Just a PSA, DNSCrypt by default comes with Google and Cloudflare DNS servers. I would recommend the CryptoStorm DNSCrypt config: github.com/cryptostorm/cstorm_

Wait, Mastodon supports audio only posts now, right? And you can also subscribe to a Mastodon account through RSS, right? 🙂 Would that be a valid podcast you could add to a podcast client? 🤔😊

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?

My primarly fear with people calling for rexamination of the values of the Free Software movement is that it will be gutted. It's a truly frightening prospect. The thing that makes Free Software different from "open source" is that it *is* radical, and there is no pretending that Free Software is not a political issue to a certain extend. "Open Source" folks seem to sacrifice a lot for the sake of getting along with evil companies, and I really don't want that to infect libre software.

Tried explaining the problem with Google Play Services (GPSe) on the Android platform to some of my colleagues and why you should use @Tutanota instead of ProtonMail.

One of them have now converted from Gmail to Tutanota and also considers Lineage OS. Others thought it was interesting but will probably continue using stock Android and Gmail.
