Much of what you all said about the status of women before prohibition was reflective of this.  I\'m old and I can remember when, in the USA, a woman could not get a loan, a mortgage, or a credit card without a male cosigner, if she could get one at all.\r\n\r\nAnd, as we can see from current history, many men still view women as property, indeed, as playthings.\r\n\r\nIn addition, as a lifelong reader of Playboy (and at the risk of starting something), I must, with some trepidation, question how   Playboy pictures can be conflated with pornography, unless the conflator believes that nudity is inherently pornographic, a position I do not share.  I would argue that said person, at the least, has never seen a copy of Hustler. nor an image of the Venus de Milo.  \r\n\r\nWhy for that matter, do you think the great masters of painting have painted so many nudes?  I guarantee--as Justin Wilson used to say--it wasn\'t solely because of an abstract appreciation of color and form.\r\n\r\nOnce more, an excellent discussion.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

Musk, Bezos and Branson aren\'t geniuses in the sense that they are sciencing and engineering all this stuff when nobody else could, they\'re just hiring the people who do.\r\n\r\nStill, I think people fawning over Musk is awesome, because it means people are pinning their hopes on research, engineering and entrepreneurship, because that\'s what he symbolizes.

It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from this script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process or make designs that are defined by configurable parameters.\r\n\r\nOpenSCAD provides two main modelling techniques: First there is constructive solid geometry (aka CSG) and second there is extrusion of 2D outlines. Autocad DXF files can be used as the data exchange format for such 2D outlines. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. Besides DXF files OpenSCAD can read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),
(2377,2518,'2018-04-06 15:33:39','Steve','Really a different category of software','If the question is, \"can you do 3D modeling with OpenSCAD?\", then the answer is yes. However, as I understand it, considering OpenSCAD an alternative to things like Fusion 360 and SolidWorks and others, is a bit tough. The open source world also has Blender, with which you can do 3D modeling too. But again, as I understand it, the way these options work is a lot different and they lack many of the features present in the commercial products.\r\n\r\nIt is worth mentioning that there are a few 3D modeling options out there that are not open source, but do work with Linux due to the fact that they are cloud/web based. OnShape.com comes to mind.\r\n\r\nSo, while there are alternatives, sort of, Fusion 360 seems to be becoming the software of choice in \"Maker\" circles.\r\n\r\nI am a beginner at this, so these are mostly just my perceptions. Eventually, I may be able to speak with more authority, or at least more experience.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

I found that it was really time consuming, and Terry F took over for a period of time until it fizzled out. \r\n\r\nThe main idea that I had was to get more OGG content out there, to help expand the awareness of the OGG format, due to restrictions of the MP3 format, and that many MP3 Players didn\'t support it.  - Today, most people are listening to content on computers or Android devices, most are able to listen to the ogg format, if they wish. \r\n\r\nIf my ol\' memory serves right, even Mark Shuttleworth has stopped worrying about the MP3 format being a real problem, even tho\' it\'s still a closed file format.

Of all the languages poised to serve as a global language, there could not be one more undeserving than an amalgamation of Germanic forced through a filter of Latin. It\'s inconsistent, confusing, over-complex, and yet also insufficient (see the FSF\'s struggle with the lack of an adjective form of \"free\" for an example).\r\n\r\nI really wish a sensible, constructed language would be adopted in English\'s place.\r\n\r\nAnyway, nice series, although your efforts are surely in vain, because English will never make sense.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

