More people should realise how important #softwarefreedom is. I heard that #iPad don't have #calculator app. I was shocked.
Many people complaint about #bloatware when they bought new #androidphone.
These kind of things were everywhere—unfortunately, not many people realise this.

RT @fsfe: Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! 🎉

We celebrated this day with the #FreeSoftware community with the world premiere of the animated movie 'Ada & #Zangemann'!

Just realized that it's #AdaLovelaceDay, so I thought I'd put out this link

She developed systems for cannons, magazine distribution, or banking transactions. She also claimed credit for the world’s first computerized airline reservations system.

Je découvre que c'est le #AdaLovelaceDay.
Bon, elle était sûrement géniale, Ada.
Mais à quel moment les gens vont comprendre qu'on en a raz la casquette que dès qu'on parle de femmes en informatique on nous réponde : ah oui, Ada.
Au risque de vous perturber :
1) il y a eu plein d'autres nanas aussi géniales qu'Ada en informatique. Il y en a encore des vivantes, même. Cherchez un peu.

Apparently its #AdaLovelaceDay and so I will share a truly bizarre story. My partner worked for a while at a Children's #science center, Which only kind of taught kinds science, and most people viewed it as a place to dump their kids in spit of that being prohibited. It didn't stop them from trying or ignoring their kids while they were there.
Anyway, It was Halloween and staff were allowed to dress up like their favorite scientist. She decided to go as #AdaLovelace . Her boss asked her who she was supposed to be and she told him. His response in horror was "the porn star???". A) I feel like I need to look up the porn of this person especially if she dressed like that(pretty sure he was confusing her with another porn star), and B)Its really nice to learn what your coworkers think of you that you are the kind of person to dress up like a porn star around small children.

aprovecho que es el #AdaLovelaceDay para recomendar este genial libro, de la gran Sydney Padua, de cuya traducción al castellano se encargó la editorial de la UOC :-) editorialuoc.com/las-emocionan

Editorial UOCLas emocionantes aventuras de Lovelace y BabbageEn este libro Sydney Padua transforma una de las más interesantes colaboraciones científicas en una hilarante serie de aventuras del dúo más dinámico del Londres victoriano: Charles Babbage, el inventor accidental del ordenador y su cómplice, Ada, condesa de Lovelace, una peculiar protoprogramadora e hija de Lord Byron. Cuando Lovelace transcribió los planos de Babbage de una enorme máquina de calcular en 1842, añadió anotaciones tres veces más largas que el texto original. Sus notas contienen la primera aparición de la teoría general de la computación, cien años antes de que el auténtico primer ordenador se construyera. Padua nos presenta en Las emocionantes aventuras de Lovelace y Babbage una delirante realidad alternativa en la que Lovelace y Babbage sí construyen la Máquina de las Diferencias y la utilizan para probar modelos económicos, batallar contra la plaga de los errores ortográficos, explorar los salvajes reinos de las matemáticas y, desde luego, luchar contra el crimen. Condiciones recomendadas para la correcta descarga y visualización de este contenido:- Conexión de alta velocidad a Internet (WIFI, ADSL, cable (fibra), ethernet o similar)- Pantalla de 10 '
