BTW, I've always disliked #Fugazi & didn't realize the guy from #Minor_Threat founded #Fugazi until now. I know less than I thought,it seems

Bradley M. Kuhn jezra

@jezra, I had *no* idea the guys from #Minor_Threat did a side project until you said that. OTOH, are we tempting the #deletionist s?

I should note, of course, that @dbs *always* knows the name of any band I can remember, which doesn't help b/c he & I are the same age.

Bradley M. Kuhn

I read #Wikipedia pages for 1980s hardcore bands & realize: if your culture was obscure subculture,you feel *even* older when it's forgotten

#rsync 's --inplace : where've you been all my life? I should read rsync(1) more often: just the option I needed for nearly-full disks

Bradley M. Kuhn

At least 1x/week, I have an anthropomorphic thought: rerunning a command many times is boring for my computer: same instructions,over & over

@cwebber, I'm not sure we should try to correct every clueless blogger who says something asinine about the #LGPL. I say again:Eternal Sept.

Bradley M. Kuhn Ted Gould

@tedgould, man, we really do live in "Eternal September" of Free Software licensing confusions, don't we? That sounds very depressing!

Bradley M. Kuhn Ted Gould

@tedgould, how does that #LGPL fear manifest itself? What specifically are you thinking of?

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

Sorry for the incorrect assumption; I was using you as a proxy for the Javascript developres who think it can be assumed present.

Bradley M. Kuhn warp

Oh, I was actually thinking of corporate websites. It was Conservancy's bank's website that led me to start this thread, actually.

Bradley M. Kuhn warp

@warp, that part I agree w/. My usual point to them is to ask whether their website is easily usable by a blind person w/ a screen reader.

Bradley M. Kuhn x1101

@x1101, that's presumably what Jim meant, but he didn't say it that way. Still, even narrowed that way, I bet it's still false.

@fontana, and vision impaired people? They live in the past too? :) Graceful degradation was a central principle of the Open Web.

Bradley M. Kuhn

Jim #Zemlin just said that #Twitter open sources all of the technology that runs #Twitter. I don't think think that's accurate.

Bradley M. Kuhn

What the hell happened to "graceful degradation"? Most websites are nearly unusable without #Javascript now. What gives?

Bradley M. Kuhn x1101

No, @x1101. To be frank about it, #Conservancy had a budget deficit this year & easiest thing cut was my travel budget,so I'm going to fewer

2 !Conservancy projects have conferences this week: !Samba 's Samba XP & !Boost's C++ Now. I'm sorry that I won't be at either of them. :(

@quiliro, I'm still not sure what your question is about the whole thing, though.
