  • One of my colleagues almost got hit recently, apparently he was crossing a pedestrian crossing, a woman was speeding up. He just had time to jump to the side! The woman was accompanied by a young woman (probably the one who alerted the driver) , they stopped and asked him “are you okay?!” after the driver told him she was sorry, that she hadn’t seen him -_-…

    He told me that he had the reflex to jump, what would have happened with a child?

    The interesting side of this story is that my colleague owns an (fucking) SUV…














  • It’s a daunting battle to fight, and it’s disheartening to see that even when we try to discuss these issues, many people are quick to dismiss our concerns.

    You said it all.

    Whether we like Richard Stallman or not, we cannot deny that it started (in part) with the “I don’t care” and the denigration of free software.

    Education systems around the world have failed to promote free software as an IT basis and vigilance against proprietary software lobbies.

    My opinion is that after being conditioned by their environment most people have already given up on their privacy, so mass surveillance does not bother them that much…
