Free Software Is Under Attack! (Will You Help Defend It?)
Free software means that the users have the "FREEDOM" to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software...regardless of who they are or what their purpose for using the software might be. But their are those who want both "free software" and "open source software" to go away. But to do so, they must get rid of certain people, including Richard Stallman.
Anonymous activists that want to impose their view onto the whole world. Zealots!

Jose E. Marchesi: bugz-mode and a68-mode now in sourcehut
I have decided to start using sourcehut for a few of my projects. The first projects landing there are bugz-mode and a68-mode , two Emacs modes. The first implements a quite efficient and comfortable interface to bugzilla. The second is a programming mode for Algol 68.
Let's see how it goes!

I got an #upgrade today to #KDE 6.2. I'm always a bit wary of upgrading the desktop in the middle of the working day because the behaviour may be unpredictable because of it. However, at first glance this is looking good. A detail that I like is that you can now map the #buttons on the #pen for my #WacomTablet to #MouseButtons as well as #KeyStrokes.
