For weeks, it was not possible to maintain the project. We are going to fix that.
Keep in mind that even if we don't release new versions, our services have costs through our server charges.
This server is used for the respectful translation feature inside #Fedilab https://translate.fedilab.app and also for scheduling your messages https://plan.fedilab.app or the push notifications server.

So don't hesitate to help us through our liberapay account. Thank you.

New versions of Windows might change the UI or underlying components, but they don't change the only thing important to know about Windows: it's nonfree software. Choose software that actually respects its users instead. https://u.fsf.org/3eu

Thank you to everyone who supported us last week. Your support means the world to us.

We will return the favor by working harder than ever.

Perverse incentives! #HelpLBRYSaveCrypto
