On behalf of the SHELL Liberty Community Center in the Freecoast of New Hampshire, we would like to offer an honorary lifetime membership to our friend Ross Ulbricht as a gift for his dedication to liberty and in celebration of his freedom.

No matter where he goes in his travels (now that he is free of federal cages), we want Ross to know that he always has a home in the Free State.

What is the SHELL?

We began as a clubhouse during Covid to foster a sense of normalcy, and have since grown into a vibrant community.

We take pride in being a voice for honorable victims of the federal government, as exemplified when we hosted Julian Assange's brother and father in their efforts to free Julian. Our members have worked behind the scenes to raise awareness about Ross' case.

For example, our member Rhonda Rohrabacher ran the RFK Jr. Presidential Campaign and brought him to Porcfest, where he was first pressed about Ross Ulbricht and his stance on the case. Later, Mr. Kennedy publicly advocated for Ross’ full pardon.

Additionally, the great liberty philosopher and PorcFest organizer, Dennis Pratt, brought prominent political candidates to Porcfest 2023, including Vivek Ramaswamy. It was here that Ramaswamy first learned about Ross Ulbricht and ultimately spoke out in support of a pardon, becoming the first major GOP presidential candidate to do so.

We also introduced all political candidates to Ross' wonderful mother and champion, Lynn Ulbricht. Porcfest has long been fertile ground for the "Free Ross" movement.

One of our members and Free Ross petition signers, Brent Tweed, organized the Ron Paul 2012 victory in Maine — an act that led to a strong overreaction by the RNC and rule changes that backfired against the establishment, ironically benefitting Donald Trump's path to the 2016 GOP nomination.

This is just a small part of the dedication our SHELL members have shown in advocating for Ross, whom we believe was unjustly prosecuted through an unfair trial and prosecution.

Therefore, the SHELL Community and our members would be honored to offer Ross a membership as he transitions to back to a life of freedom. We understand that this transition will be challenging, but our members have always supported one another in difficult times. We would be privileged to extend our friendship and support to one of our heroes, Ross Ulbricht.

@souldessin @vokainen099 @xianc78 basically foss needs to rethink a lot to stay sustainable in the broader market so we aren't solely depending on the fsf as a cornerstone for our success. something else to worry about is maintaining a release schedule for updates, which (in your example) libreoffice would have to figure out on their end how to enter contracts with these businesses

@souldessin @vokainen099 @xianc78 the trick there is for those software projects to distribute physical copies so that it *does* introduce production and logistic costs. pretty much a loophole for that shitty system

NVIDIA trading like bitcoin right now. I might buy some here, but in bitcoin land I'd wait several days post-crash before buying. Falling knives and all that.

It's interesting to see the reaction specifically by NVIDIA to DeepSeek. Why? DeepSeek was trained on NVIDIA cards. Does this mean analysts are pricing in the idea that H100s is all you really need for frontier models. CapEx is done?

I don't think so. LLMs are not the end game of AI training. They're not even that good, yet.

>they can't sign contracts or draw guarantees from free software organizations.
i'm someone interested in bridging this gap, but nobody gave me enough interest to support my direction, and i never had enough money in my pocket to put toward initial funding myself.

Is there a single school, college, or university left that doesn't rely on Microsoft or Google for emails, calender, etc?

The fact this guy and Larry Ellison, who is pushing digital ID and says AI surveillance will force us all to be on our "best behavior", were platformed day 1 at the White House and the executive branch is touting their outsized role in US AI infrastructure should be major cause for concern.

When the powers that be realized that many Americans would resist a "great reset", they obviously noticed that most were expecting it from the public sector so now it's implementation is going to come from the private, likely via public-private partnership. People misunderstand the WEF and what it does IMO, but it's most obvious and overt goal as a group is facilitate digital transformation and the 4IR (ie the "great reset") via the public-private partnership model.

Public-private partnerships do not beget a true free market, they beget crony capitalism and produce state adjacent corporate monopolies and quasi-monopolies.

Yet, expect that many of those "great reset" policy agendas to be marketed as "free merket/private sector innovation." Expect some of the ind media figures who claimed to be against the "great reset" now support its very policies under different sales pitches.

Vigilance matters most when many vocal opponents to these agendas have been distracted and/or pacified.

Plandemics in the near future:

They got everything wrong for "COVID". Deliberately. And contradicting all published pandemic plans. Now they run whitewash public inquiries designed to enforce a conclusion that they should have done all the same shit harder and faster.

So the plan for 2025 is to run plandemic simulations based on the rigged public inquiry conclusions. Do you think the priority in the these simulations will be disease prevention, anti-virals, accurate statistics, honest public communication, medical freedom and individual rights?

Or like the Event 201 COVID simulation in 2019, will the priority be population control, social media messaging, hard and fast lockdowns, rushed and coerced injections, and total control of the internet?

@mario Also, if you get an Android retro console, you can play "windows games" using Winlator.

Playing games from GOG works nice, even AAA games like Skyrim
