An elegant X Window System for a more civilized age.

[XLibre @XLibreDev]

June 5, 2026, marks #XLibre's first anniversary. We're thrilled and will share this with you for a week. Accordingly, we released our first stable version 25.1.6. Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing its features and expressing our heartfelt thanks. Stay tuned!

[Jonathan Phebus @jphebus]

Thank you, @XLibreDev.

[XLibre @XLibreDev]

There's no value in holding back features.
There's no merit in canceling contributors.
There's no progress in removing commits.
There's no freedom in forced obsolescence.

We forked #Xorg to clean up the code, fix bugs, add new features, and release it.

We bring #X11 forward. #XLibre

We're coming out of a 15 year run of being afraid of our own shadow. It infected and paralyzed our culture, our society, our politics, our economics, and our view of technology. It's over, at least in the US. 🇺🇸

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

Build nuclear. Buy bitcoin. Create housing. Secure the border. Encourage innovation. Avoid new wars. Let people speak freely.

The blueprint is simple.

This is a public service announcement about things fascists do.

Fascists censor political speech, and insist that communications channels not controlled by government are intrinsically dangerous.

Fascists ban or heavily restrict civilian ownership of firearms.

Fascists corrupt the courts to arrest and jail their political opponents on flimsy pretexts.

Fascists make laws that discriminate in favor of races they like and against races they regard as enemies.

Fascists exalt unspoiled nature over mere degraded humanity.

Fascists attempt to replace all other forms of religion with synthetic cults that are thinly veiled worship of the state.

Fascists co-opt corporations and the wealthy, promising them immunity from consequences if they assist in the repression of dissent.

Fascists constantly attack their opponents by accusing them of aiming to do all the repressive things fascists themselves do.

It's 2024 in America. Can you spot the fascists?

The real tax is society forcing otherwise productive people to pay attention to politics.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Today’s authoritarianism knows no boundaries. London’s Metropolitan Police Chief just told the world that he will be coming after anyone who violates British social media censorship rules with international extradition requests – to include American citizens. Simultaneously, the EU’s Censorship “Kommisar” Thierry Breton just told Elon Musk he can’t allow EU citizens to witness tonight’s interview with President Trump.

The elites who want to decide what is permissible to read and watch justify their censorship by labeling dissenting opinions as “misinformation,” “hate speech,” “far right,” or “extremist.” During the lockdowns, MI-6 designated me and other health freedom activists as potential “terrorists.” But the label applies more closely to themselves, as they try to scare us into submission again with bird flu hoaxes, debt-fueled financial collapse, and ever more dangerous imperial wars of choice.

This is definitely a wake-up call, America. It’s time to reclaim our government. If not in America, the paragon of freedom, then where?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision.

The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.

[Robert ₿reedlove @Breedlove22]

Reality is that which can be verified.

#Bitcoin is a monetary technology built on 100% verification and 0% trust.

In this sense, Bitcoin is the most real thing humans have ever created.

@itsfoss Angband. It's a roguelike similar to NetHack, but in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. > sudo apt install angband

@icculus I use XMMS2 as server daemon and Promoe with the original XMMS skin as client. I also run the wmxmms2 dockapp in my CDE front panel to interface with XMMS2. But, Promoe is great, and it supports other Winamp skins, too.

@TechCrunch I can't wait for @Nasdaq to move their market operations to the @awscloud next year. Such vision!

WTF? @YouTube @YouTubeCreators please unban her.

[𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗔 𝗚𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗭 @Eyes_OnTheSkies]

UPDATE
I am so disgusted.
How is this acceptable..?
They will not take off the suspension.
No justification. No reason. No warnings.
No ability for me to find out why.
If they can do this to my small un-offensive channel, for no reason...

@YouTube @YouTubeCreators

@BoingBoing I would say that Colossal Cave Adventure is the most notable inductee this year, being the very first text adventure.
