• ♺ @xtarwars: !gnu Ubisoft DRM Authentication Servers Go Down http://ur1.ca/opvt #
• ♺ @timbray: Holy <whatever>, Edward Tufte gets an Obama administration appointment: http://is.gd/9Wrsa There is hope. #
• ♺ @zoobab: European Conservatives resotution to get access to ACTA documents: http://i5.be/azP #
• @jwildeboer but for a long duration flight you’d really appreciate being able to power it off #
• @glynmoody see why #ACTA won’t change EU rules? EU rules will be already in place 😉 #
• @stephwer is there a mailing list for #tnparty? where can I join in? 🙂 #
• Good luck! ♺ @webmink: Today is my Last Day of employment At Sun: (well, it became Oracle on March 1st in the UK but.. http://bit.ly/bDRtkM #
• Bleeding continues: @webmink is leaving s/SUN/Oracle/ today. After an excellent work, I can only wish him the best of luck for the future! #
• @webmink good luck on your new ventures, hope our paths meet again 🙂 #
• @stephwer becoming one… #
• Sábia decisão do Governo: TGV só Lisboa-Vigo (pelo menos para já). #
• 9am laptop works just as fine as usual. 1h30min later, doesn’t even power on. fortunately work had a replacement one at hand. #
• Already replaced Windows logo sticker with a sticker with the image in this shirt http://badvista.fsf.org/blog/badvista-shirt #
• Será que o Governo vai reduzir a despesa utilizando mais Software Livre ou vai continuar a “doar” fortunas desnecessárias? #
• @stephwer Soon I”ll be able to order my passport online. #tnparty 🙂 #
• #tnparty is not very friendly to blind citizens (too flashy) #
• ♺@zoobab: IIPA suggested Brazil India Indonesia Philippines Thailand be on USTR watchlist for policies favouring opensource http://i5.be/aAd #

• Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is another very well spent time even if the 3D didn’t add much. #
• @chmod755: web can’t support OpenPGP safely and securely, never give your keys to a remote server !fsf !fsfe !ubuntu !fedora !gnu #
• @sunny256: yeah but that isn’t support of #OpenPGP that is sending a normal fil.e #
• @openuniverse of course not, don’t be ridiculous. I’m talking about webmail. The best you can do is send a file that happens to be encrypted #
• @lovenemesis the OpenMoko has about 5 computers inside the device. The GSM one runs a proprietary dedicated OS. #
• @lovenemesis However, even if we could run Free Software in it (and we’re really close to) it needs legalizing or you can go to jail for it. #
• @rkj I’m kind of hopeful for Moorestown and Meego in the sens of running Free Software in it, but I’ll bet it’s not open hardware. #
• @gbraad GSM is quickly growing irrelevant 🙂 #
• @rkj yup, that’s Moorestown. #
• Oh, I think I got it on how to use eet_data_descriptors 🙂 #
• @gbraad no problem with my 32” #Samsung #LCD #TV but it’s an older model some 3 years old (or is it 4?). Held in a matte black wall cool+++ #
• Descaramento da RIAA atinge novo recorde baixo-nível (via@mind_booster):RIAA Claims Music Pirates Hurt Haiti Fund Raising http://ff.im/h6E0y #
• @gbraad what I love about them is that when ON they don’t show lights (at least the ones from same gen as my #Samsung #LCD #TV #
• @support @elmdentica marked http://identi.ca/notice/24027987 as favorite w/twitter api, shows up in favorites, but can’t unmark as favorite #
• @support “echo | curl –basic –user elmdentica http://identi.ca/api/favorites/create/17580436.xml -d -” gives error #
• @support The database for Identi.ca isn’t responding correctly, so the site won’t work properly. #
• @gbraad monitor or tv? 🙂 #
• @support it’s an HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error #
• @support oh well, looking forward for fix applied date… 🙂 any suggested workaround? #
• @support is it *also* supposed to break when marking from web browser? it’s broken through there as well. #
• @gbraad it seems that if I mark a notice as favorite through twitter api in identi.ca it corrupts something at DB level. #