Possibly because I was a bad student at school in my teens, I have never properly understood the whole issue of grammar, parsing sentences, past participles and all of that. However, I have always had a fascination with words, their meanings and their origins, and I think it\'s English that has led to that interest.\r\n\r\nOther languages also have their problems. I learnt French at school (and did a few years as an adult too) and never got to grips with the genders of nouns. Why is a table (furniture) feminine for example? How is it possible to remember them all? I still enjoy attempting to speak French nevertheless.\r\n\r\nYou point to the deficiencies of English with regard to the meaning of \"free\". Absolutely. That\'s a shortcoming. However, many other languages have their own idiosyncrasies. I worked at a university with a campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Bahasa Melayu, the local language, has a very different grammar compared to English. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_grammar for some aspects of it. I remember having conversations with Malay speakers, suggesting a English way of expressing a thing, to be told that that was pretty much impossible in their language. This led me to believe that English might be more subtle; though perhaps on the other hand it\'s more suitable for circumlocution, evasion and indirectness!\r\n\r\nAt school my French teacher was also an advocate of Esperanto. I wonder if that sort of language was what you had in mind instead of English? I don\'t know enough about its benefits to judge, but I wonder if a constructed language can really be as rich as a \"natural\" evolved language - even with all of its clutter and detritus.\r\n\r\nThanks for your comments - they really got me thinking.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

It\'s unwise to feed a \'while\' loop thorough a pipe because the \'while\' runs\r\nin a separate shell which can lead to problems\r\n\r\n2. Never use \'ls\' to get a list of files for consumption in a script. Unless\r\nyou can be completely sure that the \'ls\' you are using isn\'t adding suffixes\r\nlike \'@\' for links, and \'/\' for directories and isn\'t adding colour codes to\r\nthe names, don\'t do it. Much better to use \'find\'.\r\n\r\nMy test with this pipeline returned colour codes which \'ffmpeg\' didn\'t like,\r\nand it failed that way.\r\n\r\nfor i in *.mp3;do ffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\" 2&gt;&amp;1;done\r\n\r\nThis doesn\'t use \'ls\' it simply uses file expansion therefore no additional\r\nfilename garbage!\r\n\r\nDid I mention: don\'t use \'ls\' as a way of feeding filenames to a loop or\r\nwhatever?\r\n\r\nThe first example would have worked if you\'d written:\r\n\r\nwhile read i;do ffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\" 2&gt;&amp;1;done &lt; &lt;(find . -maxdepth 1 -name \"*.mp3\")\r\n\r\nThe \'-maxdepth 1\' option prevents \'find\' from going into sub-directories. The\r\n\'find\' is inside a process substitution which is redirected to the \'while\' so\r\nthe \'read\' inside it can obtain what is produced on its STDIN channel.\r\n\r\nAlso, if it had been me I\'d have written:\r\n\r\nffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i}.wav\"\r\n\r\nas:\r\n\r\nffmpeg -i \"${i}\" \"${i%mp3}wav\"\r\n\r\nto avoid the output files being called \'xxx.mp3.wav\'.

I always wonder how other people make similar things I like. \r\nAs it happens, I just made crepes yesterday. \r\nI have no idea why my Texas mom started making crepes, but I just remember having them at home as a kid. \r\nI don\'t know if what I do is technically called a crepe but it\'s very crepe like, or maybe more super thin pancake like. \r\nI\'m not much of a measurer. I typically start with 1 to 1.5 cups flour and add a couple table spoons to 1/4 cup of sugar depending on the day. I also add lots of cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon to a half table spoon. Again depending on the amount of flour, the sugar and cinnamon increases. \r\nThis is basically a dessert crepe.\r\nAfter whisking the dry together with a 1/8 teaspoon of salt or or less, I add 3/4 cup of milk. If the mix isn\'t watery enough, add more milk until pretty thin. Then add an egg and beat in completely. \r\nI have a gas stove, so I put the flame on to just above as low as it can go without going out. I let that heat a stainless pan for several minutes, while putting the other things together. More flame if you know what you\'re doing. You want the pan to be the right temp before putting in the first drizzle of batter. \r\nI like to use a cake decorating bottle to put the batter in the pan. Get the bottles at Ross, a discount store, or at the dreaded Wal-Mart. You could probably enlarge the opening on one of the $.99 ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles, but they are not clear like the decorating bottles. \r\n\r\nJust before putting the batter in the pan, swirl around then end of a stick of butter just enough to wet the pan. Start at the center of the pan with a splash of batter making an ever widening circle until you cover 2/3 of the pan. If the batter is thin enough it will spread itself. Otherwise you can pick up and jostle the pan to flatten more. I generally cook until the edges curl and the top starts looking less wet, then flip and cook the other side 10-20 seconds to firm up top side.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

