I'm currently working on the osboot/libreboot merger that I alluded to in the last Libreboot release. I'm about 40% done as I write this, and I started today!
Osboot is becoming part of Libreboot. The projects are merging and will operate as one, under current osboot policy.
Current osboot policy shall be known unofficially as:
Pragmatic System Distribution Guidelines
or just PSDG for short
new libreboot release soon
Good read if you're a fellow progressive. Don't follow the crowd.

Don't ever forget that the #EuropeanUnion supported the illegal 2019 Coup in #Bolivia - Democracy only matters when it suits us...
RT @MarkWeisbrot: This is the result of a 2019 military coup backed by the US gov't and Bolivian white supremacists, that overthrew the democratically elected government of Evo Morales. With decisive help from Luis Almagro, still Secretary General of the OAS.

I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.
They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.
Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.

An estimated 13 per cent of fruits and vegetables grown in Canada go unharvested or are discarded, according to a federal government report. Many farmers say they can't afford to harvest, box and transport wasted produce to food-insecure Canadians for free.
