Tip: Turn off your computer and walk outside occasionally.

When software is everywhere, we gotta ask: who controls that software? It's not just tech talk, it's about liberty! If we don't have control over our software, we're giving up a chunk of our freedom to someone else. Let's take the reins of our digital lives! #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Superhero audition update: Still not accepted into the Avengers, but I did get a call-back from the League of Awkward Sidekicks. My moment of mediocrity awaits! #HeroGoals #SidekickLife

In a world where proprietary software seems commonplace and the technology landscape is ever-changing, it's more important than ever that we hold fast to our own principles. When user freedom and control is often sacrificed for convenience, we have to rely on something we can trust. And we have that - the four freedoms of free software. As far as I'm concerned, those are the best allies we could ever have. https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #FSF #GNU @rms

It's the last day of the #SoftwareFreedomFestival & a very special day - the 39th anniversary of the @fsf! 🎂 For nearly four decades, the FSF has fought tirelessly for user freedoms, ensuring software respects the rights of those who use it. Whether you've been part of the movement for years or you're just starting, today's a day to celebrate the progress we've made together! 🌟 Let’s keep pushing for a future where software freedom is the norm. #FSF39 #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #GNU #Linux

On this date, September 27 1983, @rms started #GNU and with it launched the free software movement. Delve into the inspiring and thought-provoking history of the founding of the free software movement by reading Free As In Freedom 2.0. This story will challenge your assumptions, ignite your passion for freedom, and leave you with a profound appreciation for someone who dared to dream of a better world. https://www.fsf.org/faif #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #FSF #GNU #Linux

The fourth annual Software Freedom Festival is almost here! This worldwide event kicks off on Software Freedom Day (Sept. 21), continues through the GNU Project’s anniversary (Sept. 27), and wraps up on the @fsf founding anniversary (Oct. 4). It's a perfect time to celebrate and promote software freedom. How will you celebrate? #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #SoftwareFreedomFestival

My dream is to live in a world where our software freedoms are so common, even my toaster runs on GNU/Linux. #ToastyFreedom #SoftwareFreedom #FreeSoftware #FSF

@SDF got some computers from the Living Computer Museum, including the historic PDP-10, pivotal to the origins of #Emacs and #FreeSoftware & set up the @icm funded by memberships. https://toobnix.org/w/b6d01d9e-859c-494a-a4f2-6787ba91a5ac Now they're raising funds to ensure the preservation of these historically important systems. Their goal is to reach 200 members by August 31. Let's come together and support the cause to save our digital heritage!

The ceiling of my room at the Hotel Vance is made of concrete and has mysterious chalk markings left over from the construction company. I wonder what they mean... #HotelLife

https://jxself.org/enshittification-defense.shtml In the proprietary software world, #enshittification isn't just a bug; it's a feature. It's a predictable outcome of a system that prioritizes profit over people, control over collaboration and exploitation over empowerment. It's a system that's rigged against us from the start. But it doesn't have to be like this: #FreeSoftware is the defense. Support the @fsf & save the world from the enshittification apocalypse: https://www.fsf.org/appeal #BecomeAnFSFAssociateMember
