Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Artix has testing iso's you can download that use xlibre by default.

And we've got the first screenshot of a Linux distro (OpenMandriva) running the Xorg fork! Plus: XLibre is coming to BSD as well. More from The Lunduke Journal: https://lunduke.com/
