It is kind-of past time I took the kids to the holocaust memorial. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Gave up on IRC for the night; started watching a nice 1983 #scifi adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' novel, "It Can't Happen Here", with my elder son....

#ActivityPub dev calls me "tonedeaf" when I ask if #Mastodon's scoping or takedowns amount to #DRM, then goes on to refer to relatively trivial crap like "people on the Internet retelling stories that someone wishes he could just un-post" as "#nazis burning people".

@fsf in case anyone wants both "The Right to Read" *and* "Lending: a Solved Problem" in a single easy-printing fold-once #IDAD pamphlet, I made a nice preformatted PDF for that too: https://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/idad-2019_pamphlet.pdf
(and you can even change which article is in front by just by folding it in the other direction! ☺)

@fsf I converted "The Right to Read" and "Lending: a Solved Problem" into nice fold-in-half pamphlets (preformatted for super-easy printing on 2-sided US Letter sized paper), in case anyone's looking for material to hand out for #IDAD:

Actually, trying to clarify a potential misinterpretation may have opened up another.
To be clear: I continue to support the FSF, and I respect the opinions of the GNU maintainers who signed the statement. And to those who support rms: please note that he has called for people to support the FSF as well.

I'm deeply disturbed and disappointed by the hatred, bigotry, and tribalism I've observed from certain groups over the past number of weeks. The free software community should know better than most that people have differences in opinion---we fight for freedoms many people don't even see as something worth fighting for. Every day is a brutal, uphill struggle against force…

@boneidol at least that used to be the kind of person I was. Looking back on the last few years, at some point I became kind of #chickenshit. Pretty sure I remember when, actually. Need to more intentfully pursue full remedy of that situation, from here on in....
-
@boneidol the same sort of worldview was what led me to grow out a #beard at the end of 2001: I was afraid of prejudices I saw developing here in the #USA at that time....
