George Hirschboeck

George J. Hirschboeck (June 6, 1922 – June 2, 1993) was an American Maryknoll priest, missionary, and humanitarian from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He lived in Kyoto, Japan for many years and has been called a "pioneer in the ecumenical movement in Kyoto".[1]

Biography

Hirschboeck was a graduate of St. Anne's School and St. John's Cathedral High School.[2] He was ordained a priest June 11, 1949.[3]

He directed a study center in Kyoto and taught English at Kyoto University.[1][4] He was also instrumental in erecting the Church of the Holy Spirit—a building which incorporated both Easters and Western architecture and became a tourist attraction.[2]

gollark: They generally just take one outdated kernel version, patch in the code they need, ship it, and then never update it, instead of "upstreaming" the drivers so they'll be incorporated in the official Linux source code.
gollark: You know how I said that companies were obligated to release the source code to the kernel on their device? Some just blatantly ignore that (*cough*MediaTek*cough*). And when it *is* there, it's actually quite bad.
gollark: It's actually worse than *just* that though, because of course.
gollark: There are some other !!FUN!! issues here which I think organizations like the FSF have spent some time considering. Consider something like Android. Android is in fact open source, and the GPL obligates companies to release the source code to modified kernels and such; in theory, you can download the Android repos and device-specific ones, compile it, and flash it to your device. How cool and good™!Unfortunately, it doesn't actually work this way. Not only is Android a horrible multiple-tens-of-gigabytes monolith which takes ages to compile (due to the monolithic system image design), but for "security" some devices won't actually let you unlock the bootloader and flash your image.
gollark: The big one *now* is SaaS, where you don't get the software *at all* but remote access to some on their servers.
