You presumably put out this blog post https://opensource.org/blog/announcing-the-new-directors-of-osi-board which clearly suggests that 2 candidates declined to sign and now you say there was something different about what they signed, but what? You threw away my ballot and presumably many others and you aren't being straight about the reason. No, I think we need someone besides the OSI to collect the votes, because this is bullshit.

@amszmidt yw. I usually log in here like once a month, glad I happened to be looking.

@amszmidt it is done. you should have an email with list admin login.

@amszmidt no, there is no need.

@amszmidt Do you really want all caps?

@amszmidt And what is list number 2?

@amszmidt No project needed.

@amszmidt But I could just create the lists right now, no nits, and so what if you are not using the project hosting part.

@amszmidt What is lispm? Something free? Sounds like nongnu.org would work well.

@amszmidt what kind of topic?

@Suiseiseki Is there something I'm missing other than LibreJS allows free js, and noscript has a default allowlist?

@Suiseiseki @joeyh Ya, it isn't perfect I should have mentioned, you should still should add something that blocks JS by default like noscript or LibreJS, and an adblocker.

@joeyh Abrowser from Trisquel is an excellent firefox derivative, and should be an example to other derivatives or even grow beyond Trisquel.

Bella. I love you, thank you. You were the best dog. https://iankelling.org/tmp/06_outside_the_glass.mp3

@fsf I don't know why, but a song comes to mind: Life ain't a track meet, its a marathon, fuck the cemetery that a nigga gets buried on. - Ice Cube, You can Do It

The abrowser extension "Amplifier AMP/Canonical switcher" enables me to view webpages without nonfree javascript from time to time (including today),
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amp-canonical-switcher. It is just 45 lines of code, that is cool. Reader mode in abrowser helps more often. Info about abrowser: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/abrowser-help . To understand the issue, see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html

Happy 2024! I hope you find joy every day of it.

This recent blog "Free software in education and free software education" https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/free-software-in-education-and-free-software-education, shows how FSF is doing much needed work to advocate for free software in schools. Please chip in so that work can continue. Right now, about $91,000 is needed for the fall fundraising goal. https://donate.fsf.org

Many kids in the US (including mine) are required to carry chromebooks to and from school and every class, which do not have the ability install software or share most educational materials they receive (even with their parents). This is a dystopia. We need learning in freedom, and software freedom is the base requirement. Donate to FSF https://donate.fsf.org #learnlibre #EndDRM