There is lots wrong with capitalism. First thing is that capitalists believe their system is the only answer. The hangover after our last industrial revolution gave us shorter working days, safety rules and employee rights at work. Currently there is lots of demand out there for sabbaticals or people taking a break. so hell yeah, give me a robot who does my job so I can recover from stress, spend time with my children or travel, do volunteer work. Why do we doubt Basic income? currently those breaks are only available for the rich or singles or childless. Have you seen a happy cashier? Have you heard a mine worker  shouting: yes - let\'s continue ruining my lung instead of giving me proper training so I can work in a solar panel farm. and for the doctors! I have met so many who were an utter waste of my time. yes, give me the Watson system. I had to retrain in my job 3 times over the last 6 years. it has been hard. it doesn\'t have to be! As you say, Robots give us an opportunity to focus on the things that matter in life. We dont have to run anymore all the time. Robots guarantee a basic level of productivity. We can find better and creative solutions to provide proper pay for people who work in the care. We can focus on figuring out why our society still struggles with all kinds of abuse, why we do not trust anyone, why we feel the need to destroy our beautiful world. we have a universe to explore and the complex systems in our world. and if there is the odd person not willing to work, then that\'s okay too. People have reasons! Capitalists only know the word more. When will you read all the books that keep accumulating on your bookshelf because you shouted MORE.

Tangential to the main topic, I was intrigued to learn you are paid cryptocurrency.  You did not mention which type, but given the volatility in the better known cryptocurrencies, I&rsquo;m curious how that might effect one&rsquo;s income.  I&rsquo;m sending this to your e-mail referenced on the HPR website, but I&rsquo;m also posting these questions to the show comments, so any listener who gets paid in cryptocurrency can weigh in.  I&rsquo;d rather hear from community members whom a significant portion of their income comes in the form of cryptocurrency, but maybe someone who makes extra money from a hobby or side project can contribute their tales of fortunes won and lost.  At this time, I&rsquo;m not asking for stories from miners or people who lost their stash do to alleged  malfeasance (i.e., Mt. Gox).\r\n\r\n1.  You said you were paid in cryptocurrency.  Is this in the form of you get the equivalent of X Euros (replace with relevant national currency) a week based on the current exchange rate or is it fixed at Y units of cryptocurrency?\r\n2. If the latter answer to #1, what happens if the bottom drops out of said cryptocurrency?  Are you under contract, stuck working for nothing?  I guess the corollary would be what happens when cryptocurrency goes so high the company can&rsquo;t afford to pay you?\r\n3. Has volatility in the cryptocurrency market effected your financial status.  In other words, have you ever made plans based on a sudden uptick in your cryptocurrency savings, only to have them dashed when the bubble burst?\r\n\r\nAlmost a year ago, my non-techie friends started asking me about Bitcoin.  By that time, Bitcoin was in it&rsquo;s first stages of it&rsquo;s upwards ramp.  I really hadn&rsquo;t been paying attention, but suddenly Bitcoin was all over the news as this magical money tree that no-one knew existed.  I warned my friends that I thought the bubble was speculator driven, and would burst as fast as it had inflated.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

