dpkg – How to install Scratch 2 on Ubuntu 16.10. or 17.04 (64bit)? – Ask Ubuntu
Today my daughter asked me to install Scratch.
But not the tablet. I already did it. On the computer. I tought it was a breeze.
Actually it was as simple as “sudo apt install scratch“. Too bad I got an oldish 1.4 version and her book refers to version 2.0.
To make a long story short, they relied on the piece of rotting proprietary software known as “Adobe AIR”.
There are several guides on how to install it on Linux too, but the one I found to actually work is in a comment of

which works also on Debian.

o2 | Oxygen for your company
For those who appreciate like me the almighty P2! I’m slightly mithered discovering this:
If you’re wondering why these aren’t appearing in the WordPress.org plugin and theme repositories, it’s because these are very rough releases. We don’t suggest using o2 on a production website, unless you know what you’re doing, and you’re willing to get your hands dirty debugging, tweaking, and optimizing to your specific environment.
Is it time for open processors? [LWN.net]
The disclosure of the Meltdown and Spectrevulnerabilities has brought anew level of attention to the security bugs that can lurk at the hardwarelevel. Massive amounts of work have gone into improving the (still poor)security of our software, but all of that is in vain if the hardware givesaway the game. The CPUs that we run in our systems are highly proprietaryand have been shown to contain unpleasant surprises (the Intel managementengine, for example). It is thus natural to wonder whether it is time tomake a move to open-source hardware, much like we have done with oursoftware. Such a move may well be possible, and it would certainly offersome benefits, but it would be no panacea.
