@dansup Please post pictures of the aliens you liberate.
My Neocities website (https://polarisfm.net) has 20,000 views. God damn. This doesn't include views from the hidden service or the OpenNIC domain (polaris.libre).
Programmers: "ha ha it's so good you don't need to learn anything to be a coder now you just copy and paste stuff from Stack Overflow lol. School is for nerds."
Meanwhile CPU designers are frantically trying to increase core clock speed and compiler writers are trying to develop more and more complex optimizers to handle the endless tide of shitty polynomial algorithms written in JavaScript.
@jeremiah I understand what you're saying but I'm not sure I agree. While Open Source software and Free Software usually overlap in terms of the actual software, I feel that people who promote Open Source instead of Free Software have a very different ideology. Open Source is often promoted by companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. Even though most OSS is Free, companies who promoted Open Source often erase the ethical issues surrounding software.
Just a PSA, DNSCrypt by default comes with Google and Cloudflare DNS servers. I would recommend the CryptoStorm DNSCrypt config: https://github.com/cryptostorm/cstorm_deepDNS/blob/master/dnscrypt-resolvers.csv

There's a new stable Tor release out today 🙌
Tor 0.4.1.6 backports several bugfixes to improve stability and correctness. Anyone experiencing build problems or crashes with 0.4.1.5 or reliability issues with single onion services should upgrade.

Some of the most talented programmers and dedicated libre software folks I know belong to marginalized groups. The idea that exclusion of minority groups would save the "purity" of libre software is frankly absurd.
Hello friends. I'd like to get a shoutout to a very cool Free Software project, Millfork. I've not heard anyone talk about it, I just stumbled across it on GitHub one done. It's a high-level language meant for classic 8-bit machines. More machines are being worked on, and it's a very active project. If anyone has the skillset and desire to contribute, please, give it a go!
Just to name a few machines it supports: C64, C64 with SuperCPU, Famicom/NES, BBC Micro, the Apple II line, and Atari 8-bits
