   @thomzane FSF hosts some of Sugar Labs's infrastructure. This helps us focus on what we do best, developing free software for education.

   Big thanks to the @fsf tech team for their work!

     @sugar_labs @thomzane @fsf It's so sad that sugar labs are on such a censorious instance that I can't even send them a thanks message.

     Ruinous proprietary compromises is what is "FOSS" is about.
     
     Meanwhile, real free software resists such proprietary compromises.

     i'd just like to pass on my appreciation to Thom and the gang in keeping FSF up, nice article! As an aside i'm saddened to see so much cloudflare and m$haft in the FOS stack, and that amazno and fastly appear to be creeping in. heres to the resistance.

     when it comes to fediverse i hope we can get to a point where conscientious fedizens who want to contribute to the ongoing sustainability of their instance can become a #DCN (decentralised content node :derpy_tongue_poke:) for their instance. it could even have possiblities for websites like FSF now that i think about it. Imagine if i liked a page on FSF and the images for that page can also be served (with an integrity check) by me over (privacy respecting) i2p, because the page is somehow activity pub integrated.

     hmm

     enough thinking and more thanking.... thanks again fsf for being a force of things open and free.

     @fsf @thomzane

     I checked that and it is not resistance - that is a proprietary trick against resistance.
     
     The bash script is under a proprietary license - although a claim is made that the license is GPLv3-ambigious, the writer has never actually read the GPLv3, hasn't included a copy of the GPLv3 and has added many proprietary restrictions (the bash script has quite a few questionable lines and I wonder if there's something sneaky in there).
