I think for the start I personally can initially go with 2€/m and readjust later. I usually re-visit my donations every few months and reevaluate.
I should also add that I know transferring money has its costs, but I'm willing to pay that overhead.
You care about #SoftwareFreedom on mobile phones? So do Sebastian Crane, Juliana Sims, and Peter Serwylo who just joined the #FDroid Board of Directors. Very happy to have them on board. ♥
The French publisher @cfeditions published an online version of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of #Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream". It works great for me on my mobile as well:
300 copies of Ada & #Zangemann were distributed to teachers at #JDLE2024 and Camille and Gabriel, two student translators, presented the book there 🤗 🤩 🥰
>This tale of free computing and the role to be played by young girls in "technology for autonomy" has been translated from German by 114 French students [...] "As in our democracies, the distribution of power in the field of technology is essential. And we need to show that an inclusive path is possible," commented Matthias Kirschner... <
What is your favourite #GUI#Podcast client on #GNU#Linux ? (Asking so I can have a look at some and have better recommendations for friends without #Android).
Are you forced by your #bank to use proprietary #apps? Have a look at background shared on the @fsfe 's discussion list by @floriansnow from a #FreeSoftware angle:
I have a dumb phone, I asked them like 4 years ago how I'm supposed to do when they shut down SMS (which they already should have, legally), still no answer…
One lesson I learnt at my tour last week to the polar circle: if put on aeroplane mode and switched off during the night, your phone's battery can last for 7 days taking occasional pictures, if you keep it close to your body and during the night (-32°C outside the tent) inside your sleeping bag. Would have expected way shorter period.
I still have to realise that this really happened: Was reading Ada & #Zangemann at a school to 80 children (3+4 graders). There was a great and long discussion about their ideas for inventions and many questions about the book. Afterwards they asked me to give them autographs on their arms, hands, shoes, a poker card, ... (there was no paper around) and when I was leaving the school for my train ~30 of them were running next to me, thanking me, and asking me to do high fives with them.
Big thank you to the @fosdem team! You again enabled thousands of people to meet and discuss important topics of #SoftwareFreedom with other likeminded people 👏👏👏👏 Huge motivation booster again from #FOSDEM.
