Remember this, if you run #PureBrowser instead of Firefox and visit about:addons, and search for an addon, and it says "Only with FirefoxβGet Firefox Now" you can click on "See all versions" and install the latest version even if you don't have the real Firefox. It's been working for me, for the add-ons I care about. I hope it works for you, too! CC @Purism
The old days that never were, to be sure. I do remember the old days. Applying for an email account at the department's IT contact. Going into the cellar where the computer rooms were, and logging into an AIX. Rows and rows of computers, one or two other humans, practically no help, no search engines, everything was hard. We're building a better past, striving for a brighter future!
@applecandy Iβm just shocked this all taking so long. Hopefully they already determined what kind it is and know that itβs a slow grower. For my wife, it was done in a matter of days, and when we went to the chemo hospital they didnβt want to fix a day, they wanted her to start right away, no waiting.
@applecandy Well, it was horrible but now itβs done. Next step: waiting for the results? Or did you get a doctor to look at them right away? Here in Switzerland they usually wonβt comment until you doc gets to see them, so more waiting. π§βοΈ
The font, the colours, everything is great and old school about this website. http://www.midi-france.info/030404_collioure.htm And Collioure is great, too. I have vague memories of eating sea fruit at L'Amphitryon. I think there must be a pub here where Picasso and others paid by leaving paintings but I don't remember it, now. All these memories, lost.
@rpcutts@lupine Another point to make would be legal standing. The FSF also wants copyright assignments. In exchange, they grant you all the rights back, but the important part is that they can now go to court with your code because you assigned copyright. Otherwise they would have to go to court with all the contributors which is probably unfeasible.
Only by providing a counter-narrative, which also deals with the constant burning future shock people are feeling - we can make other perspectives and futures possible.
If you won't create a narrative explaining why you did something, someone else will supply theirs.
No matter how good the software created by the engineers is, no matter how much work the activists put in, the public needs storytellers to tell them why it's important as well.
βWhy deplore βcollapse,β when the situation it depicts is most often the disaggregation of a complex, fragile, and typically oppressive state into smaller, decentralized fragments?β (209) Scholars deplore it, Scott suggests, because states leave more records and archaeological traces. Thereβs often little to study left by dispersed populations.
@lupine I donβt think so. Your fork is effectively AGPL and simply not contributed back. No problem. They never use it. Remeber MySQL (and MariaDB). @tbeckett
@PresGas I ended up deleting my comments and unfollowing Gabor Lux as the very vitriol I was mentioning started boiling over, this time from the other side. Uuuugh.
