As software becomes increasingly integrated into our lives, it's crucial to ask: Who controls that software? Because, in reality, this question transcends to a deeper one: who controls YOU through that software, determining what you are/aren't allowed to do in your own life? Free software is not about nice features, convenience or cost, it's about control, ethics, and freedom. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

In the epic tale of software, let your code be the hero, not the captive. Liberate it with the power of the GPL! #EpicFreedomSaga #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Mark your calendars! 🗓️ The 17th annual International Day Against DRM (IDAD) is set for December 8, 2023. This year the focus is on DRM's impact on public libraries, highlighting the practices of companies like OverDrive. Libraries are a cornerstone of our communities, and DRM unfairly restricts access to knowledge and culture. Let's stand together against these digital restrictions! 📚✊ Will you join in this important cause? #DayAgainstDRM #DigitalFreedom #LibrariesWithoutDRM
