>The modern web really is an hellscape of lazily engineering and often
user-abusing Javascript.
Oh, yes, I can't stand the modern web. Funny enough you can run some modern
websites without Javascript like old.reddit.com or m.facebook.com.
>Given your knowledge of hardware, I assume you know about Libreboot. Is this
what you mean by "flash" Coreboot without blobs?
Well, libreboot is like a pre-compiled coreboot without binary blobs. Instead
of using libreboot directly, I plan on compiling coreboot without blobs
because coreboot is more up to date. I think you can compile coreboot without
any voodoo magic black boxes.
>Pidgin. Convincing your family and friends to switch to a free code chat
service like Wire or Signal is better for *their* software freedom and
privacy, but we all know what a struggle that is
Yeah though if they play fallout, they might like Finch. Just run that in
Cool Retro Term and it looks like they're using a fallout terminal. I also
think mumble might be convincing because it performs very well with shiternet
like people throttled down to ISDN speeds on their phones. Discord only got
big because open feint (Discord at that time) bribed youtubers saying it's
immune to DDOS of which open feint's founder got in trouble with his previous
business venture for privacy violations. But the only issue in setting up a
mumble server today is boomers come in and say "hey, can you join my discord
server" and I'd be like "It's not 'your' server, if it was your server, the
server would be located in your house"
>One downside of Pidgin though, is that development hasn't been as active for
about 5 years
What features does it really need? It has plugins and libpurple.
>Welcome to the free world!
Thanks, I feel liberated in more ways than one.
