Among my long history of unrealistic activism, this is probably the most unrealistic: https://www.change.org/p/lg-electronics-lg-to-open-source-their-phones-as-they-are-shutting-down-production-for-good
"If we are going to have a national debate about free speech in the workplace, stopping the use of personality tests to cancel 'disgruntled' workers should be front and center."

Remember "Collateral Murder"?
That feeling of sitting in that Apache helicopter with murderous psychopaths insulting their victims, laughing at their death?
https://challengepower.info/collateral_murder
It felt like a video game. Endless wars still going on...
It was 11 YEARS AGO!
None of the murderers got trialed. Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld are still free.
Yet #Manning the whistleblower spent 7y in jail, #Assange the publisher didn't have one day free in 10y, has been "British Guantanamo" for 2y.
#Signal turning into a crypto-ponzi currency scheme?

Surprise!
That Signal:
- isn't really free/libre software (as Moxie denied freedom to redistribute modified version)
- would *never* federate (political choice of centralization)
- updated server software wasn't published
- invaded people's phonebooks
- runs on Amazon+NSA's infrastructure
- is virtually impossible to use out of Google's infrastructure -
- etc.
...didn't seem to be enough to alarm Signal users.
soo.. which browser should i use? they all suck in some way:
chome: lol
chromium: not as bad as chrome for privacy but is so dumbed down it hurts
vivaldi: 10/10 features but chome engine and ui is closed source
firefox: tries as hard as possible to be chrome. engine rewrite was really promising, but it's only gotten worse from that point.
brave: another chrome engine browser!!1
dillo: points for trying to be good, but webshit incompatible
netsurf: dito
$qtwebkit browser: outdated chrome engine
@gamey I think you may misunderstand, they are integrating Matrix support natively into Chatty without the plugin. So it will have matrix (and encryption support) out of the box.
Turns out it was encoding issues. Text encoding issues. Opening the file manually as binary mode before feeding it to ZipFile fixed it.
Anybody has any idea why this is considered by Python standard zipfile module as a bad zip file: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8a/bb/488841f56197b13700afd5658fc279a2025a39e22449b7cf29864669b15d/pyparsing-2.4.7-py2.py3-none-any.whl

We've got 100+ original #Pinebook laptops running #manjarolinux with #kdecommunity KDE Plasma to donate to a worthy cause. We're looking for a suitable nonprofit.
Help us help others.

Am I cool or what. Don't answer that.
I'm back on track! I released #WhatIP 1.0 powered by #gtk4 and #libadwaita and so far everything looks good! Check it out if you want, you can find it on #flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gabmus.whatip
In other news, the new version of #HydraPaper again with gtk4 and libadwaita, as well as slideshow mode and monitor configuration change detection, is coming soon!
I actually went look for it this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-tKnjFwleU
@fsf Tell me officially RMS is back and I will support you much more than I used to do in the past. Stallman is a pain in the ass for companies like Google, Microsoft and fucking Red Hat. So I don't get surprise they are the first to pressure.
