Gave up on IRC for the night; started watching a nice 1983 #scifi adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' novel, "It Can't Happen Here", with my elder son....
-
#ActivityPub dev calls me "tonedeaf" when I ask if #Mastodon's scoping or takedowns amount to #DRM, then goes on to refer to relatively trivial crap like "people on the Internet retelling stories that someone wishes he could just un-post" as "#nazis burning people".
#irony #sigh

@fsf in case anyone wants both "The Right to Read" *and* "Lending: a Solved Problem" in a single easy-printing fold-once #IDAD pamphlet, I made a nice preformatted PDF for that too: https://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/idad-2019_pamphlet.pdf
(and you can even change which article is in front by just by folding it in the other direction! ☺)

@fsf I converted "The Right to Read" and "Lending: a Solved Problem" into nice fold-in-half pamphlets (preformatted for super-easy printing on 2-sided US Letter sized paper), in case anyone's looking for material to hand out for #IDAD:

Did you see the great dust jackets we made for the International Day Against DRM #IDAD, happening tomorrow, 10/12? Get one or print one to let the world know how you feel about #DRM! Read more: https://u.fsf.org/2xc https://status.fsf.org/attachment/1457020

Actually, trying to clarify a potential misinterpretation may have opened up another.
To be clear: I continue to support the FSF, and I respect the opinions of the GNU maintainers who signed the statement. And to those who support rms: please note that he has called for people to support the FSF as well.

I'm deeply disturbed and disappointed by the hatred, bigotry, and tribalism I've observed from certain groups over the past number of weeks.
The free software community should know better than most that people have differences in opinion---we fight for freedoms many people don't even see as something worth fighting for. Every day is a brutal, uphill struggle against forces many times more powerful than we are. But we persist, undeterred.
Yet many can't handle differences of opinion within our own community?
People are upset. But if your posts feel like you're waging war, please take a step back and consider what you're doing. I don't care what side you are on, or what position you hold---if you spew intolerance, then I condemn your words even if I'd otherwise support your cause. Think of what example you're setting for future advocates and activists looking to join us in our cause.
And, since this statement could be easily misinterpreted as supporting those I'm speaking out against: the FSF is not the enemy. A collective of GNU maintainers are not the enemy. In fact, if you see any "enemy" in any of this, I urge you to take a deep breath and step away for a bit.
One useful strategy is to write what upsets you, but don't send it. Sit on it for hours, maybe even a day. Return to it when you're calm. I've deleted or re-written countless messages doing this.

@boneidol at least that used to be the kind of person I was. Looking back on the last few years, at some point I became kind of #chickenshit. Pretty sure I remember when, actually. Need to more intentfully pursue full remedy of that situation, from here on in....
-
@boneidol the same sort of worldview was what led me to grow out a #beard at the end of 2001: I was afraid of prejudices I saw developing here in the #USA at that time....

Things tend to become "less OK" when people of well repute stop doing them...
-
So is it OK to say "Happy Hacking" or not still ?
-
Fright of my life: ran "git commit -a -m ..." and got a ream of bizarrely-detailed C-level memory-debugging diagnostics for unexpectedly-copious "add" and "del" operations; panicked for a moment until I realized I'd #typo'd "git" as "dig".
!TIL what dig's "-m" option of does ☺
-
#Termbin is a nice #pastebin !hack https://termbin.com/
Obvious down side: no #TLS #security.
But it's also #nonobvious if any of the other pastebin tools use TLS—where TLS is easily added in front of #termbin and clients just swap #netcat for #socat or #gnutls.

"The Man Who Laughs" sounds like a nice #movie for #Halloween—and a great one to celebrate #Batman's 80th #birthday / #anniversary. #whynotboth☺

(though #Joker's 80th is not until April of next year)
-
(tentatively) SUNDAY 10/27 ONE DAY ONLY—a #silent-film with #live-music: The Man Who Laughs (NR, 110 min.)

What I REALLY want from theatres is just NEWS feeds--notices of CHANGES in lineup/showtimes, so it's possible to actually *plan around* seeing #movies instead of waiting 'til #freetime "shows up" in my schedule.
#MakingItHappen! Started in #Wilton, !NH; can now follow @wiltontht@nhcrossing.com!

Something I don't remember seeing before, but on the schedule at the !NH Highland Games today: *women's* pro #caber-toss
-
Time for the annual !NH Highland Games & Festival, this weekend!

It's so weird sometimes, watching the #timezones pass by my #window, #ontheinternet. ☺
Like, `UTC-5 and everyone here went to sleep hours ago' -> `UTC+0 and #TZAG!' -> `UTC-5 and now "hours ago" is long enough that my wife is waking up and... I should go to #sleep at some point shouldn't I?'
