Jag upptäckte det själv alldeles nyligen, det verkar vara en jättebra förening tycker jag. Fler medlemmar behövs! 🙂

Skickat nyss till DFRI-listan:

Projekt-förslag: Driv på för fri och öppen lösning för svensk e-legitimation (alternativ till BankID)

"Jag skulle vilja starta ett DFRI-projekt som handlar om hur en fri och öppen lösning för svensk e-legitimation kan bli verklighet. Här nedanför försöker jag förklara tanken med detta. Tacksam för all sorts återkoppling, särskilt om du kan tänka dig att vara med och delta i projektet. [...]"

@mntmn If I place a new order now, how soon would that ship?

#GNU #shotonlibrem5

@jrballesteros05 I have worked with some NAT (network address translation) solutions that are needed because of the lack of IPV4 addresses. I can tell you that it is a terrible mess, the proper solution would be to move to a system with enough addresses available, such as IPV6.

I think that brokep may have a point: the current situation benefits those who own lots of IPV4 addresses, it is not in their interest to change this.

For the public good, moving more to IPV6 would be a good thing.

This is interesting, about #Bitcoin and #China and so on:

"The threat of an unregulated alternative monetary system emerging from blockchain technology is a clear and present danger to the Communist party, according to observers."

"Jim Cramer, a former hedge fund manager and CNN business expert, said the government in Beijing “believe it’s a direct threat to the regime because … it is outside their control”."

@lionirdeadman@fosstodon.org The point is that for those who regret signing it after they thought it through (lots of people I would think) it's still possible to have their names removed.

For example, you could remove your signature. Why not do the right thing?

Fewer names on that list means better chances of having a healthy conversation about free software and the FSF going forward.

Did you read this? https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2021-04-12-excommunicating.html

The number of signatures on the anti-#RMS open letter on github is down from 3009 to 3004.

@civodul

After your last quote, Kuhn continues like this:

"That said, if I have to chose between the strict dichotomy of: (a) copyrights held by the FSF (which has the possibility of recovery in the future and restoration to an organization that actively enforces the GPL) vs. (b) copyrights held by companies — many of whom are known to oppose enforcement of the GPL, I would still pick the FSF."

The main point, I guess, is that the FSF works for the public good, while those companies do not.

@fsfe

Thanks for answering!

That sounds great, I look forward to that upcoming campaign. The choice of operating system is a very important software freedom issue.

@purism

@fsfe On the topic of Free Software alternatives for smartphones, note also the #librem5 by @purism and the #pinephone with operating systems like #pureos, #postmarketos, #mobian and others that take a more radical approach. Instead of just "freeing your android", they choose skip android alltogether and instead build something that is built to be free from the ground up. Does the #FSFE support such efforts as well?

@tuxdevices Running #phosh?

@hjartberg Nu förstår jag, tack!

@hjartberg Är det inte sant alltså? Kan du förklara?

Jag blev precis medlem i DFRI: Föreningen för Digitala Fri- och Rättigheter

Bli medlem du också!

@civictechse

Om du känner till andra föreningar eller organisationer i Sverige som jobbar med såna här saker, vilka är det?

FSF har mejllistan "libreplanet-se": https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-se/

Har FSFE någon svensk avdelning eller liknande?

@mntmn

When I placed my order, in Oct 2020, the order details said "Pre-order, estimated to ship Dec 10, 2020". Then for a while my order was "estimated to ship on Feb 15, 2021". Then it was "estimated to ship on Apr 15, 2021". Then "estimated to ship on Apr 18, 2021".

I think you mentioned at some point that you don't control how the crowdsupply thing works, but this is still a problem.

@mntmn Thanks!

When I said "speed up" that was a joke, but it's also a little bit serious. The serious part: looking at the crowdsupply page today, it says "Orders placed now ship Jun 18, 2021." So you would need to speed up if you were to meet the expectation created by the date of the crowdsupply page.
