Facebook is not cool enough!

Freitag, 18.Juli 2008

Yesterday I started some search engines to find out more about a guy I read about. I opened the results in tabs and skimmed over them. And then I saw that I also followed a link to facebook and saw this:

screenshot from facebook's website saying facebook is not cool enough to support my webbrowser and that I should keep it real.

So as I am using konqueror it seems facebook really is not cool enough for me and I will not join (I always thought I will not join because of privacy reasons ;) ). Does someone know if this "coolness message" also pops up when using Microsoft Internet Explorer? ;)

Please keep it real with Free Software webbrowsers!

No citizen or company should be forced to use non-free software

Samstag, 21.Juni 2008

about: EU , non-free software , open standards

Today stumbled over an article on metamorphosis.org: "EU Competition Commissioner backs open standards in eGovernment":

Also Kroes praised the benefits of open standards: "No citizen or company should be forced or encouraged to choose a closed technology over an open one, through a government having made that choice first."

I am happy that more and more people speak out loud that nobody should be forced to use non-free software. Every person taking this position is one step more towards our goal.

Regarding Open Standards: Read more about our work on Open Standards on our website, read our definition of an Open Standards and sent us your feedback about that on discussion@fsfeurope.org.
