Happy birthday to #GNU! I was excited to be able to share the wonder of GNU with new research students a few weeks ago, and extoll the benefits and virtues of the project.
On this date, September 27 1983, @rms started #GNU and with it launched the free software movement. Delve into the inspiring and thought-provoking history of the founding of the free software movement by reading Free As In Freedom 2.0. This story will challenge your assumptions, ignite your passion for freedom, and leave you with a profound appreciation for someone who dared to dream of a better world. https://www.fsf.org/faif#FreeSoftware#SoftwareFreedom#FSF#GNU#Linux
The more I use Lisp, the more I understand the Unix philosophy as something not for daily use, but as something to be lying on top seamlessly, as #RMS wanted, and later with #GNU Hurd. Kinda like daemons and libraries doing the hard work in the background, silently; while you would using a Lisp interface for daily usage and Lisp having bindings (not wrapper for Unix commands, but API) to everything. It would be interesting if the #Lem editor got something similar to the #eshell for #Emacs.
O @blog está organizando de forma colaborativa uma semana de conversas online sobre Softwares Livres. É entre os dias 23 e 28 de Setembro, semana em que o Projeto GNU comemora 41 anos (27/9). A programação completa e os links de transmissão pode ser acessados aqui: https://gralha.cc/ssl-br. #SoftwareLivre#OpenSource#Linux#Gnu#CulturaDigital
🎉 The Freesh APT repository is 13 years old! https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/freesh.en.html Freesh makes it easy to install GNU Linux-libre on systems that use APT, ensuring we can all use software that respects our freedoms. Let's keep working together to build a future where freedom in computing is the standard for everyone, in a world where software serves us, not the other way around! #FreeSoftware#SoftwareFreedom#GNU#Linux#LinuxLibre

@umbu@almir Se fosse autor das provas de concursos para analista e técnico de TI na universidade, cobraria forte conhecimento de GNU e/ou POSIX, pré-requisito, ainda que vários colegas não reconheçam isso, para exercer praticamente qualquer função, seja de infra, seja dev, exceto talvez suporte direto a usuários de outro tipo de desktop. Então tem sim elevado valor profissional.
😅 "Linux", aliás, é o nome desse kernel, mas, no contexto, é um dos componentes do sistema operacional #GNU :gnu:
