In all honesty it's probably cheaper just to pay the 1EUR to Posteo or just
use a gratis service. Privacy is important but it doesn't mean you should
dismiss all services. For example when setting up your server you will need
to be knowledgeable about how to secure your server (firewall for
I'm a little paranoid too. :) Do you know any resources on the cost/time it
takes to set up and run a mail server?
Thanks for sharing this. Is there anything in the talk that would be new to
someone familiar with the work of RMS and the FSF? Or are you sharing it as
something we can show people new to the subject?
Richard Stallman interview in Zurich 9 February 2016. Audio only.

thank you so much, very interesting
I thought their English was actually pretty good. Recordings often sound
different than in reality because the microphone tends to pick up sounds that
a person listening learns to ignore. I think he was getting worked up that
the questions were asked in a way he found irritating. Although
That reminds me of the tea bag episode in the PANtalk Zurich video. RMS
wanted to clear his voice which was going down -- by drinking tea that was
supplied, under his explicit wishes I suppose. He was devastated his tea "was
ruined" because there was no tea bag in the cup and he was half an
I think the Q session was the weakest part of this talk. I think both
question and answers were bad. The last question guy even had slept during
the talk where his question was addressed...
The beginning of the whole talk was kind of boring because it's so very
familiar but I like how rms
Free as in Freedom - Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software

That's quite a strange interpretation. The fact of the matter is RMS is...
quite easy to upset. There are examples all over the place of RMS getting
angry, livid even. It never has to do with imperfect English, though. What it
always has to do with is him feeling like his activism is being
ahahah he is putting a cream on his foot while answering the questions, lol
I love the interviews of Stallman because he speaks about differents thing
not the usual pre made talks, if you have more QA of Stallman are very
welcome
thx for the links very interesting
A javascript firefox addon is mentioned. On this forum non free javascript is
sometimes mentioned. Can I get explained what it is about javascript? Is it
about source code or features? Flash is about both source code and features?
I installed the javascript firefox addon. It appears to make

Gmail has a non-JavaScript option. It's latest iteration (called Inbox) does
not. Inbox is released to a small portion of Gmail users at the moment and
will probably be the standard next decade.
I'd love to get away from both Gmail and Outlook by taking matters into my
own hands but I have

it can be downloaded and transcoded if need be.

You don't need your own web server to run email with a respect for your
privacy. I use Posteo which is 1 EUR per month but can be used with just free
software, and their servers run it too. There are gratis services such as
OpenMailbox too that are reasonably good...
The main issue with
JavaScript is a programming language, a dialect of ECMAScript. Unfortunately,
someone a long time ago decided that it would be a good idea to design a Web
browser to let websites send programs written in JavaScript, and then
automatically execute them, silently. Flash Player does the same

Alright, here's an audio-only version:

Thanks for that. The video is a hog 2.5 gigs. Saved some bandwith. Towards
the end of his speech, there was a question hour. RMS really vented off at
some of those questions claiming they were deliberately giving him not enough
time to answer or rebutt anything.
And, someone else has taken the liberty to transcode the video. He transcoded
it to m4v in Handbrake, but the Goblin Refuge re-transcoded it to VP8:

Webmail isn't a concept that needs JavaScript to work. Lots of old Webmail
systems didn't require JavaScript at all. Squirrelmail is one named example,
and I think Gmail still has a fallback version of the Webmail that doesn't
require JavaScript (though I'm not
I love Richard's videos, thanks for sharing.
I have to disagree on this one. Yes, JavaScript was a questionable decision
in some respects, there are certain advantages to having a scriptable web.
For example, webmail is extremely useful if you are using someone else's
computer (and some JavaScript webmail services are libre). The way
I don't know about anyone else, but I like seeing what questions people ask
at the end of these talks, so I tend to just skip ahead to when questions
start.
Though while I was skipping ahead, I did hear a joke in the "St. IGNUcious"
routine that I haven't heard before. The joke was that
I think this is the first VP9 video I've watched, and my God, this is
completely unwatchable. The amount of time I have to wait for the video to
decode when I try to skip ahead to a later part of the video is ridiculous; I
didn't have the patience to wait it out, but it seems like I'd have
It's not a conversion; the audio is Vorbis, so you can use a tool like
Transmageddon to repackage just the audio without the video in an Ogg file.
Just choose "Audio passthrough" and "No video". It takes just a few seconds,
though downloading the video so you can do that in the first place

As for the problems created by non-free JavaScript, I have a feeling that: If
JavaScript is considered dead or a *total* trap, we might as well end up in a
more tight spot because there'll be probably more services as software
substitutes.
I'm not sure of how right I'm in this statement,
