What is wrong with South Africa? They are, literally, out of water. Cape Town, which will be out of drinkable water "within weeks", launches protests when Israeli's offer help.

They would, literally, rather die of lack of water than let Jews help them.

5 Hand-held Linux Computers Under $200 – Compared

http://lunduke.com/2017/12/25/5-hand-held-linux-computers-under-200-compared/

This episode of the #LundukeShow brought to you by LulzBot, PogoLinux, System76, & Nerds Like You.

Next Tuesday, I'll be doing a "2018 Predictions" episode of the #LundukeShow.

As part of that I'd love to hear what your predictions are (specifically Tech/Computing predictions -- bonus points if they have something to do with Linux or Free Software).

Reply here so I see them. Include the odds you give this prediction of coming true (so we can check at the end of the year).

Example:
"I predict, in 2018, someone will declare 2018 to be The Year of the Linux Desktop. Odds: 100%"

But Eben Moglen (the head of the SFLC) doesn't do that. Instead he takes pot shots at Conservancy and demands that Conservancy (and "all the organizations and individuals involved") never speak badly ("non-disparagement") about SFLC ever again.

LAME.

The "Software Freedom Law Center" has posted a blog post today where they propose a settlement with the Software Freedom Conservancy.

I lose an increasing amount of respect for Eben Moglen by the day.

My opinion:

The SFLC should DROP this matter entirely and apologize to Conservancy, all projects that work with Conservancy, and the greater Free Software public. That is the only right course of action for an organization that truly cares about Free Software.

Someone posted this picture of a Commodore PET. It was so beautiful I had to share.

Special thanks to nextthingco for making a cool device to hack on.

So many emails today from nerds afraid to speak their opinions -- at work and online.

These people deserve a voice.
