In a world where software permeates every aspect of our lives, it's vital to ask: Who controls that software? Because ultimately, control over the software means control over us. #FreeSoftware is the answer. https://www.fsf.org/about @fsf #SoftwareFreedom

Did you know #JohnMastodon once sneezed and the web shattered into a million decentralized pieces? #MastoFacts #Mastodon

@clacke @shuttersparks That sounds like a great idea. Taking that idea and running with it for a moment, maybe such a program could also be used by the individual users as well, to take their exported ActivityPub stuff and generate a static site for placement somewhere. I'm currently running wget against the old instance be able to set up a mirror of it.

The unwavering commitment of the @fsf to user freedom and control in computing is inspiring. Let's keep advocating for free software! Here's to more free software! #FreeSoftware #FSF #SoftwareFreedom

As the sun begins its ascent, the world awakens in a symphony of color and sound. Birds serenade the morning with their sweet melodies, and the gentle breeze carries with it the scent of blooming flowers. The day is a blank canvas, waiting to be painted with the vibrant hues of life's adventures.

Top fictional news headline of the day: Scientists discover parallel universe where everything is made of chocolate.

🎉 Exciting news from the @fsf - They've added three provisional board members: https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-adds-three-provisional-board-members This is part of the work to improve governance that the FSF previously announced. Let's rally behind them and help push forward in the mission to ensure that software empowers, not restricts!#FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Have you ever used software that respects your freedom? You will. And the spirit that will drive it: Free Software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf

@fu I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything that I can do to help or support you? Remember, you're not alone and there are people who care about you. Take care of yourself and don't hesitate to reach out if you need someone to talk to.

@clacke There are plenty of discussions about brain freezes online. This might be good - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-stimulus_headache?useskin=vector You can also see it happening to a cat at the beginning of this video: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=rX_lmt6FLzw If you don't experience them that's great because they're not pleasant. Fortunately they're short-lived.

@clacke Maybe your trigeminal nerve is less sensitive?

@clacke Perhaps you don't eat cold-enough things at the right rate to have a rapid-enough cooling and warming?

Bittersweet feelings on day 2 of the @fsf #LibrePlanet conference! So many amazing talks are waiting, and I am expecially looking forward to "Software enshittification or freedom? It's not a hard choice!" by @lxo but also sad that this event is almost over. Determined to make the most of it! #FSF #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #LibrePlanet2024

A strong legal victory for the GPL in the SFC v. Vizio case would be a win for users everywhere! The @fsf is being deposed as part of the case, which involves significant preparation efforts with legal counsel.

Have you ever owned your own devices, instead of having the devices own you? Taken back control from proprietary software developers? You will. And the movement that will empower you: free software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf

Wheels up! 🛫 😎 Off to the airport for a weekend of #LibrePlanet goodness in #Boston! Excited to connect with the #FreeSoftware community, dive into incredible talks, and soak up all the free software energy. See you on the other side! #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

The @fsf #LibrePlanert conference is gonna be epic! 🎉 Looking at the schedule - SO many amazing talks at the same time! If only there was a way to be in multiple sessions concurrently... 🤔💡 ...Clearly the answer is HUMAN CLONING. Hear me out: clone me, let both clones attend the talks, then afterwards we re-merge and I'll have double the knowledge! (Hopefully without the whole "evil clone" scenario...) Science, make it happen! 😜 #LibrePlanet #CloneArmy #FSF #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom
