I have added my Matrix account information here:

Libreboot – Contact the Libreboot project

I joined a Matrix chatroom earlier, and someone there then DM'd me on IRC to ensure that I am indeed the real Leah Rowe (will I stand up??) I do indeed confirm: I am @npub1uzst...gkxp:matrix.org within the Matrix network. I've added this to the Libreboot contact page. It is therefore now quite feasible to verify my identity on the Matrix nettwork. Thank you.

Step 1: say totally mundane and boring thing step 2: ? step 3: some guy on youtube rants about you for 10-20 minutes, and what he says is about 0.01% accurate, and then he asks his viewers to pay him money i recently saw this with two of my friends. same youtube guy, and he made a video about them. maybe i should say something boring too. thoughts? the guy in question is... insane. a cringe low quality rip-off of alex jones or something and he specifically covers people/orgs in open source.

i heard a sentence in german today that i understood, without having to look up any words: "dass sie lachen, das ist voellig klar" - literally translated, it is "it's obvious that they are laughing" (that they laugh, is fully clear". the speaker/context is irrelevant. i laughed too. i wrote it down and stuck it on my monitor. i'm still learning german - at unhuman speed. native germans who wish to help me practise, would be greatly appreciated. talk to me about whatever you want (in german).

This post is dedicated to a very nice organisation, that I bet you've heard of: the Internet Archive! @npub1umd6...wfr7

Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Texts, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

Want to play Sonic the Hedgehog in MAME in your browser? Or read that website from 1998 that no longer exists? Or download that file you really, really need or its ur ass but it vanished in 2005? *Internet Archive saves your bacon.* It often comes under attack, and costs a lot to run. Perhaps donate? Here:

Fun fact: did you know passports were not required for travel before WW1?

Passport - Wikipedia

During WW1, governments made them mandatory to monitor their borders more closely. After WW1, there was even talk of abolishing them! But WW2 came and afterward, they became entrenched. So next time you hear about government doing deals with each other for immigration/trade, note that they are merely giving you back a subset of freedoms that they already took away themselves. #AbolishPassports
