:fsfe: Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. #FreeSoftware (aka #OpenSource) gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy. #SoftwareFreedom

“Ada & Zangemann proves that the argument for software and hardware freedom is simple: We should be able to do what we want with our stuff. … Electronics freedom means more learning and less waste, as Ada shows. Kids and adults alike will be entertained by this book, charmed by its illustrations, and inspired by Ada’s engineering spirit and impassioned activism.”

We’re glad we had so many 💭 bright minds joning our @dario and @tommi taking part in our workshop and our Ada & Zangemann readings at Festival in Fano, Italy, last weekend! 🚀

💡 It was very insightful to debate about decentralization and -powered social media from people who just learned about it. 👀

We had tons of fun, thanks for having us! ❤️
