My first computer was a Commodore C16 in 1986, followed by a C128D in 1987, on which I ran the included CP/M 3.0 and wrote my first Turbo pascal programs on it.
1991, I got my first MS-DOS-based PC with a real screen reader, HAL v4.5 by @yourdolphin.

Universal Audio said they'd invest in Linux support for their devices if tens of thousands of people signed a petition. So, here's that petition:

@aral I signed but I am working on a Web 3.0 app. I see data being distributed as part of the semantic web. People can hook into the network and share using a device and not a server.

@3rik can still contribute and build upon it. They just cannot be part of a corporation. Its similar to MIT and GPL. What is more free, writing code so some billionaire can make more money and you get health insurance, or working together to make your collective peers' live more fruitful? Both make open source code.

@sam Librem.one has an interesting approach where the same account can be used for mastodon, email, matrix. You'll need all services hosted in the same place. I don't know what they do in the backend, but is this something you were thinking of?

@rysiek@mastodon.technology the lady and finally to the guy got brought down because of their tone. If people think the entire show is not good because of its tone, then they missed most of the messages/issues.

@obra I would like to get more into developing open source but if a security researcher comes with a bug. I would like to know the best processes that we can use to fix the issue and push it out so the log4j incident doesn't repeat.

@devinprater you can tell the type of people if a meow breaks the silence or extends it. Cats make a community but you cannot herd them.

@kyle I was always a fan of Tesla as they were the first mover and made cool cars. But they have gone down the path of Apple and now I want to get another electronic car maker that'll care for their customers.

@StampedingLonghorn @devinprater what! I thought you meant there was a little reset type button you needed a pin to press for 3 seconds to unlock your computer 🤪

Of course Elsevier's "enhanced pdf viewer" tracks where you click, view, if you hide the page, etc. and then transmits a big base64 blob of events along with ID from University proxy when you leave. I'm sure straight to SciVal for sale.
Is this the way we want science to work?

A good video looking at the carbon impacts of meat. I rarely eat meat because of the sustainability issues. 26% of carbon emissions is from farming and I feel this is the only industry we cannot just switch to a carbon neutral version. It requires personal change 😔

@be I think it was to allow you to use it with GPL code.
