     I really feel sad that ideas which are almost commonplace in the dev'd countries & even the U.S. haven't spread well in Russia.

     @linuxaria I don't see source code for that program; it looks #nonfree. The same can be done with just, e.g., youtube-dl and avconv/ffmpeg.

     @dennisgut !coreboot currently doesn't support !ARM SoCs. But the boot firmware on these boards is usually DAS U-Boot, which is !FS already.

     @erkanyilmaz It still don't look very nice even if the numbers aren't 100% correctly. (I wonder if this is really a good place for !FLOSS.)

      @nickdaly, we've been saying all along what our plans are re: FOSDEM recordings,so I was surprised at your question;Were @kaz & I not clear?

    • Nick Daly Free Software & Culture Group , Bradley M. Kuhn

      @bkuhn I'm sure you must've been clear, I assume I haven't caught up to where you explain that part. Or I've got a mind like a sieve. :)

      @nickdaly, sorry to give you a hard time. The short answer: we are working our way through !FOSDEM recordings, so might be poor audio.

      @guido Hi Guido. According to the time of your postings you needed about 5 hours to install / configure it.

      @ungethym :) No, I got sidetracked while I was waiting. The actual work was less than 30 min. Not done with configuring though...
