    Windows doesn't pose any privacy issue either.

    I didn't realize an Arch Linux derivative like Manjaro would become that popular.

    Today is a good day to honour all the good things the labour movement, and labour unions, have done for humanity.

    Humane treatment of employees, workers having some free time every day and the weekends off, wages they can live on and support their family, and generally not being worked to death.

    "...I've always lived cheaply. I live like a student, basically. And I like that, because it means that money is not telling me what to do. I can do what I think is important for me to do. It freed me to do what seemed worth doing. So make a real effort to avoid getting sucked into all the expensive lifestyle habits of typical Americans. Because if you do that, then people with the money will dictate what you do with your life. You won't be able to do what's really important to you."

    Wow RMS

    "I wasn't the only one bluffing my way through the tech scene. Everyone was doing it, even the much-sought-after engineering talent. I was struck by how many developers were, like myself, not really programmers, but rather this, that and the other. A great number of tech ninjas were not exactly black belts when it came to the actual onerous work of computer programming. So many of the complex, discrete tasks involved in the creation of a website or an app had been automated that it was no longer necessary to possess knowledge of software mechanics. The coder's work was rarely a craft. The apps ran on an assembly line, built with "open-source", off-the-shelf components. The most important computer commands for the ninja to master were copy and paste..."


    While it's true this happens a lot, it isn't very difficult to discern someone who actually understands coding from someone just peeling stuff of stack overflow or whatever.  And it isn't even the copy paste bit, plenty of proper programmers are just as guilty of it.  The differentiator is that a programmer will understand how all the moving parts are working, why they're working the way they do, and what to do to change them.  They can optimize without just running through something like composer.  They know what their programs are doing.

    This is why I resist an over reliance on external libraries or stuff like composer.  I dislike not knowing what everything is doing in my programs.

      Cars don’t just choke our children – they tear a hole in our communities | George Monbiot
      from the Guardian
      A chance has emerged to press the UK government into action over deadly pollution – and I don’t mean just the fumes from diesel engines. We must take it

    This is why I only use & support Free & Open Source Software in my personal life. This man is going to prison. Prison.

    "A California man who built a sizable business out of recycling electronic waste is headed to federal prison for 15 months after a federal appeals court in Miami rejected his claim that the “restore disks” he made to extend the lives of computers had no financial value, instead ruling that he had infringed Microsoft’s products to the tune of $700,000."

    So I just met one of the 3 (!) maintainers of F-Droid. They are desperately looking for more volunteers as they are responsible for 1500 repositories between them.
