@freedosproject Are your videos available in a site that is not a commercial data collecting site that tracks us and collates our data from multiple sources and then sells us to the highest bidder without our permission? Peertube, perhaps?

@freedosproject I love FreeDOS. I have only used it for a couple of projects, but it made those easy!

In June 1994, several of us had a pretty neat idea: let's make our own version of DOS and give away the source code.
So on June 29, 1994, I announced a new project that would become FreeDOS!
If you missed it, here's an article I wrote last year for the Open Source Initiative's website about how FreeDOS started and why we celebrate everyone who contributes to open source software! 🤩

Proposing anything that feels Canadian or European—such as free healthcare and affordable housing—is “communist” here in the U.S.

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

Batteries are so cheap, solar doesn’t sleep. Thanks to plummeting prices, analysts say that solar plus batteries can now provide round-the-clock power in the sunniest parts of the world, undercutting fossil gas and reshaping grid planning. Cities like Muscat, Oman, and Las Vegas can already hit that steady power mark for up to 99% of the hours in a year, while Hyderabad, Madrid, and Buenos Aires can get 80-95% of the way there using the same setup.
