Reason for my mom's 1-week visit to🇧🇪, you ask? Seeing her granddaughter, a🇧🇪national of two academic parents working in🇧🇪universities (not that that should mean anything).

The demand for 'others' to prove their humanity speaks about the (in)humanity of those demanding it.

The Belgian visa office in Kosovo will not even allow my mom (a teacher in her mid-60s) to apply for a visa, before - wait for it - the Federal Asylum Office in Brussels approves her file first. The feds, we are told, will take 3-4 months to review her file.

🤔 Hmm.

#OpenSource #FreeSoftware licenses aren't "permissionless".

Rather, they're all about explicitly giving permission to everyone for any purpose.

#EUOpenSource #OFE

Quick poll for all the developers out there:

Say there’s a new free and open source license (not approved by the FSF) that is essentially AGPL version 3 but with one additional clause:

“You must not use this code as part of any system designed to profile, discriminate against, or otherwise oppress people based on their race, gender, sexuality, religion, or any other protected characteristic under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

Would you consider adopting it?

#DRM is coming for your power tools. They're just sneaking it in by calling it anti-theft. Make no mistake, subscriptions and DLC are coming soon.

And yes, there's a blockchain, and police are explicitly given access to it. The police will have a permanent record of your purchases.

Hey #Emacs lovers! 💡 Did you know there’s a generated #Guix channel providing all of MELPA?
