Information or opinions might not be up to date.
Not satisfied with the underwhelming reactions to the
4 freedoms poster I decided to make a bigger info-graphic sparing me repetitive, redundant, re-explanations of the same old evils of
proprietary software. In theory the poster would do the job for me, listing a few types of
malware and presenting a few
Free Software competitors to replace the malicious software with. Potentially opening up a whole new path of discovery for the reader.
Unlike with the 4 freedoms poster, convincing people to help translate it was a challenge, so for some time, I provided the only translations, in languages that I personally know. Subsequently, the GNU project, published the poster and I received a previously unknown to me Spanish version that changes a few things ( including a few design decisions ), but is generally very good, I think.
Links
Sources containing my original English, Hebrew and Russian posters and containing a Telugu ( Indian Language ) version which I made with a help of online translators, about which I am not very proud. But we had a person at work who can only read Telugu so I thought I had to make a version for this person.
GNU Project Publication containing a version with some type fixes and containing the Spanish version that I talked about.
Free Competitors
The poster's last section with software replacements inspired me to start developing a website where you could use like a search engine that will find you software that does the same job, which is Free.

I would say that
Babylon, the 2022 film directed by
Damien Chazelle is Damien Chazelle's 1941. I wrote an article describing how
1941 is the ultimate Steven Spielberg movie and how there is a certain type of over the top insanity you can expect from a good filmmaker going completely unhinged. 1941 wasn't received well. People in the cinema were reportedly closing their ears from the shier amount of loud explosions that happened in the movie.
Babylon is the lowest rated movie from Damien Chazelle. But it doesn't mean that the movie is dull, or badly made. Both 1941 and
Babylon are explosive insanity-fests showcasing the ability of a good director to maintain focus in an absolute chaos. Both films are incredibly well directed. There are complex shots and interesting cuts all through out. But perhaps they had injected so much energy into the movies that the movies overdosed the audience. And therefor received worse reviews.

As I said previously in
another article I am in a very bad position financially. To the point that back when I wrote it I believed that I might actually be dead. Later
I wrote an update that didn't work much as an update, because it was more a philosophical piece about how I want to get out my problems ( as in how do I justify trying to get out of my problems ). So I hope I will not diviate this time around from actually writing an update.
