♺ @gbraad: good interview with @tuxbrain’>@tuxbrain #
@support having problems? @elmdentica can’t mark as favorite @gbraad’s http://is.gd/cyyRR an error dialog opens up just saying “error”. #
@smaffulli don’t bother with @lefty as he clearly has some serious emotional issues with #FSF and @rms. You’ll just loose your time. #
@lefty Interesting (and revealing) that you confuse slander and hate-speech with critique. Notice I never tried to shut you up, so be free. #
@lefty It’s also interesting (and revealing) that you confuse advice freely given with babysitting. #
And now I’ve just violated my own advice *sigh* back to coding… #
@support yeah, seems to be gone now. It was via the web browser, but gone now, thanks. #
@support and the bug I needed to fix is now fixed. #
@gbraad yeah, and what is the most weird is that I thought I had nailed this bug previously… must have accidently reverted the fix 🙁 #
Yay! 🙂 ♺ @puentesarrin: ElmDentica (http://goo.gl/NVTZ) en Español Perú: http://goo.gl/a6bb !elmdentica #
@smaffulli oh, right, they might just forsake their mission, relicense to whatever just for the popularity of #Apple Store. *not*. #
@smaffulli they complained and proposed two remedies: either comply with the license, or stop distribution. Bad is on Apple. Their move now. #
@smaffulli you have it with openembedded or debian mobile devices. “app stores” just prove repositories are a popular wish. s/repo/appstore/ #
@smaffulli What leverage has FSF over #Apple and their Stores? None AFAICT. Should they care? IMHO they shouldn’t. #Apple’s a lost cause. #
@lefty As usual, 140c is hardly enough for serious talk lest ye be misunderstood. In the axis of user’s freedoms, the move is on/from Apple. #
AppleStore terms are incompatible with any Free Software license, but more so in the case of GPL which forbids more restrictions. Good IMHO. #
@lefty What are the app stores but repo’s? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. No difference AFAICT. Oh, kill switches! #
SO, AppleStores GNU/Linux repos + DRM + single source + no user control + kill switches, what am I missing? #iPay society, not for me. #
@smaffulli Removing GNU Go is not stick, stick would be law suite for having done so and demanding retribution. #
@smaffulli Removing GNU Go is self imposed from #Apple. Bad is on Apple, not #FSF, for that move. #
@smaffulli And besides, there are many millions more dependent on other drug suppliers, like Microsoft. #
@smaffulli Removal appears self imposed by #Apple. #FSF has «written to Apple and asked them to come into compliance». http://is.gd/cyFYl #
@smaffulli How else are you going to have your rights defended under the current copyright regime? Sad, yes. Alternatives? #
@smaffulli It’s *impossible* for #FSF to make a Free Software mobile “app store” and I hope they don’t waste resources on that. #