I have not had a problem in airports, universities, hotels, conference centers, or really anywhere that I can think of.\r\n\r\nTest-drive Linux in store: I do this as a matter of habit. If I\'m in a store with computers for sale, I usually reboot at least one PC to Linux just to keep tabs on what works out of the box these days. It seems rare for UEFI of display models to be locked down, so I open the UEFI UI, disable Secure Boot, reboot to Linux, test stuff, and then re-enable Secure Boot to avoid what would be vandalism (I have no interest in giving Linux geeks a bad name - \"keep an eye on that one, he\'ll break our display models until corporate sends somebody to fix them\") \r\n\r\nI\'ve only been approached/reprimanded once for doing this. I calmly explained that I was testing Linux, which I require for work, because I was considering a purchase. The salesperson did not stand down, so I calmly rebooted and later sent an email to the store manager telling them that Linux is a real OS that real people in the area use at work, so the sales team ought to be made aware of it. I haven\'t had a problem since in that store (Warehouse Stationary in NZ, for the record). \r\n\r\nOtherwise, no one has ever bothered to approach me about it. I guess if I was nervous about it, I might try to find a sales person and explain what I needed to do, and why, and then ask if I may demonstrate the process, walking them through everything as I did it. Throwing fancy words around, like \"programmer\" and \"software developer\" and \"C++\" might help dazzl le them into submission.\r\n\r\nEither way, it\'s worth a shot.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

However, I think that can lead to a subconscious over-specification of our requirements as a way of justifying the purchase.\r\n\r\nA few years ago I had selected a very nice Sony laptop that I convinced myself was exactly what I needed to support my work. Unfortunately an unforeseen breakdown of my car meant I had to spend roughly half of my budget to get it fixed and back on the road.\r\n\r\nI still needed a new laptop but the Sony was now out of the question. I revisited my requirements and realised that many of my \"must haves\" were really \"would like to haves\". If it took a minute or two longer to rip a DVD did it really matter? If it took an extra few seconds to open a very large image-laden document was that really the end of the world?\r\n\r\nBy adopting this approach I found I was able to purchase a Dell rather than a Sony with what was left of my budget and its few relative shortcomings were almost immediately forgotten.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

While for the most part I agree with your arguments about using cross platform applications, I think the title of this comment is as valid as the title of your episode : I can run Audacity on my linux desktop, I can run firefox and freemind and Visual Studio Code. So, my question is, should we dump Windows ?\r\nAnd the answer is obviously \"no\", because both our questions are flawed. Should __I__ dump Windows ? Should __you__ dump linux desktop ? Now those are valid questions. I have personally made the choice to ban Windows from my house, because I can do everything __I__ need on a linux desktop. You said that you can\'t write documents or make presentation on Linux and that is a perfectly valid reason for __you__ to dump the linux desktop. But as a general rule, no, __we__ should not dump any desktop, be it macOS, Windows, Linux, or any of the exotic ones. As you said in this episode, it\'s all about choice.\r\n\r\nAlso, you mentioned OpenOffice in this episode. I really hope you meant LibreOffice. Because OpenOffice... well... need I say more ? By the way, LibreOffice runs on windows, mac, linux and android. Another great example of cross platform software.\r\n\r\nAnyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and even though I don\'t agree with all of them, I appreciated your point of view.\r\n','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

Not dead in the sense of no longer being developed, but the whole concept of the desktop is outmoded.  For most people, they\'re day-to-day is their personal tablet and/or smartphone.  I know many people who no longer would want a desktop or laptop.  For me, my companies computer techs have such a bad system setup that most of the rank and file will use any phone app they can get on they\'re hands on in order to avoid using the shard desktop machines our company provides. \r\n\r\nI love my personal desktop environment, and the lack of customization for windows and mac keeps me on linux.

Is the installer accessible, whcih means can a blind person like me, not visually impaired, BLIND, install it without sighted help.  Is there a hot key which starts the Orca GUI screen reader, or speakup if it is a text-based installer.\r\n\r\n2.

