\nThings I did today:
\n\n\n
\n\nSince Reporters Without Borders started tracking their World Press Freedom Index 25 years ago, the global rating has never been lower than the 2026 score. … The United States ranks 64th out of 180 countries, a pathetic showing for a country that claims to value the First Amendment[.]
\n
I feel privileged to live in Sweden. But just like democracy, freedoms like freedom of the press are not static conditions, they’re acts. We need to exercise them.

@joesilver Hehe, I’m glad to hear that, I love rabbit holes! Okay, so, about other recs… Here are a few artists I enjoy that are computery like DJ_Dave but in different genres: Ninajirachi, Kelly Lee Owens, MASTER BOOT RECORD, and Trey Frey (start at 30:23 and give it some time).
\nAnd, based on your blog and bio, I think you might like Hundred Rabbits, two artists (rek and devine) living and working from a sailboat. Their sites are huge, so take your time exploring. Maybe start with permacomputing, Grimgrains, and Off the Grid.
