[FoLUG] Fwd: FSFE Newsletter – June 2014

Gio 5 Giu 2014 13:52:52 CEST

Abbastanza inquietante..... davvero inquietante 

Effettivamente la
bomba Google ha spaventato tutti i Gmail users, ma in realta' nulla
vieta che il mio tiscali, come il vostro alice o altro simile, non siano
gia' talmente presi per il collo coi costi che, volenti o nolenti,
debbano, di tanto in tanto (pensiamo positivo!) lasciare aperta qualche
porta o finestra, per far entrare un qualsivoglia "benefattore" (leggi
profittatore del momento) a curiosare.... 

in fondo ho sempre trovato
strano, bizzarro o addirittura divertente, che, nel momento esatto che
io apro una mail con riferimento, che so!?!, ad un bracciale per la mia
signora.... pochi sitanti dopo mi appaiano a lato banners e altri adv su
gioielli, collier , anelli e quanto altro simile.........bah?!?! 

forse
ci siamo svegliati solo ora.... :-((( 

Buona fortuna.... 

a proposito,
signor Giovanni Google, questa mail non voleva essere cattiva contro di
lei ed i suoi collaboratori.... (non si sa mai!!) :-P

be implemented in Firefox (the part is called

it[12], and Glyn Moody criticising them by comparing

short text "The Importance of

Dutch[16] ) about the relevance

for policy makers. The text

society about "who controls

control the software we use, it

software therefore controls us."

candidates to sign the Free

April[18] and supported by many

> - Fellowship Groups: After two years as a Fellowship representative
in

Athens[19]. Furthermore we had a first Fellowship meeting in

Wiesbaden[20]. In addition, new groups are establishing regular

meetings since a while now in Zurich and Cologne.

organisation, the FSF, awarded the Respects Your Freedom

certification to the Tehnoetic TET-N150 wireless USB

RYF certification mark is awarded to products that

standards in regard to users' freedom, control over the

privacy. Visitors of FSFE's booth at FOSDEM might already

adapters, as Tiberiu C. Turbureanu sold them at our booth.

the planet aggregation[22]: Carsten Agger explains what the

the Danish referendum on the European patent court and

patent means for software patents[23].

essay about the importance of
