+ <div class="date"> 9th September 2016</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>En av dagens nyheter er at Aftenpostens redaktør Espen Egil Hansen
+bruker
+<a href="https://www.nrk.no/kultur/aftenposten-brukar-heile-forsida-pa-facebook-kritikk-1.13126918">forsiden
+av papiravisen på et åpent brev til Facebooks sjef Mark Zuckerberg om
+Facebooks fjerning av bilder, tekster og sider de ikke liker</a>. Det
+må være uvant for redaktøren i avisen Aftenposten å stå med lua i
+handa og håpe på å bli hørt. Spesielt siden Aftenposten har vært med
+på å gi Facebook makten de nå demonstrerer at de har. Ved å melde seg
+inn i Facebook-samfunnet har de sagt ja til bruksvilkårene og inngått
+en antagelig bindende avtale. Kanskje de skulle lest og vurdert
+vilkårene litt nærmere før de sa ja, i stedet for å klage over at
+reglende de har valgt å akseptere blir fulgt? Personlig synes jeg
+vilkårene er uakseptable og det ville ikke falle meg inn å gå inn på
+en avtale med slike vilkår. I tillegg til uakseptable vilkår er det
+mange andre grunner til å unngå Facebook. Du kan finne en solid
+gjennomgang av flere slike argumenter hos
+<a href="https://stallman.org/facebook.html">Richard Stallmans side om
+Facebook</a>.
+
+<p>Jeg håper flere norske redaktører på samme vis må stå med lua i
+hånden inntil de forstår at de selv er med på å føre samfunnet på
+ville veier ved å omfavne Facebook slik de gjør når de omtaler og
+løfter frem saker fra Facebook, og tar i bruk Facebook som
+distribusjonskanal for sine nyheter. De bidrar til
+overvåkningssamfunnet og raderer ut lesernes privatsfære når de lenker
+til Facebook på sine sider, og låser seg selv inne i en omgivelse der
+det er Facebook, og ikke redaktøren, som sitter med makta.</p>
+
+<p>Men det vil nok ta tid, i et Norge der de fleste nettredaktører
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Snurpenot_overv_kning_av_sensitiv_personinformasjon.html">deler
+sine leseres personopplysinger med utenlands etterretning</a>.</p>
+
+<p>For øvrig burde varsleren Edward Snowden få politisk asyl i
+Norge.</p>

- <div class="date"> 5th June 2016</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Many years ago, when koffice was fresh and with few users, I
-decided to test its presentation tool when making the slides for a
-talk I was giving for NUUG on Japhar, a free Java virtual machine. I
-wrote the first draft of the slides, saved the result and went to bed
-the day before I would give the talk. The next day I took a plane to
-the location where the meeting should take place, and on the plane I
-started up koffice again to polish the talk a bit, only to discover
-that kpresenter refused to load its own data file. I cursed a bit and
-started making the slides again from memory, to have something to
-present when I arrived. I tested that the saved files could be
-loaded, and the day seemed to be rescued. I continued to polish the
-slides until I suddenly discovered that the saved file could no longer
-be loaded into kpresenter. In the end I had to rewrite the slides
-three times, condensing the content until the talk became shorter and
-shorter. After the talk I was able to pinpoint the problem –
-kpresenter wrote inline images in a way itself could not understand.
-Eventually that bug was fixed and kpresenter ended up being a great
-program to make slides. The point I'm trying to make is that we
-expect a program to be able to load its own data files, and it is
-embarrassing to its developers if it can't.</p>
-
-<p>Did you ever experience a program failing to load its own data
-files from the desktop file browser? It is not a uncommon problem. A
-while back I discovered that the screencast recorder
-gtk-recordmydesktop would save an Ogg Theora video file the KDE file
-browser would refuse to open. No video player claimed to understand
-such file. I tracked down the cause being <tt>file --mime-type</tt>
-returning the application/ogg MIME type, which no video player I had
-installed listed as a MIME type they would understand. I asked for
-<a href="http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=382">file to change its
-behavour</a> and use the MIME type video/ogg instead. I also asked
-several video players to add video/ogg to their desktop files, to give
-the file browser an idea what to do about Ogg Theora files. After a
-while, the desktop file browsers in Debian started to handle the
-output from gtk-recordmydesktop properly.</p>
-
-<p>But history repeats itself. A few days ago I tested the music
-system Rosegarden again, and I discovered that the KDE and xfce file
-browsers did not know what to do with the Rosegarden project files
-(*.rg). I've reported <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/825993">the
-rosegarden problem to BTS</a> and a fix is commited to git and will be
-included in the next upload. To increase the chance of me remembering
-how to fix the problem next time some program fail to load its files
-from the file browser, here are some notes on how to fix it.</p>
-
-<p>The file browsers in Debian in general operates on MIME types.
-There are two sources for the MIME type of a given file. The output from
-<tt>file --mime-type</tt> mentioned above, and the content of the
-shared MIME type registry (under /usr/share/mime/). The file MIME
-type is mapped to programs supporting the MIME type, and this
-information is collected from
-<a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/">the
-desktop files</a> available in /usr/share/applications/. If there is
-one desktop file claiming support for the MIME type of the file, it is
-activated when asking to open a given file. If there are more, one
-can normally select which one to use by right-clicking on the file and
-selecting the wanted one using 'Open with' or similar. In general
-this work well. But it depend on each program picking a good MIME
-type (preferably
-<a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml">a
-MIME type registered with IANA</a>), file and/or the shared MIME
-registry recognizing the file and the desktop file to list the MIME
-type in its list of supported MIME types.</p>
-
-<p>The <tt>/usr/share/mime/packages/rosegarden.xml</tt> entry for
-<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec">the
-Shared MIME database</a> look like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
- <mime-type type="audio/x-rosegarden">
- <sub-class-of type="application/x-gzip"/>
- <comment>Rosegarden project file</comment>
- <glob pattern="*.rg"/>
- </mime-type>
-</mime-info>
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>This states that audio/x-rosegarden is a kind of application/x-gzip
-(it is a gzipped XML file). Note, it is much better to use an
-official MIME type registered with IANA than it is to make up ones own
-unofficial ones like the x-rosegarden type used by rosegarden.</p>
-
-<p>The desktop file of the rosegarden program failed to list
-audio/x-rosegarden in its list of supported MIME types, causing the
-file browsers to have no idea what to do with *.rg files:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-% grep Mime /usr/share/applications/rosegarden.desktop
-MimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition;audio/x-rosegarden-device;audio/x-rosegarden-project;audio/x-rosegarden-template;audio/midi;
-X-KDE-NativeMimeType=audio/x-rosegarden-composition
-%
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The fix was to add "audio/x-rosegarden;" at the end of the
-MimeType= line.</p>
-
-<p>If you run into a file which fail to open the correct program when
-selected from the file browser, please check out the output from
-<tt>file --mime-type</tt> for the file, ensure the file ending and
-MIME type is registered somewhere under /usr/share/mime/ and check
-that some desktop file under /usr/share/applications/ is claiming
-support for this MIME type. If not, please report a bug to have it
-fixed. :)</p>
