I like your hospital plot. It's non-violent and would work well for an animated short, I think.
The hospital computer upgrade story is a public spending nightmare and perfectly illustrates the need for free software. At the risk of dragging this conversation further off-topic, thank you for bringing up some of the problems with the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Although most free software advocates are not particularly interested in diet and nutrition, we can at least agree that there is another kind of injustice going on here. These industries are woefully maligned with public health and suspiciously ignorant of the role that nutrition can play in preventing and even reversing chronic disease. I recommend anyone who isn't a fan of heart disease, cancer, etc. to visit https://nutritionfacts.org for more information -- they are a nonprofit and science-based.[^1] However, educating people on the implications of software licensing is tricky enough as it is. Personally, I found the present video a bit hard to follow -- and I already know about free software! By cramming in these additional issues with hospitals, we risk confusing viewers and making the message unclear. I don't think there's an easy way to marry the two ideas, much though I'd like to be proven otherwise. Regards, Greg. [^1]: Sadly it uses non-free JavaScript from various domains, but the site is mostly usable without it. Using NoScript I whitelist only the nutritionfacts.org domain itself which is necessary for the search feature (alternatively use "site:nutritionfacts.org" with your favourite search engine). And to avoid YouTube you can stream or download the videos using youtube-dl (https://youtube-dl.org) . _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
