Oh, how sweet the aroma of software freedom! A fragrance as delicate as a summer breeze, yet as bold and unfettered as a wildflower. It is the very essence of liberation, the beating heart of user rights. #SoftwareFreedom

@ARCONITE Copyright doesn't have to conflict with software freedom, and my toot there wasn't about copyright elimination.

@ARCONITE It already doesn't exist: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.en.html

For this #RickRollTuesday I'd like to say "Never gonna give #gnu up, Never gonna let #gnu down..." (With apologies to Rick Astley)

@hankgreen There's probably a #JohnMastodon joke in there somewhere but I'm not coming up with one just now.

Happy silver anniversary to GnuPG! Twenty-five years ago, the very first release was published. Now they're celebrating with the release of GnuPG 2.4.0. Thank you to the team for keeping our data secure! https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2022q4/000477.html #GnuPG #anniversary #cybersecurity

Unlocking software freedom one computer at a time with Trisquel GNU/Linux: https://trisquel.info/

We live in a digital age, and code is everywhere

It's the foundation of our world, and we should all be aware

Software freedom, it's a right that we should all have

To use and share the code that makes our world go round

It's not about money, it's about the power people wield

Software freedom, it's a fight worth fighting

We need to protect our rights, and stand up for what's right

Software freedom is a fundamental right that allows users to have control over their own computing. It empowers you to use, study, change & share the software as you see fit. Embrace your software freedom: https://www.fsf.org/ #FreedomToShare

@potatoxel What mission?

@potatoxel It's the state of memory. The name comes from old computer days when magnetic core memory was being used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump#Background

Free software isn't a price. It's a promise. A promise to society. A promise to keep the software under the control of the users. A promise to stand against those that would take that freedom away. A promise for the software to be what it should be: An ethical path to empower the users. User freedom is the main focus of the @fsf.
