🎉 Exciting news from the @fsf - They've added three provisional board members: https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-adds-three-provisional-board-members This is part of the work to improve governance that the FSF previously announced. Let's rally behind them and help push forward in the mission to ensure that software empowers, not restricts!

So, I saw this locked up piano at the mall today, and I thought of this meme.

So, what do ya' think?

Have you ever owned your own devices, instead of having the devices own you? Taken back control from proprietary software developers? You will. And the movement that will empower you: free software. https://www.fsf.org/about @fsf

The @fsf. conference is gonna be epic! 🎉✈️ Looking at the schedule - SO many amazing talks at the same time! If only there was a way to be in multiple sessions concurrently... 🤔💡 ...Clearly the answer is HUMAN CLONING. Hear me out: clone me, let both clones attend the talks, then afterwards we re-merge and I'll have double the knowledge! (Hopefully without the whole "evil clone" scenario...) Science, make it happen! 😜

If you need a hosted solution, I've had a good experience using @fsf's meet instance with my classmates for university work when we can't meet in person. Really quite nice, and the others don't need an account. :ablobcatheart:

So the UK is unable to implement a bottle deposit system like the rest of the world has:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/25/huge-disappointment-as-uk-delays-bottle-deposit-plan-and-excludes-glass

Meanwhile, Greenland has, over the last six months, succesfully implemented its own, managed by free software available on Github:

@fsfe @fsf

libreuser,

@agger @fsfe @fsf Wow, it's awesome to see that Greenland made their system free software! Btw, it's kinda weird that not all EU countries have such system yet.

In 1989, we published the GNU #GPL. It is at the core of software freedom and it protects users' rights to run, copy, modify, and share. Read more about free software licensing https://www.fsf.org/licensing

I remember the original well. It changed how I think about how to work within existing systems to effect change.

Our "Respects Your Freedom" (RYF) certification program helps you find hardware that doesn't violate your right to control the devices you own. Learn more, and shop while supporting companies that support your freedom: https://ryf.fsf.org/

isengaara,

@fsf
I habe been looking for a VR HMD that respects my freedom. None exists and worse the Quest violates the GPL. So I'll make my own running Replicant.
