@Suiseiseki
I'm in a similar situation with Debian unstable, and I'm getting tired of their complacency on nonfree firmware, so I've been thinking of moving to Parabola for desktop. -

What distribution you're using? Parabola, Guix, Trisquel...? -

> The odd one out it the BSD-4 clause, which can possibly become nonfree just with standard free software development practices, as complying with the license becomes difficult or impossible if there's more than one copyright holder
It is not difficult nor impossible, rather very inconvenient if you're a commercial organization, the whole point of it is that FAGMAN will stay away from that software if they're looking for something to make malware of. You can also offer special licensing to organizations that you deem trust worthy or that will treat the general public with respect (for example Trisquel or Hyperbola projects) if they get in contact with you, by offering them a GPLed copy of that project. -

Reminder than from Debian 12 (releasing in two days) and onwards, their official install ISOs will include nonfree software by default to "ensure hardware compatibility", so that'll be extra work sanitizing installs if you wanna keep your system clean of useless and nonfree crap. Pretty sure (I hope) that Devuan team will not follow that malpractice because they're chads. -

Thunderbird, that shit can handle email and XMPP at the same time, the drawback is that it's Mozilla and nonfree. -

Which is funny considering it's a whole fucking web browser with an email client shoved into it (which is why i avoid it on top of it being nonfree, don't like wasting storage for just an email client), it should be able to handle fedi. -

Nonfree components like Linux, also it's the only email client (that isn't completely proprietary) that has implemented non-IMAP/SMTP standard email support for FAGMAN email substitutes which is questionable, specially considering the influence it has.
I can bet @Suiseiseki can further elaborate. -

Tldw: if you subscribe to their printer ink service, HP will flash another version of firmware on the printer so that aftermarket ink cartridges can never work ever again in that printer, even after the subscription expired, you can't easily rollback firmware updates.

All of these sites are maintained by barely-tech-literate people, let alone free software enjoyers, so it's unsurprising they're full of nonfree javascrap and adware.
Do you know any torrent tracker with a free frontend? -

The retards that pirate Photoshop still refuse to just switch software entirely to something free and will never learn shit about image editing, only Photoshop. Have fun in a few years when they brick all software by implementing new binary file formats and turn it into a SaaS. -

There's plenty of terrible websites that are entirely built on top of javascrap when their only purpose is to display plain text and pictures (articles), disabling javascrap on those will result in getting a blank page, which is good i guess cause you shouldn't be visiting such horrendous sites in the first place (Fandom being one example of this if not the worst). -

Reminer that Invidious and other custom free frontends work fine on shiTV web browsers. -

Not a single BSD operating system is completely free, every single one of them has nonfree blobs and unlicensed software, the only project that is making am effort to offer a fully free BSD operating system is Hyperbola and currently is still a work in progress. -

> I believe Hyperbola is currently moving away from Linux (-libre) to their own fork of openbsd kernel.
That's correct. As a matter of fact they already deblobbed the BSD kernel, they're messing around with userspace now, the release is near. -

Fun fact, Hyperbola team considers software under the unlicense to be unacceptable and are also removing any software that has it. Made me chuckle when i saw that.
