My donation ends where their disrespect for human freedom begins. (Over |
| 8 |
a decade ago, back on MS, I used to run distributed.net. However, they |
| 9 |
don't have a freedomware client, or at least didn't back then, and while |
| 10 |
I understand the reasons why -- someone cheating and saying they did the |
| 11 |
work when they didn't, just to get the stats -- that didn't change the |
| 12 |
fact that I wasn't going to run servantware. But as they say, YMMV.) |