Given the amount of people outside the English speaking world, surely they could have took some time to check Chinese support, and Arabic, and Russian, and Greek,  etc. !\r\n\r\nThey made no bones about the fact that they are reviewing the distros from their point of view only. Moss mentions using some proprietary office suite that I\'m sure the majority of HPR listeners are not using.\r\n\r\nBut are these gentlemen even the best people to include accessibility in their reviews? I don\'t think either of them have a need of, or have any experience using accessibility tools. Would we even be able to trust their assessment given that their inability to use them could simply be down to not knowing which key to use to enable support. Would they even know to check that the speech synthesizer is legible when sped up ?\r\n\r\nI would suggest that would be better done by someone who \"will not accept any Linux distro which I cannot install alone.\"\r\n\r\nSo why don\'t you contact the lads and ask them if they would be interested in having you join the show to review a distro entirely from an accessibility point of view.\r\n\r\nIf they are not I\'m sure that there would be an audience here on HPR that would love to hear it.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

Is that what we should go back to? \r\n\r\nI don\'t condone and it isn\'t easy for a teenager to buy alcohol, drugs, or firearms here. I do believe in education for all of those things. I also know that there are always the ones that get or do these things anyway. Maybe this is where the Japan method comes in? In the past in this nation more homes have guns, and more homes had both parents, and maybe a strong family bond, and parents that enforced social norms helped? I don\'t know the answer and decades of change would be required and still not provide true proof.\r\n\r\nWhy is it that a conversation cannot be held without a person who doesn\'t like Trump, bringing him up?

This seems to make sense given that its form is very similar. Pronouncing \"folder\" as \"fodder\", even in dialect, would be very confusing, for example.\r\n\r\n- The French equivalent is \"souder\", which sounds (to my ears) like \"sooday\".\r\n\r\n- I have seen it suggested that the USA pronunciation is derived from the French.\r\n\r\nLanguage is fun!

Assume, the original track contains tones in the 10 kHz range, these become 40kHz tones in the sped up version. When playing the quick version to record them on tape, the player has to correctly reproduce those high pitched tones and the recorder has to be able to bring those to tape. Depending on the frequency response of this chain, I expect this to be the bottle neck.

I just tried it on busybox and two seems to work fine (though three does also).  The ++ form does not (as you note it would require bash) though I\'m familiar with that form, it just doesn\'t work within the constraints of busybox.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

So to say that I don\'t know what tools are available is perhaps a little unfair as I did state in the episode that I\'m limiting myself to busybox builtins.  Imposing that limitation on myself is perhaps a little silly, but, it is a fact that I would have to install _something_ to get the additional functionality you reference, and that may not always be possible or desirable in embedded applications.\r\n\r\nActually, I wrote the above so I\'ll leave it there, but I decided to double check.  I usually refer to https://busybox.net/BusyBox.html as a single page reference to the builtins and shuf isn\'t listed but /usr/bin/shuf is indeed a symlink to /bin/busybox on one of my Alpine devices, which is a little annoying.  When I work on a script like this one, I usually do it on my laptop that has all the full tools on it but I double check against the busybox page to make sure I\'m not using a command or an option to a command that busybox doesn\'t support.

The only consumer hardware I know of that supports anything close to physical write protection is the CD-ROM, and even most CD-ROM drives keep their firmware on a writable flash chip. \r\n\r\nMost of these are advanced attacks that average person will ever have to worry about, but worth keeping in mind.

And therefore, just everybody had Covid-19 damage, even in you had terminal cancer or were hospice before the entire thing started,,, they file you as a Covid-19 death.\r\n\r\nGreat Britain has recently admitted they have discovered the same thing happened over there and thus their statistics and record keeping have been skewed badly.  \r\n\r\nWe do not know for sure that 200,000 Americans have in fact died from Covid-19 this year so far.  The data on deaths recorded every year in the United States has varied so widely over the past 50 years, it\'s truthfully uncertain who many we could attribute toward Covid-19.   \r\n\r\nMore on next buffer.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

I\'ve still got the Original factory battery also.  The Dell Mini 10 is fanless and quiet.  OpenBSD doesn\'t PUSH the hardware into overheating.  I need to look into expanding my memory, if that\'s even possible on this model as it was the very first of the Dell Mini 10 series, the first year they offered the Mini 10 Inspiron.  I\'ve always been told the ram is soldered in on this model and that I was screwed but, I need to open this up and look around.

