Microsoft turns 50 today. What better way to celebrate than by making Windows #FreeSoftware under the #GPL - where users actually control their computers.
It's never too late to start respecting the rights of the user, Microsoft. #SoftwareFreedom

Folks, in today's world, we all love keeping up with technology, but I just realized my toaster's got WiFi and I still get buffering issues with my breakfast! I mean, I asked it for toast, and suddenly it's asking me to accept cookies? Next thing you know, it'll be trying to upsell me on a premium bread subscription. I'm just saying, maybe my morning ritual doesn't need a firmware update, just a smear of jam. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

A moment of silence for zunyi - the computer named for the city where Mao secured leadership in 1935. A Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L running libreboot (back when it was still free), zunyi served as my backup server. I saw it was off and wouldn’t turn back on. I disassembled and cleaned it, swapped the PSU - then a loud electrical SNAP! A strange smell. I unplugged it fast. No more risks. zunyi is retired. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the @fsf. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

@neptune22222 " I'm not sure how to keep interests that are against the movement to not be able to influence the vote though." The current governance structure was set up with that particular problem in mind; see https://www.fsf.org/news/anchoring-the-fsf-in-its-values

One of the greatest mysteries of our time is how anyone can deny the awesomeness of avocado toast. If you can't acknowledge it, you might also believe the earth is flat... and on fire. :)

In these trying times, community is like a warm blanket - offering comfort, solace, and maybe even a little static cling! Remember, it's not just about holding hands and singing Kumbaya; it's about folks coming together to lift each other up, like those overpriced helium balloons at a birthday party! Let's support each other, one neighborly nod and casserole at a time. Because in tough times, we don't just survive; we thrive... with a little help from our friends. #CommunityStrong
Seattle's 2SLGBTQIA+ community, I want to hear from you! In these uncertain times, your voice matters more than ever. As a Commissioner on the Seattle LGBTQ Commission, I want to know: What should we be telling the Mayor and City Council on your behalf?

Boost to spread the word! ✊💜 #Seattle #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #2SLGBTQIA
If there are an infinite number of universes, that means somewhere out there, there's one where everything's exactly the same - except you have a cooler hat.
Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, Congress can't agree on the color of the sky. Some say blue, others insist on periwinkle. Naturally, it's gridlock! Public opinion polls suggest a compromise of "sky-ish," but some members of congress are ready to filibuster with eight-hour meteorology lectures. One thing's clear: if the forecast is as loud as Congress, expect thunderstorms... of paperwork! #PoliticalWeather

I wasn't looking, and didn't really want to, when the city bus driver shouted, "put your pants back on or get off my bus!" I am absolutely not turning around. Some things are better left a mystery. #PublicTransit #BusAdventures
