@eastcoastweb I can connect to analytics.google.com but I don't want to 😉
You could check with telnet to port 80 and/or 443 ?
We're pleased to announce that Zoë Kooyman has been appointed as the FSF's new executive director. Thanks to John S. for nineteen years of service with the org, and read our announcement here: https://u.fsf.org/3i7
To help people get started quickly with Briar, we wrote a new quick start guide: https://briarproject.org/quick-start/
I really appreciate the clear explanation in this graphic, but I don't understand why you would include the trash-talking of linux-libre at the bottom.
If you cut out the unnecessary part about linux-libre/BSD/Alpine, then I think you have a very nice graphic that might help more people understand the issue.
Don't say that linux-libre is garbage, that is simply not true: linux-libre is what it is, and depending on what someone wants it may or may not be useful for them.

@dcz I worked on research about parallel programming modelsa few years ago, here is one of the papers: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.parco.2013.09.006
You can read the introduction part without subscription, it's a kind of overview of parallel programming approaches including something about the actor model.
@dcz Nothing is worse than threaded code. 😄

> Jag förstår inte hur det kan vara lagligt att ljuga
Kanske är det inte lagligt, om någon skulle titta på saken ordentligt.
I alla fall tror jag att just såna där påståenden som "vi värnar om din integritet" och liknande kan vara en bra utgångspunkt för att ta upp de här frågorna. Den som skrivit det där på sin webbsida har ju själv tagit upp diskussionen, då kan man diskutera med dem utifrån det.
Ofta vill de inte ljuga tror jag, de förstår bara inte.
Congratulations!
Which OS will you start with?

About user interface, are you thinking Phosh, or Plasma Mobile, or Sxmo?
Either way, good luck with it, and please report how it goes!
@arh Looks like something different from FSF India: https://fsf.org.in/
Any idea if/how they are related?
@MatejLach Seems best to avoid Intel altogether, but suppose for a moment that I am anyway using some kind of Intel-based computer. If I manage to remove or destroy its built-in wifi part and instead use only separately connected network devices (plugged in via a USB port or so), that should help protect against this?
One of my favorite books ever:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Granted it's not about the latest tech today, but I would argue it does focus on the important things that are even more important today than when it was written. How we humans relate to technology, our different approaches and attitudes towards technology.
The article by Jake Bauer that you linked to says the following:
> While the GPL may not cause as much of an obstruction
> or be as unethical as proprietary software,
> it is frankly not that much better.
Do you really think that, seriously?
How can you think that if you value the four freedoms listed by the GNU project?
In my opinion, any FLOSS kind, GPL or any other kind, is hugely better than something proprietary.
