if the goal of "free software" is to give the user control over how the software behaves then is minecraft[1] more free than, say, gcc[2]? thread locked by moderators after reaching 100 pages of intense debate

[1]: where an end-user can usually install >100 mods with a lot changing the game in nontrivial ways reasonably trivially without major conflicts
[2]: where combining multiple features from different forks requires lengthy conflict resolution usually dependent on deep knowledge of the systems being modified

so hrtcafe.net went down due to a coordinated terf/far-right action.

and so this is as good a time as it gets to make even more mirrors of https://git.gay/hrt/pages/ (or the github repo this is a mirror of already, if you want to touch github).

clone it, set a cronjob to do a pull every week. set up a web view like https://hrt.soap.systems if you have the means to do so and the willingness to deal with potential terf interference.

trying to shut down online resources hosted by annoyed transfems, that’s totally going to work and have the intended effect, right?

edit: people are asking if I know what actually happened, what kind of attack it was and such.

I didn’t see a lot of confirmed info about it (and didn’t really look too hard either), but judging by what I’ve read so far, I’m assuming a combination of doxxing, pestering the hosting and threatening legal harassment.

supposedly the person who hosted it took it down themselves to get the heat off of them - and I can’t blame them, that’s reasonable, no one doing this should ever feel expected to stand up to being personally targeted. that’s what we have a community for. they can back off to ensure their own safety, while we deploy a hundred more mirrors.

@d1 @tinker @signalapp If #SailfishOS cannot run flatpaks, appimages, debs, or rpms, comes with a proprietary closed source UI and components, uses the Android kernel instead of mainline Linux, it's simply diverged so much from traditional desktop Linux that I'd not consider it "Linux" any more, just like Android.

media reporting on the android situation like "google is working to combat malware, however power users have expressed their concerns"

as if this was legitimate on google's part and the only people that should be concerned are the two weirdos in the back installing WhatsApp Spiderman Modded APK

The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.

If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.

https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.

We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.

Thank you for your support!
