squeezingswirls··on Why I still use an old PowerPC Mac
> Does this mean we’ll see another PowerPC desktop computer or laptop in the future? Not likely.

This project https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/ is pretty advanced in that regard.

Yes, I'm running some apps v.g. Emacs in a Libertine container.

You can install whatever you want using Libertine http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/liberti...

That article explains why that solution it isn't possible: 'there seems to be no way to recover the devices from the boot loop using normal means – such as a USB stick, CD or network – because the crash happens too early in the boot sequence.'

For people who like Android but not how Google is handling it, https://e.foundation/ is a very interesting project.

Halium 'is the collaborative project to unify the Hardware Abstraction Layer for projects which run GNU/Linux on mobile devices with pre-installed Android' (https://halium.org/). The project to support Android apps is called Anbox but it's mostly on hold for now.

It's 'Ubuntu Touch by UBports' but people just call it 'ubports' for short.

No problem

It should be tagged 2016 but it's a good read.

Nice article but Richard Feynman won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, not 1964.

squeezingswirls··on Save .org
They've added an "About this site" page now. As I can't edit my previous comment, I'll add the link here https://savedotorg.org/index.php/about/
squeezingswirls··on Save .org
Yes, an "About Us" page should be included on that site at least.

AFAIK GDPR protects personal data only, so if the savedotorg.org registrant is an entity of any kind then it shouldn't be any problem publishing that info.

squeezingswirls··on Save .org
I fully support any campaign against the .org TLD hijacking but it would be good to know who's behind that savedotorg.org domain name. A whois search gives me 'Registrant Organization: Data Protected'.

I'd like to know to whom are we giving our email addresses, and what are they going to do with them?

squeezingswirls··on Spain jails Catalan separatist leaders, protesters take to streets
The Spanish government can't talk or agree on having an illegal election about a portion of people deciding about National sovereignty.

Article 1.2 - Spanish Constitution: 'National sovereignty is vested in the Spanish people, from whom emanate the powers of the State.'

> Succession should be a liberty afforded to all people

I think you mean 'secession'. Anyway, what would be the minimum number of people to have the right for it? A region? A city? A 'barrio'? A family? A group of friends?

squeezingswirls··on Spain jails Catalan separatist leaders, protesters take to streets
Self-determination can't be apply to a region of Spain.

'In international law, the right of self-determination that became recognized in the 1960s was interpreted as the right of all colonial territories to become independent or to adopt any other status they freely chose. Ethnic or other distinct groups within colonies did not have a right to separate themselves from the "people" of the territory as a whole.'

12 accused:

* 4 are sentenced for sedition and embezzlement

* 5 for sedition

* 3 for disobedience

Their actions have been judged under the laws of a democratic state but of course Secessionist propaganda calls it 'Fascism'.
