Lea 💚🧵🛠️📊🥧🇺🇦🍉<p>Just did a round of <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/donations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>donations</span></a> to the <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/FreeOpenSourceSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeOpenSourceSoftware</span></a>|s I use every day. I wish more of them made it possible to donate directly by <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/bankTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bankTransfer</span></a> ... But most go via Patreon, Paypal and the like.

fraggle<p>In 2003, a group of Swedish activists launched The Pirate Bay, a BitTorrent tracker meant to fight for free access to information. What started as a small project quickly turned into the world’s most notorious file-sharing site. Despite endless legal battles, raids, and shutdown attempts, The Pirate Bay refuses to die.