• Ok, User timeline also works ok on !elmdentica, just trying it out with an account with no difference between user and friends timelines. #
• #unexpected and #weird ♺ @schestowitz: #Google Supports Tor, #Android Offers #Tor #Anonymity http://ur1.ca/oivi http://ur1.ca/oivj #
• @zach: i’m enjoying Caprica but I don’t know how much longer it’ll be in the air if it doesn’t pick up steam… #
• @floschi: you can tell @jwildeboer about it 😉 #
• ♺ @paulopedroso: A ler. RT @vascocampilho: Li e Gostei: The Portuguese economy is more flexible than the U.S. http://ow.ly/16JmuJ #
• Tragic! Nexuiz getting a nonfree fork and stealing the name: http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6043 !gnu !freesoftware #
• @toopaz I believe you are unfamiliar with the history of Apple vs Microsoft, right? Young, are you? Right? #
• @jwildeboer I’d prefer a better one, one where the maker isn’t «disinclined» to fix bugs. Worst problem of OLPC hw is probably wifi card. #
• ♺@samadeu: Proposta antipirataria do Governo inglês é derrotada na Câmara dos Lordes http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8549112.stm #
• @jwildeboer but the godawful bug that it *never* powers down is a serious energy drainer. «Marvell’s disinclined to fix this bug» from wiki #
• ♺ @mjnalmeida: “HACKED BY NEO” http://bit.ly/aNgDDR #
• !elmdentica now allows choosing your preferred browser and supports public, user and friends timelines. Also a bit faster, uses more EFL. #

• @jwildeboer sure, why not. #
• Excelente artigo: O Tsunami Somos Nós http://tek.sapo.pt/opiniao/opiniao_o_tsunami_somos_nos_1050302.html por @jmcesteves #
• @gbraad a couple of hours ago @bkuhn from twitter (who’s not @bkuhn from identi.ca) got a message from me 🙂 #
• @gbraad if !osmocombb is able to make calls but not licensed, you can go to jail for using it. not a solution, different issue: #stupidlaw #
• @bkuhn I’m hopeful Moorestown won’t be so bad as current android phones are 🙂 #
• Dear !dfd #dfd2010 friends, can we please have the SVG files in http://www.documentfreedom.org/Artwork2010 *please*? #
• ♺ @techdirt: Ubisoft’s Annoying New DRM Cracked Within Hours Of Release http://dlvr.it/5jbG #
• RT @between @tuxbrain loving nanonote! #
• Ainda que Sócrates possa estar inculpável, está certamente rodeado de gente duvidosa. Diz-me com quem andas… dir-te-ei quem és… #
• @zach I found a JUST AWESOME all-you-can-eat sushi place in Lisboa, Portugal, for 15€+drinks. Variety and quality ++ #
• @bugabundo Don’t you mean $ gconftool-2 –set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” –type string “:minimize,maximize,close” ? !ubuntu #
• @bugabundo I just thought you where telling other !ubuntu users how to get it the normal way. #
• @bugabundo One risk for !ubuntu with all this “looks” changes are #apple lawsuites, let’s hope they don’t feel like repeating the old case. #
• @bugabundo they did it against Windows with far greater differences… so…. #
• Yes! Loading the public timelines now works in !elmdentica svn… #

• @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. #

• @carlopiana investment fund … no incentive to keep the company as a whole … absent an overall industrial plan easiest cash-in an auction #

• Mário Franco: foram 854M€ vs Mário Lino: foram 900M€. Logo 46M€ ou são trocos para esta gente, ou algo q começa por L e rima com uva… #

• Many thanks to batden, Giorgos Koutsikos and Massimo Maiurana for translating !elmdentica into fr, el and it, respectively 🙂 #
• #Spartacus: Blood and Sand Can it get any better? 🙂 #
• Getting a weird coredump with libcurl and an https url in !fedora, backtrace points at libcurl, rpm -V seems fine, suggestions? #

• Quantas das minhas 5xN janelas de firefox x tabs poderão dar artigos para o blog do Software Livre? Bom, vamos lá a ver 🙂 #
• @stephwer I was pissed previously, now I’m bored beyond pissing 🙂 #
• @pvilela para mim o pior é que terem posto um pinpad para login tornou muito mais fácil alguém atrás de mim saber as minhas credenciais u/p. #
• Nice! Step 1: integrate !elmdentica into #enlightenment ‘s svn. Step 2: remember to do svn update and find out that translations were added #
