    To all the GnuPG donors: We already made it from 41€ to 206€ within just 36 hours. This is pretty insane, and most of the donors were inspired by this Mastodon campaign.

    Please contribute if you can, and let's at least try to surpass the April amount of 342€ 🤗 We can do better than that!

    If you can't contribute directly, please boost this as much as you can 🎈

    I think it's ok to solder SOIC by hand. A lot of people do it. Besides, you shouldn't care whether I reprimand you!

    In this quora question asking whether Modi was against Aadhaar before the elections, the top answer is that he was not, that he was "misrepresented", and that this is "false propaganda in circulation".

    I wonder when this will develop into a 1984 style memory hole where they purge inconvenient truths like this from the public record.

    > proprietary software exists and there's a lot of it

    Well, that's the more fundamental problem, and is why I'm a free software activist. ;)

    But this is disappointing because of Ubuntu's roots. It became popular back in the day because it was a fairly well-polished Debian GNU/Linux derivative. It was accessible.

    But now it's a distribution that is _harmful_ to the free software community. Recommending Ubuntu to a user is blatantly recommending proprietary software. And with each release, it gets worse. (Though there are fully free derivatives, like Trisquel.)

    Debian itself hasn't been endorsed by the FSF because it has a non-free package repository (https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html). Ubuntu has taken that a step further with their snap container repository, which appears to have no license restrictions.

    This is very disappointing to see. The screenshot shows "You're ready to go!", followed by "You can use 'Software' to install apps like these:". The apps they list, in left-right top-down order, are: VLC (free), Skype (non-free), Spotify (non-free), Slack (non-free), Discord (non-free), Corebird (free), Mailspring (free), GIMP (free), Minecraft (non-free), Android Studio (non-free), Ora (non-free), Notepad-Plus-Plus (free), Tusk (free), Brave (free), and IDEA Community (free).

    That is 8 free and _7 non-free_. Also in the screenshot on the left is an Amazon icon.

    We've known #Ubuntu to do these things for a while now, but I grow increasingly disappointed with each release. Ubuntu also encourages the use of proprietary software through "snaps", and advertises non-free software by default through their package repositories unless you explicitly check a box (at least in previous version) during installation to use only free repositories.

    1. Ubuntu 18.04: Unity is gone, GNOME is back—and Ubuntu has never been better
      from Ars Technica
      Server users will really like 18.04, but the newest Ubuntu works great for all Linux fans.
