What are your feelings about Gentoo without SystemD? There is still the Intel ME problem, which is why I dream of getting a Talos Secure Workstation someday, there might be issues with the kernel itself – even limited HDCP makes me worried, and even with Wayland supports DRM now :( – but… okey, maybe Linux really is declining even in other respects, even if perhaps fairly mildly, as the 2017 article argues.

As for devices out of China, how do you feel about the Librem 5 vs Librem 5USA? Surely an open source device that can be independently audited could be safe, right?

It is a very very bad situation. I have done all I can to prevent this, but it is putting me in danger. And once you are being stalked, who wants to be your friend?

I do, certainly. I would really like to be around more people who care about these things as much as I do, or better yet, care more than I do. It is hard to stay strong against abuse when most people mind so little that they actually choose to use proprietary software for important things that have alternatives available, like image editing or communication.

If you have the brains to appreciate this, contribute to my work(btc at my site) or people like me will cease to exist, sooner rather than later.

Hmm? Which website? What is the URL?

Looking at your username… I'm guessing https://jmichaelhudson.net? I will try that one. Yes, it works.

My website, happysmash27.me, doesn't have much other than file hosting. Maybe I should add some pages and styling to it.

gentoo, talos and librem are all good paths forward I happily endorse and promote, at least they look like they are trying.

If you went to my site, did you find any ideas there you liked? Did you check out my books at leanpub? Did you tell anyone else to check it out?

If you really want to be someones friend on the internet, help them promote their work, and then we do so together, and this is how the internet is supposed to work. If you notice at my site I warn people away from things I know are dishonest and promote a ton of people who said things I like, even if it is just a twitter meme or that I would invite them to dinner.

But to just say "what you are doing is good" and then do nothing else, is pretty weak sauce. We are all divided and change happens when groups of people do things together, and ideas get linked together, not because we are all giving each other thumbs ups and then going back to our isolated existences.
