A "content" tag claims "A full list of dead products killed by Microsoft in the Microsoft Cemetery" but all I see is metadata and a javascript tag. Where is the content? Microsoft …

Thank you.

No. Spammers will create repos and user profiles and snippets and anything they can with spam in them.

That is not the core of the problem. Spammers are humans, and sometimes they will solve recaptchas in large quantities to get their spam through. Its about having a multipronged ap…

invent.kde.org uses the nonfree google Recaptcha, that prevents it mostly. Not very nice for KDE to make people run nonfree software blob in their browser that gives up their freed…

There's been a gitlab bug for almost 3 years to stop relying on recaptcha, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/45684 Debian, KDE and Gnome have never wanted to make …

The point people keep talking about here as risky are: what is a derivative work, and what constitutes complete and complete corresponding source definition. Both of those things H…

AGPLv3 is exactly the same as GPLv3 except that it adds 1 paragraph. That paragraph has nothing to do with corresponding source or what a derivative is. Google ships distros with G…

Corresponding source has the exact same definition in GPLv3 and almost exactly the same in GPLv2, so all this "its completely untested" thing is completely disingenuous. Google use…

Table of like 30 videoconf programs but misses Big Blue Button, the best free software one I've used. And it doesn't mention the license of any of the programs.

He simply expects anyone who wants to keep their freedom to use youtube-dl, which is packaged in trisquel.

No one has ever accused him of hitting on his female coworkers. His assistant for the last 15 years is a woman. In most of his activities, hes a volunteer activist. Some of his cri…

I get blank page without running javascript. Not observable.

Nonfree software is often malware, https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.en.html , and it's nowadays built on top of permissively licensed free software. Its not just a diffe…

The point about what is in the right spirit is important to discuss, however, there's also a lot wrong in this article. The thing that bugs me the most is misrepresenting FSF. 1. A…

No, it requires nonfree firmware to be loaded by the driver.
