    Bitcoin fixed the money issue to an extent, but also has led to extreme #repression.

    We cannot underestimate the attacks that various FOSS persons have endured, especially since #bitcoin's creation. It really is a #SilentWar against #computing. Removal of #DVDDrives a part of it in our view.

    Corporate state race to fight FOSS hard. In #Australia our NBN is now VDSL2 (sans any FOSS drivers!).

    No #RMS denegration, pls.

  2. Over past several months we've realised that the whole notion of #computing and managing your own data is under threat.

    The loss of the #DVDDrives in computers…

    The #CloudFlare-will-run-#webBrowser-in-#theCloud-and-give-you-a-remote-view-of-what-it-might-see problem.

    The wholesale takeover of #cloudStorage

    Its **our collective duty** to stop it, and to help other to end the trend, by demanding better.

    Educate. #Educate. Educate.

    Don't let them break computing because #bitcoinWar.

    This! ^^^ and #waterproofing. They must shoot that #ad of people swimming and diving with their latest #shartPhone.

    Oh and which phones are getting smaller? Over past several years all the thin #phones are designed to be so large they scarcely fit in a #pocket, slip out, and break, or bend.

    We say revive #Minis. Its ironic but they had #replaceableBatteries too.

    (In a somewhat related note, we abhor the push to remove #DVD Drives from #computers.)
