@weekend_editor Yes.

@neptune22222 you’d not be wrong…

@disisdeguey No, @Hoodedman is spewing fascist propaganda.

The Internet was a mistake.

Why are a bunch of Gaza beggars starting to follow me?

I will care about Gaza when my back yard is cleared from Putin.

Fuck off.

@tusharhero @sysedit Sadly the way to put images into text is not semantic, and more like HTML or Markdown / Org-Mode. Which sucks.

You have to specify an image that "is just right" for each output format.

@sysedit @fsf@hostux.social Mismanagement by the FSF for not providing adequate infrastructure for the #GNU project.

There was some vague promises to “fix” things, over the course of ten years… we was promised a new forge, new hardware, but what we got was worse; @FSF employees micromanaging the GNU project and harassing hackers. @iank

@JMarkOckerbloom @mike @acdha That is why @FSF and the GNU project exists.n

@sysedit @viz or a better example, #GNU #Lilypond.

Images in info has been a thing for some 20 years.

@bamboombibbitybop @sysedit big issue with org mode is semantics, making Org-mode unsuitable to write comprehensive manuals in, you cannot mark something as a “variable” or “key binding” in its

@eruwero Yes, which is not what you wrote about. Maybe learn to read. *plonk*

When you read documentation inside emacs, what is your prefered format?
For me it is in this order:
info, man, epub (nov.el), devdocs.

Are there any texinfo pages you don't read in info format because you need images? I think info pages don't contain images even when the source texinfo file has them (happy to be proved wrong).

Right now I am also trying to solve searching through my epub files for information. Best I've found so far was bookmarks+ and maybe citar.

#emacs #documentation

What is chaos?

How is chaos formed?

How can chaos materialize from order?

@eruwero > because it requires to also use the GPL for them

No, it doesn't. You can use any compatible license (e.g., Expat license).

And Freedom 3 isn't about what terms a work is distributed. It is about the ability to distribute .. at all.

The AGPL also doesn't say how you can run a program.

> because there [AGPL] you're required to provide the source code even if you just run the software on a server)

Not true.

@xgranade@wandering.shop

@xgranade Maybe learn to write before you start to bitch?

@xgranade > I'm pointing out that the GPL correctly recognizes that users can be subjugated when a copy is made

Users _CANNOT_ be subjugated if they use the #GNU GPL.

That is the whole point of the GPL.

@dave

@dave >MIT is the perfect FSF license, it achieves freedom zero in a way that GPL and other copyleft licenses intentionally can't.

The "MIT" license, and the GPL achieve the exact same thing when it comes to freedom zero.

But the MIT license, or rather Expat license. Is not a perfect license for what the Free software movement is trying to achieve.

It is a fundamentally weak license, and is not adequate in promoting what computers users should be able to do with their computers.

@xgranade

@xgranade > Under the GPL series of licenses, there is a freedom I do not have, namely the freedom to subjugate others.

To call an abusive action a freedom is absurd.

@dave

@xgranade > Similarly, GPLv3 adds to that that you do not have the freedom to make and sell a device that includes creative labor made with the intent of preserving and protecting freedom zero, namely the so-called "TiVo clause."

This is false.

@xgranade "makes the argument that what the FSF terms "freedom zero," the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want with your computer"

That is not what freedom zero is.
