Hi all,

This was discussed on the devuan-offtopic IRC channel, so I watched the
video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECCr_KFl41E

It's Brian Kernighan discussing the formation of Unix, starting from
the back story of the creation of Bell Labs, including predecessors
CTSS and Multics, and C predecessors BCPL which was modified to become
B, and why Dennis Richie added types to B to make C.

This video really hits its stride when Kernighan discusses piping and
redirection, and the ease of creating wonderful things out of small
parts that, and Kernighan used these words, "do one thing and do it
well."

I felt like I was watching a fellow traveller who respected simplicity,
and creating powerful systems from simple tools. It was a much needed
reaffirmation for a guy who, when he's not with his Devuan buddies,
endures countless taunts for not using the pulseaudio-mandated Zoom, or
a Mac, or even Windows. They call me a tinkerer, even though my user
interface has changed not one bit in seven years (Openbox with dmenu
and UMENU2). Kind of ironic considering the changes their beloved Gnome
and KDE have put them through during that time.

This video is such a breath of fresh air in a world worshipping Gates,
Jobs and Poettering. I suggest you watch it. I think it will bring a
smile to your face.

das ganze ist doch in sich irre -unter 18 werden heute so viele frauen nicht schwanger -danach dann sind sie schon geimpft und werden vieleicht eh nicht mehr schwanger
oder müssen sich sofort nach der schwangerschaft impfen - denn die stillzeit haben sie vergessen ! oder das baby wird krank oder stirbt wie andere gestillte babies -
und wer will in so einem land dann noch kinder ?
und wieso dann noch genesene nicht -nach 180 tagen müssen sie dann ja auch dran -

BBC licence fee to be abolished in 2027 and funding frozen

@gargron @rysiek If you don't want to support BigTech, then don't use "permissive" licenses. Use AGPL. The problem is: Most people don't understand Copyright and licences. So they find their way to choosealicense.com which is curated by Microsoft Github. It prominently advertises the MIT licence with "I want it simple and permissive". This phrase sounds fair and good to most people. But permissive actually means "I permit BigTech to run their profit-driven thing with my code".

Burning a flag is practicing freedom.

Yes, this, fucking this.
