"If winecfg is a screwdriver, winetricks is a power drill. They both have their place, but winetricks is just a much more powerful tool. Actually, it even has the ability to launch winecfg. While winecfg gives you the ability to change the settings of WINE itself, winetricks gives you the ability to modify the actual Windows layer. It allows you to install important components like .dlls and system fonts as well as giving you the capability to edit the Windows registry. It also has a task manager, an uninstall utility, and file browser. Even though winetricks can do all of this, the majority of the time, you're going to be using it to manage dlls and Windows components."

"A la Comisión Europea y los Estados miembros de la UE: Como ciudadanos de todo el mundo alarmados porque el glifosato es "probablemente cancerígeno para el ser humano", les exigimos que pongan en práctica el principio de precaución y suspendan inmediatamente la aprobación del glifosato, presente en herbicidas como el RoundUp de Monsanto. Solicitamos que incluyan los estudios del informe de la Agencia Internacional para la Investigación del Cáncer en sus actuales valoraciones de seguridad y se aseguren de que todas las revisiones sean transparentes, estén basadas en estudios independientes y sean evaluadas por investigadores independientes sin conflicto de intereses. Hasta que se pruebe que el glifosato es seguro, deben garantizar que la gente no esté expuesta a él."

" There are four billion people on the planet without PCs or access to affordable personal computers. That figure should surely be tempered with some contextualization i.e. not everybody actually wants to have an Internet connection and many traditional, native or bucolic ways of live do still exist on the planet"

"Linux has always had a reputation for being difficult to use. Consequently, when developers began improving users interfaces, they concentrated on what they imagined that new users needed. They rarely had the actual opportunity to observe new users, but the new user they imagined became a standard figure among developers, often surviving to this day."

"As smart devices advance, they deliver more detailed, actionable data, but it's doubtful whether they will actually make any significant difference in our lives."

"Data keeps debunking myths about Millennials and their music. Baby Boomers are famously self-important when it comes to the importance of their generation and the music it created. But a new study shows that the 55+ demographic actually listens to substantially less music than their 16-34 cohorts. In fact, Millennials - loosely defined as those born in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s - listen to 75.1% more music on a daily basis, according to data shared this morning with Digital Music News."

"If you actually know your stuff, you will know that a good quality harmonica is gonna cost way more than a few dollars... especially a chromatic, which is $100 or more. Even though most harmonicas have good manufacturing, proper maintenance and preventative measures are still needed. Aside from the cost of repairs, you might have difficulty finding someone skilled enough to repair your harmonica, especially if you are not good at repairing!"

Introducción al Ciberfeminismo Marisol Salanova ¿Qué vamos a ver? La ponente Apúntate a la actividad Cabecera_agenda_madrid_blog Las luchas históricas del feminismo han encontrado en la tecnología alianzas útiles para amplificar las denuncias de estereotipos femeninos sexistas, así como para coordinar estrategias y acciones por los derechos de la mujer, pero también de las identidades queer o de género indefinido. El ciberfeminismo es una forma de activismo en esa línea. En esta masterclass abordaremos algunas de las principales dinámicas del ciberfeminismo, analizando su recorrido y qué impacto tiene en el ámbito del arte actual. La actividad va dirigida a todas aquellas personas que estén interesadas en estudios de género, teoría queer, feminismos, arte y nuevas tecnologías."

"So what might a commons-based economy actually look like in its broadest dimensions, and how might we achieve it? My colleague Michel Bauwens of the P2P Foundation offers a remarkably thoughtful and detailed explanation in a just-released YouTube talk, produced by FutureSharp. It's not really a video - just Michel's voiceover and a simple schematic chart - but the 20-minute talk does a great job of sketching the big-picture strategies that must be pursued if we are going to invent a new type of post-capitalist economy."

""I discovered that Linux was actually neat-that this little Finnish graduate student with the funny name on the Minix newsgroup was on to something," he says. And for nearly 25 years, Vaughan-Nichols says, that special "something" has propelled his career."

"Have you ever wonder how everything works? From Smartphones Operating Systems to even each and every Linux Distro and every Operating System created by Microsoft and Apple. How does it play my favorite music? How does it save my files to the cloud? How does actually everything works? All this questions are answered with one big bolded and all capital "PROGRAMMING". So, you might be asking yourself, "yeah I know programming runs all but, how should I start and from where?""

So The Media, Now, request what the Internet Users have been claiming since last 90's to definitively resolve the sharing practices, while -since then- The Same Press criticized all the proposals of The Internet Community to legalize Sharing, extracting some portion of The ISP's Fees to Pay Creation...
