We seem to have reached a point where the differing goals of open source proponents and free software activists—productive engineering vs. user empowerment—can no longer be reached through the same development strategy.

Additional factors fuel this split: the rise of (techno)fascism and climate change.

For #FreeSoftware hackers, the question should not be whether they’re making the popular choice, but whether what they do aligns with their values.

The only data center I support is the library!

New release of GNU Mes, one of the most important FOSS projects around (bootstrappability for your operating system!) with big speedups (funded by @nlnet / @NGIZero)! And a nice and earnest blogpost by @ekaitz_zarraga https://ekaitz.elenq.tech/fasterMes10.html

If you want to help make Fedi a better place, follow these simple steps:

1. search for a bad actor¹
2. report that bad actor²
3. repeat³

---

¹ scam/spam accounts, marketing bots, nonconsensual porn (NCII), etc.

² include a reason and relevant posts

³ even one helps, but 3-5 is better
