@debian I understand very well why Google wants to collaborate with Debian, but why would Debian want to collaborate with Google? If this is a step towards Google getting more influence over Debian, then this collaboration is bad news. Take a look at what Google is and what Google is doing to the world today. Google's near-monopoly position on a lot of things is dangerous. Please, please, stay independent from Google.

Made this #igloo today.

@mntmn Hi, looks like the https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform page needs to be updated (it says orders placed now ship Feb 15, 2021). Is there a new estimate of when preordered MNT Reform will start shipping? Can't wait to get mine 🙂

@akenyg Fint! En annan frejdig favorit ur samma bok är "Sagan om apan som tänkte i flera led", missa inte den! Min pappa brukade återberätta den ur minnet, alltid lika kul.

@akenyg Ja visst är det fint. Kom att tänka på hans "Sagan om busschauffören som tänkte att va fan" nu, många år sen jag läste (eller någon läste högt för mig, så var det nog) men jag minns precis känslan. Bra grejer.

@silverwizard The thing is, Android users don't really own the hardware. The true owner is Google, and Google will only allow the hardware to be used in a way that benefits Google.

@selea I was a teacher for a while, for a bit older kids but I think the pros and cons are largely the same. I think the main advantage of homework is that it can get the parents involved. But that also means inequality, because the kids learning becomes dependent on who their parents are. If we want schools to give all kids equal opportunities, then better skip the homework for those young ages.

@akenyg Ett annat viktigt område tänker jag är att försöka få folk att förstå skillnaden mellan å ena sidan öppna standarder som inte ägs av någon, som att ha en epost-adress eller en hemsida med en egen domän som man själv kontrollerar, och å andra sidan att finnas inom ett enormt storföretags kontroll, t.ex. att hänvisa till en Facebooks-sida eller en app som bara finns för Google/Apple-produkter. Många fattar inte skillnaden. Något biblioteken kunde jobba med?

@zwerg12 Beautiful. Where is that?

@linmob OK, thanks.

@akenyg Hallå, sluta inte skriva mitt i en mening så där. :-) Ska en vara riktigt elak kan, vad?

@linmob Hi! Odysee refuses to let me watch it without creating an account there, is there any way to get around that. to watch your video without an odysee account?

@codesections Don't you think it means kind of like "nohup" for a command, maybe meaning that "I will be away for a while and I want the rest of you to carry on without waiting for me to be back"?

Receiving MMS on the #librem5 is working now, using #ModemManager and mmsd and #chatty, after some recent fixes including an addition to libqmi to allow sending ack for "transfer route MT" messages, see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/issues/30 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/257 #phosh #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism #gnomeonmobile

@eloquence Why did it enter the public domain at this particular time, what determines that? Does this happen for all books that are old enough?

@silverhax To make it work directly without need to reboot, I think you need to do "systemctl daemon-reload" to make sure systemd understands that some of its files have changed.

@joacim Eldarevalsen av Evert Taube, första versen:

När jag börja att segla till sjöss i maskin
var jag trimmer på Aileen Alannah
För jag lämna en trålare i Aberdeen
och fick chansen att mönstra med samma
Vi var sex man på durken och två i var box
det var kolboxar stora som hus
Och det mesta vi gick med var stenkol och koks
ifrån Sunderland till Santa Cruz

@syntax You mean there is some microsoft URL in the /etc/apt/sources.list file? Which distro, is it plain debian or something else?
