I'm waiting for "Login with Facebook" buttons on healthcare.gov

Appanrently University of Alabama is forcing students to download spyware that tracks their location if they want to attend (American) football games. This is to ensure they don't leave, and if they stay at enough games long enough they get points toward tickets to championshop games.

I live in this god forsaken state, and have friends at that uni. This is beyond Orwellian.

I think I'm going to make a Pixelfed.

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).

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

Please support libre software devs, free culture artists, muisicans if you have the money. It is incredibly important for the future of our movement as a whole.

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

Free Software is seperate from the open source movement because it has principals. Open source folks argue that it "makes the software better," where Free Software recognizes the importance of giving control the user(s) of software. If that goes away, then what is the point?
