Quite an interesting video detailing some bits of Motif history and writing a keygen for an Yggdrasil Motif using Motif in a Motif Window Manager.
Oh, and the hardware is an authentic 386DX 33 Mhz with a whopping 5MB of RAM (yes, megabytes).

Palestinian children take part in a protest calling for a safe and dignified educational environment, instead of the tents where they attend classes. The Israeli army destroyed most of the schools in the Gaza Strip over nearly two years of war.

I'm never quite sure whether Advent should run 24 or 25 days, so if you're of the "24" persuasion, consider today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent a bonus 🙂

Today it's rss2email¹, which is I read my RSS feeds². I prefer to read my RSS via email for a number of reasons:

• I don't need to learn Yet Another Set of Keyboard Bindings because I already know my MUA's key-bindings

• I can use any standards-compliant MUA to read my RSS feeds, whether I have them delivered to my mbox file and read with mail(1), or delivered to my normal mail account and read them via mutt/neomutt/Claws/Thunderbird/whatever

• I have offline access via OfflineIMAP/mbsync and any changes (deleting entries, read-status, flagging, stars, tags, filing, etc) gets synced back up to my server, even across multiple machines

• I have all the filtering power of my MUA

• plenty of utilities also speak IMAP, so I can write scripts to (post-)process my RSS feed too

• sharing an interesting article with friends is as simple as forwarding an email

• my backup process for email also automatically backs up my RSS feeds too

• because it runs from cron(8) on a schedule I establish, I have more control of my distractions (I usually run it around 4am gathering feeds for me to read with breakfast). I found if it ran hourly or even multiple times per day, I'd get sucked into constantly checking to see if anything new/interesting had arrived

• control remains with me on my machine rather than handing my reading habits over to some 3rd party RSS reader-service

And I love RSS because it is a pull rather than a push. If I subscribe to your email newsletter, I have to trust that you'll respect my email address and not share it or lose control of it, and cutting off email subscriptions is sketchy. But with RSS? I just stop polling that feed if I'm done with it and it's gone.

Can you imagine if the billionaire tech bros were spending all their energy developing solutions to clean the planet and distribute resources better instead of incessantly enshittifying our lives and trying to devaluate labour?

What a different world that would be.
I wish them all a Ghosts-of-Christmas experience.

oh also! it excels at gluing things together or giving one thing a shape of another thing. so you can get a ton done if you decompose tricky tasks into tasks of these shapes.

Permissive licensing affirmation…

It is self-defeating to proprietize open source software given that your team will always be smaller than the global community. Taking something that dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people have worked on and effectively saying you control it is at best naive, and at worse, a jerk move, event when you have the right to.

To violate a copyleft license is an even jerkier-move because you’re admitting you’re a jerk.

Also don’t forget that most permissive licenses require you to give credit where credit is due.

Some copyleft advocates call permissive licensing, “emotional copyleft”, and maybe they’re right, but show me the numbers on how it is any less emotional or less effective at spreading free software and the software freedom behind it.

Is there progress to be made? Absolutely, but nearly every non-Windows system and appliance now runs some form of Unix-derived system.

That said, we truly want software freedom, we all have to vote with our wallets AT SCALE. Governments and big businesses need to demand transparent systems.

After all… Only proprietary software vendors want proprietary software.

Pointant une mystification de la réalité, la tribune revient sur la prétendue « censure européenne » brandie par l’administration Trump pour éviter que leurs grandes entreprises se soumettent aux règles européennes.

"Amor en números"
Ocho billones de personas
en el planeta
Y no puedo dejar de mirate...

Siete mil formas de lenguajes
en el mundo, significan nada para mi
Solo el sonido de tu voz, me habla.

Diez mil ciudades y tú eres mi hogar
Diez billones de teléfonos
Y solo tu número me importa.

Billones de personas en el mundo
...y si no estás a mi lado
me siento sola...

Porque tú eres el uno
en un millón
Mi uno en billones
El uno que llena mi infinito.

💖Christmas is now, with New Years coming soon. For some, today is a day of joy. But for so many others, it’s just a hard day. I am thinking of you.

I'm thinking of my LGBTQ+ siblings who have to hide or face rejection, gaslighting, or worse, just to make it through the day.

Also thinking of anyone who has lost a loved one recently or long ago, where a family holiday only makes that empty seat sharper. 💔

As an out Bi person and a BIPOC queer, I know my safety is a privilege many don't have. I don't have a clever system or a punchy solution for your pain today.

What I can say is this: You are seen. You are loved. You are worthy.

Choose kindness for yourself today. If you need to stay hidden, do. If you need to rage, rage. If you need a moment of quiet Emotional Coherence to anchor your center, take it.

It is absolutely ok to spend the holidays alone if it means you are safe.

My love sent to you across the whole web. I LOVE YOU. ❤️‍🔥
