Freedom is the gift that keeps on giving. By giving your friend or family member an <a href="https://my.fsf.org/gift-a-membership"><b>FSF associate membership</b></a>, you can show them you care <i>and</i> benefit the cause for global software freedom. Or, add it to your wishlist and let your own friends and family know you want to support the FSF!
</p>
+ <p>As a special initiative to make our membership program more accessible to more people, we've launched the <a href="https://fsf.org/join"><strong>friends</strong> membership</a> tier, a way to bring yourself or your loved one into our free software community.</p>

<li><p>Why it's cool: The Vikings D8 is a robust desktop computer that can be scaled up or down according to your needs, and which is capable of doing everything from simple Web browsing and video playback to intense code compilation.</p></li>
<li><p>You can order the Vikings D8 installed with the preferred <a href="https://trisquel.info">Trisquel</a> distribution of GNU/Linux, a fully free operating system that removes the user-hostile binary-only blobs lurking in the drivers of many common network and graphics cards, or, if you prefer, you can order the D8 installed with any other <a href="https://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html">free distribution of GNU/Linux</a>.</p></li>
+ <li><p>As it's currently out of stock, consider asking your friendly, neighborhood hacker to install a free GNU/Linux distribution and a free BIOS on your current machine. Better yet, find the D8's motherboard (KMCA-D8) or a Lenovo X200 laptop and ask them to do the same!</p></li>

<li><a href="https://mntre.com/">MNT</a>'s Reform laptop is promising from a free software perspective. If the nonfree code used to initalize the RAM were to be replaced by the community, we have reason to believe it would be fully compatible with your freedom.</li>
<li><a href="https://store.vikings.net/en/">Vikings</a> sells a variety of devices that respect you as a user, not just the D8. Many of these devices are RYF-certified, and others, like the Talos II, are freedom-friendly. Vikings will offer perform installations of free boot firmware (BIOS) on compatible models.</li>
<li><a href="https://pine64.org">PINE64</a> is a company and user community making a variety of laptops, smartwatches, ereaders, and more. The freedom status of these devices vary, but the project has made positive progress in a short time, piquing the interest of many in the free software community.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://puri.sm">Purism</a>'s devices ship with the PureOS distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system, one that is more freedom-friendly than popular distributions like Mint or Ubuntu.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you know of a project or company we've missed who are <em>earnestly</em> working to free their devices, but who need a little help in doing so, <a href="mailto:campaigns@fsf.org">please let us know!</a></p>
