My great and good friends,
Has there been work on a software license that would require
the subjects of surveillance to have access to the source code
of surveillance software? AGPL accomplishes this only when the
surveillance happens directly in a website.
It would be good for the surveillance s

I am not particularly interested in any of benign software, telemetry
software, nor surveillance software. I w
I had a computer based on ASUS KGPE-D16 that I never wound up using.
Is anyone interested in playing with it if I bring it this year?
Also, if would like to keep it? I would donate it to the right cause or
sell it at a discount.

Dear Chris,
You may have joined the wrong mailing list. We are interested in free

Dear Crista,
Let us separate two concerns: Your own freedom and your support
of others' freedom.
I suspect you can largely maintain your own software freedom at work.

Indeed, if you care that much about privacy and distrust the relevant

My great and good friends,
Every local COVID-19 testing option that I have looked at requires me
to run proprietary software if I am to take the test. Inconveniently,
the testing providers don't say this clearly, so it takes a while
to determine whether a particular provider requires me to run

Dear Pedro,
I don't just go to a local pharmacy and take the test there because
every local pharmacy I have tried requires me to run proprietary software

Dear jahoti,
Here are what I have tried so far.
Rite Aid runs proprietary software and requires a Google account.
I called and confirmed that this is the only way.

This already is my strategy, and it fails. I think the problem is

Dear Danny,
It seems you are unsure. Are you? If so, I invite you to elaborate.
Jean seems sure to me.
In case he is not, I report that I sure find the laws Jean presents
to resemble my vernacular understanding of fascism. (I am not familiar
