Educational institutions of all levels should use and teach #FreeSoftware because it is the only software that allows them to accomplish their essential missions: to disseminate human knowledge and to prepare students to be good members of their community https://u.fsf.org/1dz

Don't let proprietary software marketing dollars give you a false sense of security -- your devices are vulnerable. Understand the risks, and promote free software. Start the conversation in your community today! #FreeSoftware https://www.fsf.org

"What #freesoftware offers is a diversity of choice. Although we can understand how the situation developed, one wonders how wise it is for so many critical services around the world to hedge their bets on a single distribution of a single operating system made by a single stupefyingly predatory monopoly in Redmond, Washington."

How could things have gone differently if #CrowdStrike was #freesoftware? https://u.fsf.org/44h

#CrowdStrike apparently values your business in 10 USD per user impacted.

I'm thinking that you should take the chance and demand way more, then use the money to replace your IT security strategy with one based on #FreeSoftware and security oriented configurations (which shouldn't be that much of an effort except for maybe having to retrain/replace a lot of people, which is expensive but, you know, your fault).

Yes, that means #Microsoft abstinence.

Get over it!
