Hi! See below when I sent the message! At the time of sending it does not appear on: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2021-05/index.html I.e. I sent it more than 15 hours ago.
Also, no fixing of the bug: https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/5625 has happened yet. And also no contact appears on pages of https://media.libreplanet.org/ (didn't check all pages, but the front page, and the https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/keynote-by-fsf-president-geoff-knauth-and-executive-director-john-sullivan/ do not have any contact to my understanding). I'm resending this email but only with the one layer of citation removed, so it contains text identical to the sent message. If it does not appear for longer, then, because it could be outside filtering, I am thinking of doing what I said I would previously (see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2021-05/msg00005.html): > > take out all the relevant messages, use my frozen lurker > > little set of scripts to convert them for web and post > > them for perusal. What worries me is: new material has been added to https://media.libreplanet.org/, but the bug has not been fixed (the same 'Video preload is set to preload="auto"' i.e. non-requested confusing auto download into browser cache still happens. I checked: traced and casted). The difference btwn the message of the hereby contained identical text (all after the first "wrote" line below), and this message, is I added these three recipients that were not recipients of that not-showing on ML web email: Michael McMahon, Greg Farough and Ian Kelling via RT. Moderation mistake, or outside filtering/cancelling or something else? Regards!

And other languages I'm at less than intermediate like C, Python, Javascript, but anything in programming is slowly starting to be more accessible to me and slowly open up. But I think other than the need for TLS-decryption in a completely libre browser, we should conclude our tangent discussions. I want to thank you, however for having informed the folks here on the list on the issue of GNU Assembly splinter group.

I have sometimes used CC BY-NC-SA (Creative Commons Non-Commercial Share-Alike, for casual readers of this list, such as from the Web), I also like the JQuery's original non-evil-use clause. None of those is really against either _real_ freedom or _good_ freedom or freedom for good which I subscribe to. So those should be alowed, in my opinion.

Pale Moon does not, or if I did see a minimal phoning back in a rare network trace, it was utterly negligeable in comparison to what Firefox does. And just think of what the world's top unofficial spying agency Schmoogle's Schmrome does... That's against freedom more than anything in any user's boxen. Apart from straight malware. The privacy features it offers?... C'mon! If you track me, what privacy do I really have left? > > > Pale Moon is a real friend in comparison, it does not > > connect to big surveilling tech...

What you > download is what you are getting, test and media. No! It's more that that! You get binary junk in your traces instead of decrypted content and you can't really tell what happened, no! Can be MiTM, or other attacks, and I've seen spoofing and things, but that would be a drift to tell, and a drift that I do not have time for. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Just: TLS-decryption is badly needed in fully libre = browser, and until it is done, Pale Moon, being = Mozilla-level libre, is a really good choice. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ---- [*] I can tell that some libre software have started to TLS-decryt connections since relatively recently. E.g. since only two or three years ago Wget honers SSLKEYLOGFILE and stores the keys it used. Also Curl, previously than Wget, probably, Curl is a real masterpiece. The Linus's Git decrypts as well. By the way, TLS decryption wasn't available in any program in the open at first. Then Wireshark's Sake Blok (if I remember his name correctly) saw how it can be done and wrote the patch for Wireshark. Tcpdump still can not decrypt SSL/TLS, but it has other advantages over the Wireshark set of programs.
