XLibre GitHub Wiki Page Defaced by a Convicted Rapist & an Anti-Semite
Representatives of Ubuntu & GNOME recently defaced a wiki page for the XLibre fork of Xorg. One of them was convicted of "thousands of [sexual] assaults" of little kids. The other spreads blood libel about Jews.
More good news! Another government is freeing itself from tech giants and vendor lock-in. The Danish Ministry of Digitalisation is dropping Microsoft Office/365 and moving to #LibreOffice, to get back control: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/07/08/danish-ministry-switching-from-microsoft-office-365-to-libreoffice/ #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware
Trapped by your tech provider? You're not alone! 🔒
Vendor lock-in is silently costing businesses millions and limiting their digital freedom.
Most companies don't realize they're trapped until it's too late to escape without massive costs.

The Threat Beneath: Hidden In-Chip Operating Systems
Modern CPUs from Intel and AMD ship with undocumented, embedded operating systems (Intel ME, AMD PSP) that run below your OS—at ring -3—with full system access and zero user control.
What’s at risk?
Persistent backdoors, remote code execution, firmware implants
Nation-state exploitation (NSA, China’s APTs, Shadow Brokers leaks)
Hidden microcontrollers that can operate even when powered “off”

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
