7. [Video] "El Movimiento del Software Libre y el Sistema Operativo GNU" by Richard M. Stallman

   The footage is a bit jittery (taken with a phone apparently, and there's no tripod available), but the sound is OK and the words (in Spanish) are comprehensible

8. Android at New Highs (47%), Windows at New Lows (24%), Suggests Latest Data From statCounter

18. [Meme] The Streisand Effect

    Trying to silence your workers isn't the best approach. It only makes colleagues even more curious.

    Microsoft has been trying to silence me using dirty tricks for nearly 20 years

21. Elon Musk Has Trashed Twitter for Ideological Reasons (and Propping Up Trump in Exchange for Financial and Political Favours Once in Public Office)

    Intel's loss isn't a loss to us
