I guess we're trying to make it so that, like the car industry, domestic companies only make super expensive products at high margins, and the only affordable products come from China, which we will tariff to oblivion, leaving the populace with no options.

    On an unrelated note: There is a donate link, and I'd like to donate, with paypal one last time before closing my PP account. But the link is broken. If it can be fixed, I'll drop some money in the pot for future expenses.

    We're having an event for Software Freedom Day. It is a world-wide event, and we are having one right here at Montclair State University in New Jersey.

    September 20th, 2025 from 11am-4pm

    We'll have talks about what free software is, and why it's important for everyone. What kind of software is available for your existing computer, and how you can use Free Software to use your computer past the date that the manufacturer wants to keep updating it. There will be a talk on self hosting, so that you can run services that reduce or replace your reliance on outside big tech companies, and keep better control of your data. Talks about Wikipedia and Open Source are proposed. There will also be a talk on Social Networking with free software called "Mastodon and the Fediverse" that will show how you can network with people without giving your data to big tech, and without the algorithms that don't work in your best interest.

    Here a link for more information:

    We'll be happy to discuss any details.