Really enjoyed your show. \r\n\r\nIf you look at the representation of the black community in the wider community of Linux/FLOSS then I think you are definitely on to something. However, there are a great number of non-white contributors to FLOSS projects all over the world - particularly on the Indian sub-continent. It would, I think, be a shame if anybody new to Linux and FLOSS felt there may be any kind of bias against, or any favour of, any racial group - not that I think you were suggesting that there is.\r\n\r\nBecause communication between contributors on projects often takes place using text-based messaging, for the most part we probably have no idea what the people we correspond with look like, or are like as people. Everyone is as good as their contributions, which is just as it should be.\r\n\r\nYou made the point that if you had not told the listeners of your racial background nobody would likely have known from your voice or accent. Absolutely right, so it\'s entirely possible that could be the case with a number of other HPR contributors.\r\n\r\nWomen, though, have far more distinctive voices so I think it\'s indisputable that of 3000+ HPR shows, the number submitted by women is pitiful. Diversity takes many forms, so I think there is at least as big an issue with gender diversity in Linux/FLOSS as there is in ethnicity.\r\n\r\nTo think in terms of a diversity \"problem\" hints at there being conscious efforts to attract or exclude certain groups. I honestly don\'t think that is the case in the Linux/FLOSS world, but there can be no doubt that broadening its appeal as widely as possible across society can only bring benefits at every level.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

There was...as you mentioned a \'Great Black Migration\' that happened in the States. It sounds as though you\'ve done quite well for yourself and you have a strong community around that cares about you getting ahead in life.  That\'s awesome and we all need something like this in our lives.\r\n\r\nThanks for sharing your back story about you and your family.  I do appreciate someone talking about something else other their newest laptop, or the latest distro of their favorite operating system.\r\n\r\nThis is a podcast and like most podcasts there\'s lots of rambling and lots of pundits.\r\n\r\nI think you are making some broad generalizations about People Of Color (POC) in America -- even though you are a member of that community.  I know you stated - this is from your experience.\r\n\r\nFor instance, you state you feel the reason that POC are not vocal in the Floss community is because they\'re somehow afraid. I don\'t believe this at all.\r\n\r\nI think many POC are unaware of many FLOSS technological tools...but so are lots of other people who are not black, brown, or women.  Being ignorant or unaware of something does NOT make you afraid !\r\n\r\nI\'m sure your family was apprehensive of being part of that Great Migration; but they did it!

(Or leave it bare if you have a hot-swap adapter) That&rsquo;s what I did with the HDD that came in my Thinkpad. When that arrived 5 years ago, I only did a short boot-up because I was curious about Windows 10. So I had my first (and for many years only) contact with that.

This means you can apply different policies on say /bin/sh depending on the chain of execution leading to it (kernel -&gt; init -&gt; getty -&gt; login -&gt; sh VS kernel -&gt; init -&gt; sshd -&gt; sh). While this is also possible in AppArmor it is quite a lot more manual work and more difficult to reason about.\r\n\r\nTOMOYO also has much nicer tools than either of the more well known MACs.

That is not the case with RMS with regards to the FSF. He will forever be associated with the free software movement and, by implication, the FSF.\r\n\r\nOn that basis engineering his resignation on the strength of his comments on social and political issues did nothing to protect the reputation of the free software movement. All it achieved was to salve the consciences of the other FSF board members. How damaged was the free software movement anyway?\r\n\r\nMost people outside the FLOSS world have never heard of RMS so his sometimes distasteful, but sometimes thought-provoking views would have no bearing on their decisions to adopt open source software.\r\n\r\nPeople in the FLOSS world know RMS for his eccentricities, along with his visionary genius. I suspect that while many publicly feign shock at his outbursts, for most it is just \"RMS being RMS\" followed by an attempt to get any images conjured up by some of his ideas out of their heads.\r\n\r\nIf the FSF fundamentally stands for anything it is freedom, so to sideline somebody for exercising their right to personal opinions and free speech seems a bit incongruous. Given that getting rid of RMS was never going to distance the FSF from him, they would have been better to have taken the view - even in the form of public statements if necessary - that other FSF board members abhor some of his views on non-technical matters but totally support his right to hold and express those views.

