@fsf The phrase "Free as in Freedom" is more meaningful today than ever before. We often talk of users being "robbed" of their freedoms by non-free software, but many users aren't provided the opportunity to have something to be robbed of to begin with. Nearly everything users do is controlled and surveilled by corporations and governments as a feature, by default. Non-free software exposes and exfiltrates the most intimate aspects of our lives---it explores our thoughts, sits in our living rooms, and understands us better than we understand ourselves. Children are exposed to and taught to love and accept these software and devices before they can even crawl.
I've never felt more liberated by #freesoftware. But I've also never felt more concerned and sympathetic for users who are caught up in all of this. Most users don't even know that there are things to be concerned _of_, let alone where to even begin, despite the best intentions and predictions of many within our community.
And I've also never felt more compelled to do something about it.
Or maybe that's one of the best. ♻ @xahlee possibly one worst aspect of open source ideology, is helping the rise of the sjw ideology, and today, pushing for open communism.
Yahoo Mail has taken blacklisting to new levels. I run a number of mailing lists, and *all* mail to yahoo.com addresses (and its affiliates like rogers.com) are bouncing, with the message "Someone has complained about your IP address", and then it lists the IP address of my upstream mail provider! So there are thousands of people who can't send to Yahoo addresses, based on one complaint?
As #OpenBSD's de-facto wifi maintainer, I first learned about this WPA problem in June. A simple patch was provided which I could commit with slight modifications.
The original embargo was already 2 months long, and then extended again for 2 months.
The generall public (you) were left in the dark about this for at least 4 months.
This is a very sad state of affairs. It takes the industry much too long to apply a simple patch.
Wut? I thought #DigitalAudioTape was a failed technology from the 1990s, and haven't seen references to #SingleSideBand since the #CBRadio days. Or perhaps we ran out of #TLAs in 2010, and we're just recycling the unused ones. @lnxw48a1 @clacke #Dat #SSB
