i think that the behaviour of #rms can be criticized, but the methods used today are fucking disgusting. single persons getting steamrolled by thousands with accusations, public dismantling of their person, and calls for instant action. it's a mob eagerly awaiting the next public hanging.

@sneak, just looked it up, isn't Google Meet supposed to be using WebRTC which is E2EE? Have you tried Matrix P2P video call BTW?

So I spent the last few hours on taking pictures of cats with the rear camera of my Librem 5. Yep, that's my job now.

All credit for the camera support goes to Dorota, Martin and Angus: source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-n @merge @purism

@quarky @fribbledom, how could you put up this warning without giving more details? One of library genesis mirror is located at libgen.rs, which appears to be written in , a language spoken by hipsters worldwide.

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."

@fribbledom truly horrifying crimes would be accessing library genesis, which not only has scientific information but also university-level textbooks (gasp) searchable by author, title, edition, IBSN etc. and available from several mirrors!
I just don't know how Pearson survives really, they're basically *giving* the eBooks away

This, plus the uncertainty in scholarship/financial support from the local government really gives me second thoughts about postponing my master study until post-covid, even if I get accepted. On the other hand, getting a job working exclusively free software is equally hard, especially when I'm lacking expertise in lower-level computing and relevant theoretical knowledge.

I find it funny that I still call the Meta/Super/Windows key as "flag" because during my first experiences with computer the Windows logo looked like a flag.