It\'s not cancel culture. It\'s being responsible for the ignorance he spews culture. \r\n\r\nAs for how the FSF is damaged for it, look at how many organizations have pulled their support. Nobody is bigger than an organization unless the organization allows itself to be subsumed to a cult of personality. It rarely works out well. Part of the reason that the FSF is useless is because they have allowed themselves to be so beholden to a useless repugnant toad like Stallman who pushes a majority of people away. If you want an idea to grow, it helps not to be led by somebody who intentionally spews reprehensible nonsense that pushes everybody else away. Stallman is a toxic excuse for a human being.

The free software community as it stands has good and as discussed well guarded principles with no compromise. While this is admirable it is also what is killing the movement. \r\n\r\nLike language all movements must eventually morph or evolve over time or they die off, it is completely acceptable to maintain a core set of tenets of course, but having a figurehead who uses the internet in bizarre and arcane ways makes free software like more a paranoid nest of conspiracy theorists than it does to make technological progress by freeing the user from the constraints of mega corporations. \r\n\r\nFree software is inevitably political but the mocking and jeering of people who still use proprietary software scared off companies and created the open source movement, which if anything made it easier for mega corporations to profit off of the collectivised free labour of programmers who cared enough to donate their time.\r\n\r\nTo me the free software stalwarts were the progenitors of their own worst enemy, which is open source. They allowed it to happen themselves and fostered the likes of Google and Facebook. The FSF concentrates too much on acting like a single-state communist party with it\'s attention focused on creating a cult of personality around Stallman. \r\n\r\nI agree the roots of the movement today should reflect more social needs, creating software for the good of the people even if that makes software socialist.','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

My first task was to develop a tracking system for the 10m Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope. We used Forth running on a Z-80 daughter board hosted by an Apple II. This same hardware was used to control a 24\" telescope. That system was developed by a fellow who had worked for SAO\'s Satellite Tracking Program. In fact, several other staff members at Whipple had traveled the planet installing, operating and maintaining the Baker-Nunn cameras used to photograph satellites and determine their orbital elements.\r\n\r\nThe amusing thing is that a couple of years after I graduated they replaced the Apple II with a PC and tried to reverse engineer the Forth code.

However, pwd is also very handy for scripting. Bear in mind that scripts don\'t have a prompt. ;-)\r\n\r\nPretend you are in directory A, and the script is in directory B. So in the terminal you enter B/script to run it. Now within that script, the variable $0 contains that calling string, i.e. B/script. But if you call pwd in that script, it returns A(!). So if you use ./ as path for your dump files, that means that the file will be created at your pwd.\r\n\r\nI often write quick-n-dirty scripts for one-off tasks and they tend to use relative paths for simplicity. In such cases I use the following line at the start of the script:\r\ncd \"$(dirname \"$0\")\"\r\nThis changes the script\'s current directory to where it is actually located. The quotes are there to handle spaces in path names and they are a good habit to acquire. (I\'m kind of a language purist and don\'t like filenames riddled with underscores. I find them hard to read and hard to work with.)','2025-02-24 14:50:53'),

I was pretty sure there was support for specifying page numbers in the EPUB3 standard, but I\'ve never gotten into the weeds and figured it out. For fiction it doesn\'t really matter, but as you discuss, page numbers from the physical books are still pretty important in academia where we are expected to cite our sources.

Why do we even put up with desktops and what drives Fedora to continue on with Gnome?  What are they going to get out of it?  What will IBM get out of it?
