Happy #FSFFriday! I see that the @fsf is hosting their yearly #LibrePlanet conference May 4-5 at the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston! I've found LibrePlanet to be a great way to recharge my free software batteries. Come & join me? https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/libreplanet-2024-may-4-and-5-wentworth-institute-of-technology-boston-ma #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #FSF #GNU

Hey folks! Let's talk about #copyleft. It's a promise of freedom. It ensures that everyone who gets a copy of a program, also gets the freedoms to use, study, modify, and distribute it. A crucial part of our fight for #FreeSoftware against those who would take it away. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

A toast to #FSF and their tireless work for our freedom! https://www.fsf.org #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Remembering the first time I ran GNU/Linux. It was like a revelation! Suddenly, my computer didn't feel like a cage. That's the power of free software: it empowers us and it sets us free. #FreeSoftwareRevolution #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Did you know the GNU Operating System is a complete free software system, upward-compatible with Unix? It upholds the four essential freedoms, ensuring users can run, study, share, and modify their software. I'm grateful for this beacon of software freedom. Let's appreciate and support #GNU! https://www.gnu.org/ #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Watching the tech world evolve, I'm reminded of the importance of safeguarding our rights. https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Huge win for software freedom as the @fsf smashes through their fundraising target, thanks to the incredible support of the community, but the fight for digital rights isn't over. They've set a new stretch goal of $425k to fuel their mission, advocate for freedom, and secure our rights. Let's push them over the edge! https://www.fsf.org/appeal #FSF #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #Donate #StretchGoal

When you use free software, you're not just a user; you're a part of a movement. A movement that spells F-R-E-E-D-O-M. #MoreThanAUser #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Happy #Gnu Year from UTC-8! May your 2024 be as majestic as a gnu's beard, as unstoppable as a wildebeest migration, and as joyful as a penguin belly-flop. #gnuYear

Imagine a world where the software is controlled by those who use it. This is the world the free software movement is building, one line of code at a time. By embracing free software, we're not just choosing programs; we're making a statement - a statement that freedom matters, where our rights are encoded in the very software we use every day. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #FSF #GNU #Copyleft

Remember, the software you use shouldn't control you. You should control the software! It's time to reclaim our digital rights and build a world where technology serves us, not the other way around. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Looking ahead to 2024, let's make it a year of software liberation! Join the FSF, spread the word, and fight for a future where everyone enjoys the four freedoms. https://www.fsf.org/ #HackTheFuture #JoinTheFSF #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFredom

As I check their website, the FSF fundraiser is CRUSHING IT! ~$12k raised in 24 hours, bringing them down to ~$83k left! Let's keep this momentum going! https://www.fsf.org/appeal #FSF #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #Fundraiser

Reading the message from @fsf president Geoffrey Knauth as he reflects on the origins of software freedom: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/a-message-from-president-geoffrey-knauth-reflecting-on-the-origins-of-software-freedom

As 2023 closes, let's remember: our fight for #SoftwareFreedom is crucial. FSF's goal is within reach, but threats to our freedom persist. Let's stand with FSF to protect our computing rights. Every action counts! #GNU #FSF #FreeSoftware

Happy Public Domain Day! Let's take a moment to appreciate the wealth of knowledge and culture that becomes freely available to us all. #PublicDomainDay

For 2024 I wish for universal software freedom for all. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Oh wow - The FSF is only $95,000 away from their goal of bringing free software to schools, universities, and learners around the world! Every donation helps with this worldwide cause. https://www.fsf.org/appeal #LearnLibre #FreeSoftware #FSF #Donate

Reminder: Your computer should obey you, not someone else. Don't let proprietary software dictate what you can or cannot do. Choose free software and reclaim your digital rights! https://www.fsf.org #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

The evolution of technology is much like a river - constantly moving, and ever-changing. Let's navigate these waters together, with free software as our compass. https://www.fsf.org/ #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Happy to support the @fsf in advocating for users' right to control their computing. It's not just a tech preference, it's an ethical imperative! https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.en.html #FSF #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom
