On this day, November 18, 1928 Steamboat Willie debuted, marking the first fully synchronized sound cartoon and the official birth of #MickeyMouse. Who could've guessed it would set the stage for Disney's role as a champion of #copyright maximalism? From humble beginnings to shaping laws that extend copyright terms beyond imagination. Let's not forget that cultural works are meant to enrich everyone, not stay locked away forever. #Disney#FreeCulture#OnThisDay
Rewatched Darmok. An exploration of communication, cultural understanding, and shared experience. Shaka, when the walls fell. #StarTrek#AllStarTrek#TNG@allstartrek
On this day 54 years ago, November 17 1970 the Soviet Union made history when the Lunokhod 1 rover they'd sent to the moon landed and became the first roving remote-controlled robot to land on another world. A historical step in space exploration. #Lunokhod1#SpaceHistory#MoonExploration#OnThisDay
Every day, my cat teaches me the art of living: Nap when you're tired, play when you're happy, demand what you deserve, and always find the coziest spot in the room. #Caturday#CatWisdom#CatsOfMastodon

When software is woven into every aspect of our lives - our cars, our appliances, our medical devices - the question of who controls that software isn't just technical, it's deeply personal. It boils down to control over our own freedoms and choices. Who owns your software? Who can alter it, share it, or revoke it? This isn't just about code, it's about power. #FreeSoftware is the answer: https://www.fsf.org/about
