This is depressing to think about nonfree firmware eating the world:

Uncompressed source code of Linux 5.16.7: 1.1GB

The "source" of nonfree firmware: Over 700MB and growing so it's a good percentage of the size of the ENTIRE KERNEL ITSELF.

Free firmware with actual source code? 24.5MB and not growing

Kill this bill. https://act.eff.org/action/stop-the-earn-it-act-to-save-our-privacy

If you've felt overly worried, even despair, about the state of our world, I've found contributing to #iNaturalist to be something helpful.
I started with plants, because that's what interests me the most, but I then started to document all sorts of species from around where we live, and it made me realise how many different species I had never noticed before. Kind of reassuring to see how teeming with life the city is - and you contribute data for scientists to monitor biodiversity. ✊ 💚
