"Mobile-zombie-free zone" sign spotted at a playground in in recently.

Ironically that made me pick up my own phone to take this photo, acting like another of those infamous zombies. In my defense I did not actually enter the playground, so strictly speaking I did not violate the sanctity of the mobile-zombie-free zone. Also, the phone ( yay!) was back in pocket directly without further zombie-like behaviour. 🙂

@erikdelareguera varför försöker de skymma sikten för fotografer?

Jag hade trott att när man är med i någon sorts demonstration är själva poängen att man vill synas och då också vill bli fotograferad. Jag fattar inte, vad är deras syfte med att marschera i Paris om de inte vill synas?

Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.

@schelling @ben hm, let me see if I understand correctly what this means.

I think it means this: if something, call it a file, is licensed with a CC license that requires attribution, then it is okay to ignore attribution and just copy the file and feed all of it bit-by-bit it into a machine as long as you call it "learning" instead of "copying"? Even if this means the machine can later produce an exact copy (without attribution) because it "learned" the contents of the file?

Is that right?

Reminder: instead of using StackOverflow for your questions about GTK and the GNOME software stack, use the GNOME Discourse instance:

discourse.gnome.org

You can also use it for applications and the overall GNOME desktop.

#gtk #gnome #development

> how is PureOS as a main driver ?

it's OK but it's still on the Byzantium version, the new one called Crimson has not been rolled out yet, I hope that will happen soon to get newer versions of things.

> I wanted to put pmOS but can't seem to get it installed.

Oh but that should be easy, it was easy when I tried it (long time ago, it should be even easier now). pmOS have that nice program "pmbootstrap" that does the installation. Maybe try again and ask for help if you get trouble?

@libreoffice please, please stay away from Google. Please don't help Google polish their image by participaing in any Google event, not in summer and not in any other season. Google is not your friend.

@stu the delivers as usual 🙂

There was a rather long while a few years ago when the cameras did not work yet. It's fun npw to look back at that now, see for example the various photo attempts in this issue: source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux/-

Images like this 😄

The sign says, literally, "The bushes die if your dog pees on them" (in Swedish).

@mikemathia meanwhile, GNU-like users wonder at how anyone in their right mind can willingly choose to use either iphone or android. 🙂

One alternative, independent search engine is that has its own index, using that you may be able to find things that Google/Microsoft decided to remove from their search results: mojeek.com/

American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau died #OTD in 1862.

In addition to "Walden," Thoreau is well-known for his essay "Civil Disobedience," which was inspired by his 1846 arrest for refusing to pay poll taxes as a protest against slavery and the Mexican-American War. His political writings later influenced many political leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
