 orangeshark | https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/deprecating-support-for-the-linux-kernel/ Guix is deprecating Linux-Libre in favor of Hurd as the kernel | 03:14:48 |
 mishakmak | orangeshark: what a great April fools joke, but also that would be awesome. | 11:44:22 |
| orangeshark | mishakmak: there is people actually working on getting hurd to work on guix. It would be as simple as they describe it by switching the kernel from linux-libre to hurd | 13:32:37 |
| orangeshark | I wonder how usable is it at the moment. | 14:07:19 |
 robertobeltran | So while everyone is stressing about covid-19, the government has plenty of time for this https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/earn-it-bill-governments-not-so-secret-plan-scan-every-message-online | 16:04:13 |

| orangeshark | should we try to hold a virtual meetup? | 00:34:38 |
| orangeshark | since it is going to be awhile until we can have a meetup... | 00:35:06 |
| robertobeltran | I'm open to this, what do you envision? | 00:42:24 |
| orangeshark | well riot has audio and video support | 00:43:25 |
| orangeshark | or we can see what alternatives people are using | 00:43:49 |
| robertobeltran | pero, what activities would you want to do? or anyone else for that matter | 00:49:07 |
| orangeshark | oh hmm. Sort of normal meeting? | 00:57:02 |
| orangeshark | though I guess it does make it hard to help people | 00:57:17 |
| robertobeltran | yeah, I'm also thinking maybe it should be a little spicier to compensate. Like it would need to be at least as fun as watching a movie or something or just doing stuff by yourself online because that's the daily alternative rn for everyone | 01:08:31 |
| orangeshark | oh hmmm. How can we do that... | 01:13:20 |

oh hmmm. How can we do that... I usually have some ideas for stuff like that, but I'm totally out of my groove with everything that's going on x.x | 14:18:50 |

| jgarte | Hi everyone. I just stumbled upon this group through gitlab. This is great that there is a group like this in Miami. I am originally from Hialeah. I am particularly interested in free software, lisp family of programming languages, guix, functional programming, agda, idris, haskell, libreboot/coreboot, domain specific languages for music composition, and more. What's up with LibreMiami lately? What are you guys up to? | 02:16:38 |
| robertobeltran | Hey j, orangeshark is a schemer | 02:19:22 |
| jgarte | In reply to @orangeshark:matrix.org
or we can see what alternatives people are using https://jami.net/why-is-jami-truly-distributed/ | 02:19:52 |
| jgarte | guix package -i jami-client-gnome | 02:22:25 |
| jgarte | there's also jitsi meet that works well for group video chat | 02:23:10 |
| jgarte | The nice thing about jami is that it is P2P. It only uses a nameserver if you decide to register. You can also host your own nameserver for jami | 02:24:14 |
| jgarte | I was using wire before but I am planning to move away from it for now | 02:24:42 |
| jgarte | The server is written in Haskell: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server | 02:25:27 |
| jgarte | The android client is a scala app but it has youtube and spotify integrations and thus is not on fdroid for that reason. | 02:28:19 |
| robertobeltran | It's great to know we have so many options for doing a virtual meetup 🙂 | 02:30:47 |
| robertobeltran | The main thing I've been scratching my head over is what people might like to get out of a virtual meetup or how we can make them interesting | 02:31:28 |
