People: Can we do something about the Torment Nexus because that shouldn't have been built in the first place?
Tech Company: At long last, we have solved the Torment Nexus problem by creating "Torment Nexus (Made In EU)".
The platform will have stricter privacy and data protection standards than other social media platforms. When it opens to the general public, they'll need to provide photo ID to post on the platform

Libre Polygon Love 2 v2.0-preview-4 is now available!
https://codeberg.org/Jiyu/LPL2/releases/tag/2.0-preview-4
Highlights: By rewriting the Character Character, the final piece of the refactor project is now in place.
Please report any bugs and issues (It would be rather unbelievable if I rewrote an entire game engine without introducing any new bugs, right?)
she Linux on my GNU till I interject
looking at new "open source" app
ask developer if it is free as in freedom or non-free source available
they don't understand
pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is free software and what is non-free software
they laugh and say "It's open source software, sir"
git clone repo
it's non-free source available
I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact the federated universe or as I've recently taken to calling it, the Fediverse. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functional federated network made useful many other instances, such as Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma and Peertube compromising a full federated social network as defined by the ActivityPub protocol.
Many computer users run a modified version of a Fediverse instance every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the type of Fediverse instance which is widely used today is often called "Mastodon", and many its users are not aware that it is basically part the Fediverse, developed by many other projects.
There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Mastodon is only a single type of Fediverse instance: a program in the network that operates as a single node that interoperates with all the other types of nodes that you interact with. Mastodon is an essential part of the Fediverse, but useless by itself; it can only be functional in the context of a fully federated universe. Mastodon is normally used in combination with many other instances: the whole system is basically the federated universe with Mastodon added, or the Fediverse. All the so-called "Mastodon" distributions are really distributions of platforms that interoperate with the ActivityPub protocol.
I don't want "European Alternatives" to American proprietary software.
I want free software, because it doesn't matter where in the world free software is made, because it is always ethical and has no power over its users.

The newest game is called GTA vi?
Why didn't they call it GTA emacs?
Girls be like "I can fix him" and then actually do that.
Autistic dolls? We already have Rozen Maiden.
the developers of said software should have the right to claim sovereignty over their software and revoke the malicious usersβ licenses
Proprietary software developers think that users who don't pay for their software or wish to remove anti-features from the software are "malicious".
You are supporting proprietary software.

I really hate being that person who points this out, but I do wanna say that having a whole bunch of [FLINTA* Only] workshops on the 39C3 schedule feels very much like the opposite of "All Creatures Welcome"...
