@bagder Maybe you should have used a freedom-defending license - chances are cisco wouldn't have used it in their shitware and therefore you wouldn't have received those emails.
@jas@conservancy >Ethically this doesn’t seem all that different from encouraging buying an Apple Mac apple's "macs" have digital handcuffs to prevent you from changing the bootlader software and apple doesn't really actually release the modified sources from the BSD code they copy, thus it's all proprietary.
Hopefully such router is free of digital handcuffs and it's possible for free peripheral software for the Wi-Fi card to be written, alas such hasn't been done for any 802.11ac card, let alone a 802.11ax card.
The MediaTek Filogic 820 (MT7981B) comes with 1 lane of PCIe 2.0 and I see there's an M.2 slot on the board, but I cannot tell if that's SATA or PCIe (thanks M.2).
If that slot does offer PCIe 2.0, via a physical adapter, one could just use a freedom-respecting Wi-Fi card instead - then the issue would be if the version of u-boot for it is free.
@mangeurdenuage@bonifartius That's the price of most overseas shipping if you aren't a business, as despite all the cargo space available on daily planes and huge boats, you're not getting that item on there unless you're part of an approved business.
There is pretty much nothing an individual can do outside of extreme arson to emit more than a trivial amount of CO₂, it's businesses that do the emitting.
@BanjoPartisan@JSDorn@d0c40r0 >They can track type writers too. Each mechanical letter is slightly different. Yes, they can tell if it is likely multiple letters came from the same typewriter, but typewriters don't write the typewriter serial (if any) to the paper unlike printers with tracking dots.
It's often the case that a printer serial is tied to the purchases identity via a proprietary purchase process, which doesn't happen with typewriters.
Generally paper analysis would be relied on more if printer tracking dots are not found.
>It's similar to how they can tell what gun a bullet was fired from. You cannot, as each round of high velocity lead abrades the barrel differently and tends to be severely deformed on hitting an object.
You can determine that say such bullet is a .308 one and therefore any suspects who only have .223 and .22 rifles didn't fire such bullet.
Dodgy ballistics has resulted in the imprisonment of many innocent people.
Although, if a firearm like a shotgun was used to murder someone at point-blank range, blood ends up in the barrel(s) and can be detected quite a while after unless the blood has been cleaned out.
>defending the coof vax There were many vaccines from different companies, with different formations and mRNA strands.
>They said this couldn't happen and then it turned out it did happen It didn't happen.
It turns out that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can go and integrate itself into cellular DNA, just like DNA viruses, but that has no relevance to mRNA vaccines.
The remnants of many viruses have been found in human DNA.
@Hyperhidrosis@WandererUber@mangeurdenuage There should be no taste difference between A1 and A2 milk, as I figure such a small change in the Casein would have no noticeable taste (although cows fed different food results in different tasting milk).
It appears that there is ~10mL of Casein per Liter of milk, which I figure results in trivial amounts of opoids (which explains why studies found no negative effects of drinking A1 or A2 milk).
A2 milk still contains A1 protein, although just less of it.
As far as I can tell, the A2 milk company is just peddling snakeoil, but at least the snakeoil is harmless.
@WandererUber@Hyperhidrosis@mangeurdenuage >oxy in tablet form huh? OxyContin in tablet form happens to have high bioavailability orally (60 to 87%) (oddly high, considering that Heroin is <35% and Morphine is 20–40%).
Junkies would go and actually crush the OxyContin and snort it, as ingesting opoids orally doesn't result in a rush.
>source It came to me in a dream.
>mRNA can't be converted to DNA Unless an mRNA strand has the reverse-transcription sequence, it will not generate DNA.
@tatsumoto@sally >Richard Stallman doesn't oppose the term He does in fact oppose the term - he mentions that the term to use to be neutral between open sores and freedom is "FLOSS", but he stands for freedom, not "FLOSS"; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html
>If a program is free/libre, it is also considered FOSS. "FOSS" is commonly misunderstood to mean gratis, source available software, which most free software does qualify for (although free software at a price would not).
>The client is definitely free, not proprietary. If I remember correctly, the source code release of new versions of the client has been known to take months to be published and as a result, such client is proprietary until the source code is released.
>It grants you the 4 essential freedoms. You can't use it without a server and the server code is unpublished, this in the telegram cr...app form, you don't have the 4 freedoms.
Although it does grant you the ability to get the 4 freedoms by implementing your own server and modifying the client to work with the server, which has been done.
>You're trying to invent an interpretation of the GPL It appears that the way API keys are handled may possibly not comply with the installation information requirement of the GPLv3; "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
The API key maintainers can decide to arbitrarily make the software stop executing usefully if a modification they do not like has been done (the GPLv3 does grant permission to revoke API keys if a malicious modification have been made; "Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network." but otherwise doing so isn't allowed).
>XMPP is just a worse version of Matrix. Matrix is hot garbage (all clients and servers are bloated and broken), while you can just install one of the many non-bloated free XMPP clients and access XMPP.
>You're at the mercy of whoever hosts your server. You can host your own XMPP server without killing your server unlike hosting a Matrix server.
@mangeurdenuage@Stellar@sun I like the nice touch where the GNU is getting ready to push the proprietary Linux, "Free"BSD and Debian off the cliff too while Linux-libre chills behind.
