Jonathan. Frech’s WebBlog

jblog has moved. (#233)

Jonathan Frech,

Having read Free as in Freedom⁠¹ and being appalled at the digitalization-driven annihilation of once fought-for values paired with de-facto government-mandated ac­cep­tance of this new brutal re­al­i­ty, I concluded to no longer be morally ca­pa­ble of supporting the web in its cur­rent form and thus began work on my own blogging soft­ware in April of 2020.
Now, beginning of Sep­tem­ber 2020, this pro­ject has reached a presentable state; having trans­fer­red all 232 jblog posts, reformatting and annotating them as well as improving minor syn­tac­tic­ally or grammaticallly uneven sections, I can announce my blog’s movement:

If you choose to visit my blog, I can assure you that no trackers, cookies or malicious scripts will be employed against you. I will not try to collect a lot of data about your visit and the few inherently technically required data points in form of non-aggregated system logs will not be shared with third parties.

This 233rd post is the last to be published on https://jonathanfrech.wordpress.com, which will be shut down on the 31st of De­cem­ber 2020.
If you are interested in my blog, you can use my RSS feed to get a full list of my blog posts, updated as new are writ­ten. RSS is not like oth­er subscription models — there is no server which knows your details and eagerly sends traffic your way to coerce you to a click. RSS re­quires you, the user, to request a feed and on­ly then will transmit said feed.
