• @bruce89 yes, talking from heart. only checked it a long time ago when @lxoliva brought it up on fedora-devel. #
• Em Alcongosta… #
• @rysiek: I view those kinds of deals as shameful surrender to #swpat #
• @joseluis: they work for me, in a gprs connection in #Portugal !gnu !fsf #
• @rysiek: it was very good that Mark gave Microsoft the middle finger 😉 #swpat #
• @rysiek: it’s a deal, but not necessarily with Microsoft. Wonder if they’re not painting a target on themselves for MPEG-LA gangsters… #
• Restaurante Mario, perto do Fundao: nao se comeu nada de especialmente bem feito e ainda nos tentaram levar 15 EUR em entradas q nem vieram. #
• A friend of mine has had is first born this morning at 10:38 Lisbon time. Congratulations, friend 🙂 #
• To all my followers on Twitter, due to the end of https basic auth in June 30, my Twitter participation will be exclusively write only. #
• If you want to interact with me, please follow-me on http://identi.ca/ which is a Free (as in Freedom) Software twitter-like service. #
• It is also where the really cool people are… 🙂 #
• @brunomiguel Vão tornar obrigatório oauth/xauth para todas as aplicações e acabar com http basic auth o que é uma treta. #
• @brunomiguel read my analysis here: http://blog.1407.org/2010/06/11/twitter-is-wrong-should-not-drop-https-basic-auth/ #
• @brunomiguel São bastante broncos. oauth funciona bem para web-apps (estilo twitpic e afins) mas para aplicações clientes é treta completa. #
• @brunomiguel exactamente, quem utilizar uma aplicação não web que suporte oauth/xauth pode de repente ver mensagens suas a espalhar spam… #
• @spot will never happen because upstream does not see it as a problem. Firmware separation will have to start downstream. #
• @brunomiguel neste momento devias conseguir editar…. #
• ♺ @webmink: Just when you thought it was safe to use IRC: http://icio.us/f3qvek #
• @homembit: espero q a vossa nos de uma cabazada! ; #
• @homembit: lol nao ligo muito a football mas nestas alturas fica um inferno por aqui quando ha vitoria… #
• ♺ @brunomiguel: mostrei o tuxracer a uns miúdos e eles ficaram fascinados. ainda vão usar caixa mágica em full-time no magalhães #
• @mairin @jjnova the problem with Ubuntu WRT software freedom is that they hide it more and more. pt_PT locale talked about “gratis software” #
• @mairin @jjnova (at least ’till recently). More: adding clearly proprietary software to official channels, not just merely #swpat encumbered #
• @mairin @jjnova but OTOH their huge usability efforts were a big platform towards popularity of a (mostly) Free Software distribution. #

• @mjnalmeida: eu pus o OpenVPN a autenticar-se com "tu sabes o que" 😉 #
• #xauth solves none of the real problems with #oauth. snce «you still use your [oauth] authorised tokens to interact with the API» #bullshit #
• #xauth, just as #oauth, is bullshit security for client applications. #
• ♺ @StopActaNow "The Pirate Bay has stolen about 46 times more $ than actually exist on Earth" – #RIAA http://is.gd/ckYxH #
• @bkuhn It’s good to set goals, I see no problem in #Red_Hat setting it at $5 billion. What one could see a problem with is how it is reached #
• @schestowitz you’ll possibly like my comments there… #
• @support I think I found the behaviour that may be causing unecessary flags. I just accidently flagged @zach. #
• @zach I accidentally flagged you while I was browsing your previous messages in http://identi.ca/zach #
• @zach as I was about to press the “previous messages” button, the page finished loading and javascript focused on the text entry area. #
• @zach as a consequence of the page jumping up, guess what button is now *just*under* the mouse pointer? Yes.. flag… #
• ♺ @mjray: @ruiseabra @support that javascript auto-focus SUCKS and had me too! Either focus when the field appears or not at all, please. #
• If it wasn’t unethical, I’d just discretionally block the world cup from the company proxy. Unethical colleagues screaming about it. Grrr #

• @brunomiguel: Obrigado 🙂 podes ir compondo uma lista de blogs a convidar? #
• @brunomiguel: wiki! #
• @brunomiguel: mudaste de user? #
• ♺ @mjvalente: Iceland passes gay marriage law in unanimous vote | Reuters → http://drp.ly/1aZNc9 #
• @mairin: to be honest, !fedora already does compromise quite a bit but certainly less so than !ubuntu room for improvement on both of them! #
• @brunomiguel se puderes tentar agora 🙂 #
• Perto de Alcongosta para a Festa da Cereja… viva as pens 3G #
• @gbraad One easy package that comes to mind is Linux (rpm -ql kernel does show some blobs…) but much better than ubuntu in this regard. #
• @gbraad yes, but it’s waste of valuable developer time not having linux-libre as an alternative kernel in !fedora repos. A foreign repo too. #
• @gbraad bugs should be filed 🙂 #

• ♺ @glynmoody: Cyber War: Microsoft a weak link in national security – http://bit.ly/aoiIsO stuff at the end of piece is worrying #microsoft #
• @support I noticed I wasn’t getting any messages from @jwildeboer. Went to his identica page and noticed I have him flagged. Bug? unflag plz #
• I would love it if someone could tell @jwildeboer I didn’t flag him in Identi.ca. @greve @karsten @zoobab? Please? #
• @stephwho did he comment on that? #
• @support feature request: ability to “unflag” so users don’t have to bug @support 🙂 #
• @stephwho thank you, I didn’t ask you because I had understood you weren’t with him today 🙂 #
• @stephwho yeah, they probably are in write-only mode, right now 🙂 #
• @stephwho oh my… not even… oh… OMG! #
• Increased the messages list area in !elmdentica by moving the timeline description to the title bar and the toolbar at the bottom (+handy) #
• Type your status here… #
• @ronnypfannschmidt Good for you! 🙂 #
• Wow! What do you do when str2 = strndup(str1, 8) returns a string with 8 NULLs instead of str1’s first 8 characters? #
• If I printf(str1) I see all I expected. #
• @tonnerre do what, instead of strndup(str, limit), then? #
• @support @jwildeboer is not blocked, only flagged. Toggling block and back again doesn’t change flag status. #
• @tonnerre of course not, these printf(str1) is just a contraction, in code is printf(“%s”, str1) and only exists to debug what’s the prob. #
• @tonnerre my problem is: str1=”123456789″; str2=strndup(str1, 8); and now str2==”” #
• 20 #
• @support yeah, it took some pages of looking backwards in timeline, but yes, I receive. I only noticed because I thought he’d report today. #
• @stephwho It’s an attack on the PIGS, Portuguese and Spanish were robbed yesterday, as well. #
• But it’s South Africa! How could one not expect the tourist attraction of being robbed? Wondering when rape will start showing up… #

• @stephwho use Perl 😉 (@jwildeboer can explain you the pun) 🙂 #
• @stephwho Perl is a programming language with a tendency to «Do what I mean» because sometimes what people mean is not what they want. #
• @jwildeboer bullshit! You can make any language be a “write-only” language. That’s a matter of following good practices or not. #

• If !fedora 13’s #firefox has pt_PT localization problems (eg, Save is C-s, quit/sair is C-s as well and bad), is that upstream or not? #
• @ender2070 if that’s so, then I probably know who to pester until fixed 🙂 #

• #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 #
