The open document format is really a zip file of XML files. You can unzip and diff that?

Maybe diffoscope (from @reproducible_builds) is able to do a diff, too?

@fraggle
No contest. Like I said, they brought it on themselves and indeed have nobody else to blame.

@solonovamax
At least IMO. Other than that, stalebots are a menace.

@solonovamax
One exception: a bot which sends a 'hey, no recent updates here, is this still an issue, if no reply is received we'll auto close in two weeks', and then respects that timeline and promise.

Because keeping stale issues open helps nobody.

@mjg59
On the one hand, one might feel sorry for them for being in this position. Personal bankruptcy is a terrible thing to go through.

On the other hand. Well they brought it on themselves now, didn't they.

@lexinova
A potential denial of service is also a security issue.

@adulau
It started in the proprietary world: if you find a bug there, the company that sells the right to use the software makes exploitation money from that, so it makes some sense there to hand some of that money out to people who help you exploit more.

Somehow that then got pulled over to open source software...🤷

@bkuhn
I was not aware. So sorry you had to go through this! And thanks for the courage to speak up.

@purpleidea
Probably has some custom NSS module?

Depending on what the issues with the audio are, cleaning up can be doable and may be surprisingly effective.

I'm still offering, but don't want to pressure you, so if you're uncomfortable sharing the recording, no worries.

@bert_hubert
I have "some" experience working with video (1). Want me to help clean it up?

(1) https://salsa.debian.org/wouter/SReview -- you might have interacted with it if you were a speaker at FOSDEM 2017 or later...

@bert_hubert
Love the transcript.

Is a recording available, too?

@bmaxv
Fair. I don't have that problem (Debian IRC is mostly on OFTC, which never encountered the freenode shitshow), but indeed libera is not as active as freenode once was.

@ravi
You're looking good!

@bmaxv
There is libera.chat which is everything freenode was, except "owned by a crazy Bitcoin person who thinks he's the Prince of Korea"

@cassidy
"I don't care, does it even matter" should be an option too 🤷

@letoams
The Exim version of that is:
- Make sure you have an ACL configured for acl_smtp_data
- In that ACL, add the following:

require message = Gmail confidential emails not accepted here
condition = ${if def:header_x-gm-locker:{no}{yes}}

it for things some people might consider evil, which might include things like the military, a tobacco company, a meat processing plant, the Walt Disney company, or, heck, those touch screen ordering booths at some fast food places.

Because if you're going to insist I must be upset about your other causes, why stop there?

That's why I don't do it, and why I say that the cause of free software, *while related* to other causes, is still not the same.

@violetmadder
In the mean time, while you go off and do all that, I'll sit here making sure you can actually do that without being spied upon, by contributing to an operating system you can trust to do what you want it to do, not what some shitty billionaire halfway across the world wants.

And I'll do it on my terms, which is that anyone can use what I produce for any purpose, because that to me is the most core of all cores to free software. And that includes you using

@violetmadder
I'm not apolitical for having different political opinions to you.

I have only so much time in a day to care, so I prioritise. If you go and organise a protest against Google and that manages to make them slightly less evil, more power to you. I might even join (if it's within my means to do so). But it's not something that keeps me up at night. It's not my priority.

I'm not saying your cause is wrong, just that there are other causes that I find more important.
