In 1925, Coca-Cola released a souvenir shaped like a swastika, a symbol of good luck in the U.S. and India at that time. This item was actually a watch fob, used for advertising before the swastika became associated with the Nazis.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.

Hello Mr. Stallman, I have a question.
Should people be taking mRNA vaccines to end the COVID-19 pandemic? I understand the vaccines are based on mRNA "code" which is in fact proprietary.

Is it ethical to take a vaccine if it is going to end the pandemic and save millions of lives, yet the vaccine itself is based on proprietary code?

I think this is a very important question.

Spot the difference!!

You know you're in a small town when...
You don't use turn signals because everybody knows where you're going.
You're born on June 13 and your family receives gifts from the local
merchants because you're the first baby of the year.
Everyone knows whose credit is good, and whose wife isn't.
You speak to each dog you pass, by name... and he wags his tail.
You dial the wrong number, and talk for 15 minutes anyway.
You write a check on the wrong bank and it covers you anyway.
