Libre Lounge @librelounge@floss.social

just cut the release for #fennel 0.9.0

https://fennel-lang.org/changelog#section

there's a lot of small changes included in this; nothing major but it adds up. just in time for the game jam! enjoy.

Finally listened to @librelounge interview with @mntmn about the mnt reform. Great, got me hooked! We are definitely building momentum with more open machines, and we badly need more of them for sure

The HOPE 2020 Schedule is up!

AFAIK it's free to attend, with some events (workshops) limited in live participation paying attendees who bought tickets before the pandemic, but you should be able to watch the talks at the very least.

I know there's a lot of fear from some of my friends about HOPE and it's scary image, but I encourage everyone to watch and participate.

Please, Americans, if you do nothing else today, then please take action against EARN-IT.

https://www.noearnitact.org/call/?link_id=0&can_id=bfbae84c7fa9804896ed0481e29757d7&source=email-earn-it-act-vote-this-thursday&email_referrer=email_848204&email_subject=earn-it-act-vote-this-thursday

We discussed it on the show, but it would destroy online privacy, crypto, etc. This is no joke. Please, take action TODAY as it goes up for a vote July 2nd.

If you love Free Software or Privacy, this bill has to die!

I want to do a few @librelounge episodes on gender and Free Software.

I'd love to talk to female identifying and or trans folks, especially if you're working on something cool. Please talk to me!

My Pinephone arrives today.

What are people's favorite Free Phone OS?

So far on my list to evaluate I have:

PostmarketOS
pureOS
Ubuntu Touch
Sailfish OS
Graphene OS

Does anyone have experience with these OSes or Free phones?

My day of synchronicity:

I finally open up my laptop to see how easy it would be to replace the hard drive. It wouldn't be easy. I will upgrade the RAM though, and now I know what type it is.

I read about @ehmry porting Nix to Genode.

I listened to another @librelounge with yet another amazing guest, with whom @emacsen discusses how hard it is to upgrade laptops and briefly how cool Genode is.

I was thinking that @librelounge episode No 6 might trigger that good old rougelike addiction, well here i am third day in a row spending most of my spare time letting a penguin shoot frozen bubbles at other frozen bubbles. Sure wasn't expecting that...

@librelounge @emacsen @cwebber FYI for all of the people who correctly are worried about #Zoom privacy, an awesome org has given us access to their BigBlueButton
instance and recording setup for the Summit.

It's still a bit of an experiment, and we need your support. https://flattenthecurve.tech/register

🎙️Over the last month I had the honor to be invited to two podcasts ( @librelounge in English and @lelibreauquotidien in French). I wrote a blog-post with the links to listen them here : https://www.davidrevoy.com/article771/podcasts-interviews

I wrote a little blog post on why we in the Free Software movement need to have understanding, love and outstretched arms:
