Identi.ca Updates for 2010-03-04

  • @bkuhn: so … did you cover !freerunner and freesmartphone.org? didn´t read it yet #
  • @bkuhn: and I´m posting from my !elmdentica free software for !freerunner :] #
  • ♺ @EFF Doctorow: Lib Dems have proposed outlawing ‘web lockers’. Have they never tried to send a large, private file? http://eff.org/r.1g6 #
  • one would wish they did so ♺ @slashdot: Typical Windows User Patches Every 5 Days http://bit.ly/cOoj1K #
  • @LuisFCorreia: my point is that if they actually did the upgrades there wouldn’t be so many botnets. #
  • @LuisFCorreia: I like to say that a patch a day keeps the worms away 😉 #
  • ♺ @gbraad: !StatusNet 0.9.0 released http://status.net/2010/03/04/statusnet-0-9-0-released (via @evan) #
  • @gbraad right on! #
  • @bkuhn still haven’t read your article, but while OpenMoko failed as a company, freesmartphone is what GNU/Linux was years ago. #
  • Interested in Munich’s experiences migrating 15k desktops to OpenOffice.org? Listen @floschi’s talk tmrw at #CeBIT, 9:15, http://ur1.ca/o81w #
  • @bkuhn you know that there’s people working on getting the freesmartphone.org stack on other phones, right? 🙂 what’s needed is drivers 🙁 #
  • @bkuhn android forks are worthless, just get the drivers and get a real platform on the phone. android sucks as a platform. shiny toy. #
  • @bkuhn just finished reading your article. my feelings exactly, however you seem to be okay with mere forks of android or meego. #
  • @bkuhn that doesn’t work because of device drivers. our biggest problem on embed devices are drivers. => too much proprietary. #
  • @bkuhn @gbraad and drivers is what leaves me most hopeful about meego, lest the same brainiacs behing poulsbo are involved… #
  • s/behing/behind/ #
  • @gbraad I want a shiny and flashy Free Software phone. GSM has other issues besides software freedom, can be next battle. 1st: the device! #
  • ♺ @fkarlitschek: movie screening in the cinema canceled because of problem with the movie encryption. #DRM fail. #
