Personnellement j'aime beaucoup les fromages du Québec. Ils sont nombreux, divers, et originaux : les québécois innovent constamment dans ce domaine.

Ici en Ontario le cheddar est roi, et moi j'aime pas.

I made the decision to stop reading a book that no longer holds my interest. Past me would have kept reading so I can say I read the book, but time is precious! Read what brings you joy!

One of the serious problems with viewing things like copyright as intellectual property rather than a specially granted, limited monopoly is that it prejudices all discussions.

If a phone manufacturer locks down all phones to keep people from installing whatever software they want or institutes noncompete requirements in their app stores or whatever other garbage, a lot of people are going to implicitly be on the phone's side and require a VERY STRONG rationale to 'arbitrarily deprive the company of its property rights'.

Such rationales exist, but the huge presumption based on the already problematic Awe and Reverence for the Word Property really screws up our legal and policy framework.

On the other hand if we made it clear to everyone that we're granting a monopoly to achieve specific social purposes and with specific requirements, then any use of the monopoly would be tried against those enumerated social goods.

We do it a lot in Jewish spaces and I also encountered it in Unitarian spaces and I just think it's super lovely.

Another free thing you can do is dancing. As individuals and as social dances like Square, Contra, and Salsa.

Also, for non-social activities, I highly recommend going for walks on a nice sunny day :3

#GNU #Jami (formerly #Ring) update: a few days ago, I got the #program to work over a #LAN and today I now know it works over a #WAN (home to work) both for #messaging and #video #calls. Good job and thanks to the developers.
