In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:
* annas-archive.li/
* downmagaz.net/
* ebook-hunter.org/
* forcoder.net/
* freemagazines.top/
* liber3.eth.limo/
If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:
* libgen.is/
* oceanofpdf.com/
* pdfroom.com/
* pdfstop.com/
* pdfdrive.to/
* pdfmagazines.club/
* sci-hub.se/
* singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at rentry.co/megathread-books

Bummer. I've seen a few posts here and there talking about #firefish shutting down over the past few months, but now it's official.

In the light of this news, it's even more important to support other fediverse platforms and server admins and moderators.

Sorry but I found this really quite funny. It's FOSS linked to one of their own articles for "Gaming on Linux" in their text, and so just referenced my article they used as by "Liam".
That's hilarious.
Every time I see Square Enix mentioned, I immediately think "When are they going to do a remake or sequel to Einhander?"
The way they ended the game they can EASILY make a sequel.

I have created a #spotify #playlist that I would love everyone to save and support. It’s full of independent artists (mostly) I want to curate a playlist that generates actual plays and creates real fans for artists.
51 saves so far. Let’s boost those numbers 🙌🏻

Hah, if I had the time, that would definitely be interesting!
There are some pretty cool projects, as some of you have already mentioned. I'd also add bandwagon.fm, which you might be also familiar with.
Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux
Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux
I have completed an initial new port of systemd to musl. This patch set does not share much in common with the existing OpenEmbedded patchset. I wanted to make a fully updated patch series targetin…The Cat Fox Life

I would say "finally", but I've given up already.
I don't see systems booting with systemd in any near future of any dimension. Instead I now run "terribly slow" OpenRC on my systems. Poor me.
Instead I now run “terribly slow” OpenRC on my systems.
I suspect you're entirely free of init problems where you raise your fists to the heavens and ask WHAT ARE YOU DOING as if it'll tell you why systemd is on holiday now.

in reply to Jeff Cutsinger • • •AI/ML data aggregators aren't sharing their data openly or adhering to the #FOSS licenses & #TOS of data they scrape from less litigious content creators. This is a criminal act.
Copyright theft hurts independent writers, bloggers, educators & journalists more than big media groups. This insults every open-source & open-content creator. #DRM isn't the answer, and neither is paying off big media. #OpenAI and others should either pay for that data, share alike, or exclude it.
