j_koreth··on Wal-Mart Tells Workers: Don’t Download Labor Group’s Chat App
I think the commenter is complaining about the massive ecological defeating that is happening in countries that Walmart depends on for production over just complaining that production is not in America
j_koreth··on Libreboot – A free BIOS or UEFI replacement
>Yeah, it's long past time to reconsider whether GNU's ideology is actually working - if you have an organization that's dedicated to "freedom" that's firing people because they receive too much harassment, something has gone wrong.

There is no proof has been disclosed indicating the person fired was for receiving too much harrassment and with the responses of the rest of libreboot devs I don't think such a thing happened at all.

>There's the fact that GNU has never prioritized the web platform (possibly because Stallman doesn't use a web browser, and instead emails URLs to a server that replies with a lynx -dump of the page, reading the response when he checks email the next day), and so, one, there's very little support for a freedom-respecting web browser,

Besides https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ ?

> and two, there is basically no attempt at solving the JavaScript trap, on the grounds that not running JS is better. There's the complete lack of an ethos on cloud computing other than "Don't," despite the fact that GNU comes out of the university environment where all your computing was controlled by someone else, namely the university sysadmins.

Are you sure https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/ doesn't solve your needs?

j_koreth··on Breakfast in the Ruins
>he worst destruction, certainly, was inflicted between June and September of 2015 by the militants of the Islamic State, who first tortured and killed the eighty-one-year-old site director Khaled el-Assad before beheading him and hanging his body from a column. Then they set to work obliterating the ancient buildings amid accusations of paganism and idolatry.

Absolutely disgusting

j_koreth··on 22-year British student invents a mobile fridge that could save many lives
From the wikipedia link > At the 2007 TED Conference, Adam Grosser presented his research of a new, very small, "intermittent absorption" vaccine refrigeration unit for use in third world countries. The refrigerator is a small unit placed over a campfire, that can later be used to cool 15 liters of water to just above freezing for 24 hours in a 30 °C environment.

http://www.ted.com/talks/adam_grosser_and_his_sustainable_fr...

The person that from the Ted Talk linked to has a very similar device to the one shown in the BBC Article and with the exact same goal to help transport vaccines and similar through developing countries.

Congrats to the kid but something seems a bit suspicious...
