• #oauth seems like a load of bullshit crap thrown up by a drunken bull on heat. !elmdentica #
• Leadership courses given by the military, probably explains why so many portuguese bosses are complete wankers. #
• They may be nice people, but not leaders. #
• Hey, #twitter don’t drop http auth, just forbid it under http and allow it only under https. Don’t be #wankers #
• And here’s further evidence #oauth is total bullshit: http://www.jaanuskase.com/en/2010/01/understanding_the_guts_of_twit.html #wankers #
• @gbraad well, read you from Beijing, then, I guess. Good luck and have a nice journey! #
• I’ve got a feeling oauth is incompatible with Free Software if you don’t use web apps, otherwise, secrets have to be divulged… #
• @rejon good journey, be sure to give @gbraad a welcome hug #
• #oauth consumer_secret + consumer_key == I can pretend to be your app => only web-apps are secure => client apps are not. #twitter #fail #
• #oauth is a big pile of crap, security wise. If #twitter abandons https basic auth it’s a big #fail #

• ♺ @zoobab: European Parliament’s JURI committee calls for EU patent court, EU software patents via central caselaw: http://ur1.ca/059lt #
• @lopo: You mean left… but you’re confusing habit with usability. #Apple has it for years, no problem for it’s poor addicts. #
• @lopo: Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like it much as well, but I’m convinced it’s a matter of habit 🙂 #
• @lopo: yes, that Mac OSX like interface is the ultimate goal of that change… #
• @jwildeboer: yeah… fear… #

• @lopo: ha, release early, release often 🙂 but I agree, for an LTS it was bad strategy… #

• ♺ @jwildeboer: Welcome to the Ministry of Truth AKA Apple. Web standards == Safari only. http://www.apple.com/html5/ #
• Cá assobiam para o ar e fazem de conta que nada se passa. «Quebec broke law in buying Microsoft software» http://ur1.ca/05d1w #
• O Secretário de Estado responsável por estes projectos considerados ilegais pela CE e Comissão de Inquérito já se demitiu, ou ainda assobia? #
• Se não se demite, está na hora de ser demitido… #
• Ou ele recebeu ordens para beneficiar a Microsoft, a Intel e a JP Sá Couto, entre outros? #
• “A tender was made, but only to authorized Microsoft dealers.” tal e qual o concurso para o Magalhães 2 #
• E no Canadá o concurso seria obrigatório acima de 25.000 dólares canadianos. Aqui aumentaram a despesa para cerca de 75.000 €. #
• Várias infracções à lei envolvendo despesismo continuado do estado com software: http://transparencia-pt.org/?search_str=microsoft&sort=2 #
• 5 MILHÕES DE € para a Microsoft, que agradece aos CTT: http://www.base.gov.pt/_layouts/ccp/AjusteDirecto/Detail.aspx?idAjusteDirecto=86879 #
• Só este ano já foram 7.852.868,45 € (quase 8 MILHÕES) para a Microsoft via ajuste directo. Esta vergonha não para? #
• Portuguese direct benefits to Microsoft without any kind of procurement: 2009 = 26.471.745,03 € / 2010 = 7.852.868,45 € #

• Me wanna too! ♺ @jwildeboer: Yay! My #transnational identity card is here! So proud! Official citizen of the first transnational REPUBLIC! #

• ♺ @jmcesteves: RT @RaysTechLawHash Discussion: EU To Monitor All Internet Searches via @Slashdot http://bit.ly/auZRVd #
• ♺ @JNegocios: Bruxelas ameaça levar caso Magalhães ao Tribunal de Justiça http://xl.pt/r/bvEFLv #
• ♺ @glynmoody: Scott Adams: Economic Value Of Content’s Going Zero, But Maybe It’s Okay http://bit.ly/9xdRwS gradually they get it #abundance #
• ♺ @glynmoody: Comment: Mozilla does it their way – http://bit.ly/9nkcBJ good point #mozilla #privacy #
• @torswin: !fedora did you a favour! more space for music! #
• Seria bom que os Eurodeputados portuguesses fossem a esta conferência no Parlamento Europeu, bora passar palavra? http://is.gd/cBtqT #
• It would be good if MEPs went to this conference in EuroParl, spread the word, please! http://is.gd/cBtqT Financing culture in digital era. #
• Sometimes, it seems that even though an HTTP 200 OK is returned, there’s no content in identi.ca or twitter. !elmdentica crash bug now fixed #
• @support it appears, to me, as if I’m making some calls to friends_timeline.xml and get 0 bytes with http 200 OK !elmdentica #
• Bad is calling me…. #
• See how it calls me? s/Bad/Bed/ zZzZzZzZ #

• ♺ @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. #

• @mvalente:fuck! Nuking? natural oil pollution would be lesser evil, I’d say! #
• oh this lovely cherries … when will my tummy free up some more so I can eat some more! #
• @trigon:since when is lack of proprietary software a problem ? never lacked anything and I use 64 bit distros for three years ! #

• @basilgohar to me, they seem fine: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] !fedora 13 and #radeon #
• @basilgohar yes, no problems. #
• @jwildeboer @greve is there a video? 🙂 #

• Not #identica? ♺@glynmoody Eric Raymond joins #Twitter http://bit.ly/9qvXzC "Yes, I *am* that ESR." well, of course… #esr #
• @bkuhn: unreliable, perhaps. !freerunner has many hardware problems. but ‘unusable’ isn’t fair to all the hard work done so farby many. #
• @gbraad we’re about to have a smaller common awake-margin. Thanks to the Internet 2000km == 10000km, but awake-margin becomes the challenge. #
• @gbraad have a nice time in Beijing! #
• @support I flagged @blackotaku by mistake, how can I unflag him? Sorry @blackotaku! 🙁 #
• @bkuhn @candrews possible workaround: donate code with a receipt of value (estimate worth per hour and how many hours you spent), feasible? #

• Parabens! 2^5? ♺ @zach: Happy birthday @rejon! #
• ♺ @glynmoody: Supreme Court Gets RIAA Copyright Case – http://bit.ly/bk8qwu not sure if this is big or not; any views? #copyright #scotus #
• ♺ @fontana: @glynmoody it is just a petition for #scotus to review the case – chances are won’t be taken up #
• Just delivered my tax report, and just in time too. Stressed out that *now* Portugal forces me to use proprietary software for eGov #fail #
• In previous years I could do that with a huge HTML form in a web page if I didn’t want to use their proprietary application. Now gone. #fail #
