So I have an announcement. I sent an email to my work saying that I wanted to be able to focus on my work on taking advancing the federated social web to the next level. Read: better security / abuse resistance, richer interactions, virtual worlds.

How will I be funded to do this? I don't know. I do know that the state of the political world scares me enough that I feel I have to do this. If you want to support me: https://www.patreon.com/cwebber

Wish me luck. More updates soon.

We are pleased to announce the results of the second independent security audit of the SecureDrop Workstation.

This audit was completed by Trail of Bits (https://www.trailofbits.com/) and funded by The New York Times.

I don’t think he has ever been transphobic, but I can believe the guy who made Emacs is an ableist, and no need to argue about the misogynist part

REGARDLESS, even if he was innocent of all accusations, the fact the FSF needed Stallman back is a sign they’re not actually capable of taking their own direction. Would the FSF just dissolve if he died?

If I'm writing an application for a job, and I would like to stress that I want an employer that consider me a long term investment, not just a temporary solution, how can I tactfully express that in (British) English?

we will send out 12 MNT Reforms tomorrow incl. the first 5 DIY Kits!

The Corona Pandemic has shown us the cracks in the current system. Cracks through which many are slipping.

Thank you for your time.

Super tempted to make my own minecraft. Write in the functionality of all my favorite mods from the start, make everything super detailed, exactly the way I want it. I'd probably never finish, but it could be fun. XD

@play0ad I love to play RTS with friends and family and played many hours of age of empires II before finding out about 0ad. The people behind the game impressed me tremendously. It has a very strong, active community. The game is seriously good and after a few months enjoying it, I wonder why they still call it alpha!

If you're running Arch linux and running a kernel older than 5.9 then read the news before updating --> https://archlinux.org/news/moving-to-zstandard-images-by-default-on-mkinitcpio/
