Thank you so much for your offering to help me!

I really appreciate it and,

Stay Safe!

@DatGuyChrisss
That's great!

But both Arch and Manjaro ship non-free (proprietary) blobs through the Linux kernel along with some other not-so-good things..

If you want to find a fully free (as in freedom) operating system, here's a list of ones endorsed by GNU: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

I also recommend Ipredia OS for privacy and security, which can be found here: https://ipredia.org/

Stay Safe!

@freddy @privacytools
Great job!

You'll do great ;)

@TheDoctor
Great question!

I don't have a specific project I'm looking foward to make since I honestly can't think of one yet.

But in the book I'm reading, I will make a alien invasion game, which I can count as a project and can't wait to do!

@DatGuyChrisss
Thank you so much ;)) !

Hello everyone!

I would like to say sorry for not tooting a lot lately..

That is because I have been learning a bit more Python than usual and I promise that is Not a excuse not to toot.

Python is my first programming language and I'm a slow learner.

I will still toot about privacy but not as much.. Don't worry, I will toot more when I'm better at Python and my goal is to make free software and help other's free software ;)

Please forgive me for that and,
Stay Safe!

Hello everyone!

So lately, I've been learning more about GNU and the FSF.

I recently realized that Free software and Open source are not identical values.

Below I have 3 articles that could be helpful on the point:

--
Richard Stallman's, "Why Open Source misses the point of Free Software":
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

Free software definition (GNU):
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Open source definition (OSI):
https://opensource.org/osd

@ARandomCatholic
Yah!

But the whole list of instances is here: https://instances.invidio.us/ (includes yewtube ;) )

Again, Stay Safe!

@cblte
No problem mate!

@cblte

A list of Other Invidious instances is here: https://instances.invidio.us/

Stay Safe!

@ARandomCatholic
No, no, don't worry about seeming rude ;).

That is true, I probably should name another alternative to Invidious when I find one!

@ARandomCatholic
Yeah, I'm aware of that.

Didn't I give a list of instances for Invidious?

Stay Safe!

@syntax
No problem!

@syntax
Didn't I mention it?

Is my toot a little too messy?

Stay Safe!

Hi everyone!

I highly recommend you Not to use proprietary and #privacy-intruding
social networks such as Twitter or Youtube.

But if you can't stop going there, I know some metadata, #privacy-respecting, #foss web services for accessing those non-free social networks!

Below are the redirects!

@supernova
No problem!

Interesting..
I really like that and will probably think about doing that.

Stay Safe!

@fthomaz
Thank you!

I really appreciate it

@d4m13n
Tools? Did you read that wrong? Maybe you read toots as tools ;)

I personally do not develop any apps at this moment but for sure I will one day!

Stay Safe!
