@lemmygrad.mlSo the other day I was burning time doing a little bit of Spanish practice on the free version of duolingo when I thought to myself "wouldn't it be fantastic if something freely available like this existed that comprehensively taught mathematics up to a university level".
Does something like this exist and if so is it any good? Ideally the software I imagine is totally comprehensive; offering not only tutorials on everything from the absolute fundamentals to advanced topics but also problem generators that allow people to apply the lessons, practice and test their understanding under a wide variety of possible circumstances. Does such freeware exist?
A readily available, approachable and most importantly freely available resource of this kind could be a huge boon for spreading mathematical education all over the world.

The lords of the internet care very little about user privacy—what they want to preserve, is their own commercial license against government regulation of any kind.

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users’ devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.

Let's start with the biggest news first: Lemmy is receiving funding from the NLnet foundation! The funding is for a total amount of 45.000 €, which will allow /u/dessalines and me (/u/nutomic ) to work on Lemmy full-time for at least half a year.
We have created various milestones for the work we are planning to do. Most of them are about getting ActivityPub federation ready for production. In addition, we will work on:
joinlemmy.ml
type siteThe details of the milestones will be posted on our github issue tracker soon.
We're very excited about this opportunity, and can't wait to finish federation.
In other news, we have just released Lemmy v0.7.0. Most importantly, this update switches to Pict-rs for image hosting, due to various performance-related issues with Pictshare. Pict-rs was coded from scratch in Rust by the amazing @asonix, who also created the ActivityPub library for Rust. We can't thank him enough for all the work he is doing for Lemmy!
We'd also like to thank the following people for their contributions:
Other than that, since v0.6.0 in January we've closed over 100 issues, fixed tons of bugs and added many new features.
You can find the full changelog and upgrade instructions here.
