This is one of the #freesoftware projects that's most inspiring to me at the moment and that I use every day https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/gnu-guix-1.0.0-released/

Woohoo it's happening!
Note: They are not building a reactor at this stage. They are trying out container materials, putting the salt and their half-meter-tall container inside their existing research reactor to kickstart the transmutation and fission. No cooling cycle or any of that mechanical stuff.

With a centralized system? That's no protection.
Protect yourself now, with a federated standard, Jabber/XMPP =)

I've read more lisp history than I probably need to for my talk at this point, but it's such a convenient distraction...

KDE and Slimbook Release a Laptop for KDE Fans
The KDE community is now co-producing a laptop =)
“Today KDE is proud to announce the immediate availability of the KDE Slimbook, a KDE-branded laptop that comes pre-installed with Plasma and KDE Applications (running on Linux) and is assured to work with our software as smoothly as possible. ”

Here's hoping it's free of proprietary blobs and IntelME too, though that's hard to accomplish.

I think I've easily gone without Google for more than that xD
EDIT: oh wait... I guess watching/downloading Youtube videos would make that false =)

Yeah, I've been without Google as well for a few years. If "without Google" means without a Google account, I have used Google search and YouTube, though.

You know, I don't think YouTube counts. Yes, it's owned and operated by Google and yes, they'll do as much tracking of you there as any other service, but YouTube is also an indisputably useful resource for education and empowerment.
Perhaps my phrase "going without Google" should really be "avoiding tracking silos, where practical". Which, I suppose, is really the intent.
