I do FOSS because I want to achieve goals such as advancement of state of the art in a discipline and this is the most efficient way to do it. I only tangentially give a fuck about commercial or government entities using it to achieve _their_ goals, and similarly they have a limited sway on my actions</p>

this one's interesting, a web server with integrated Lua, sqlite and ssl that it actually cross-platform (that is, the same exec runs on multiple platforms): https://redbean.dev Would be fun to write a fedi server in Lua, being able to make the download a single executable file that would run on linux, Mac, windows..

I care about whether my software is secure a lot more than your typical commercial software vendor does, at every stage of the lifecycle. it&#39;s just that, apparently not satisfied with just that, there&#39;s a subset of people--who you accurately say are in power--who want even more than that.</p>
