Just arrived at the #SFSCon venue. Looking forward to see many of you joining the @fsfe team, other speakers, visitors, and myself here to talk about #SoftwareFreedom .

Also looking forward to the SFS award 2024 which will go to a European we made an outstanding contribution to #FreeSoftware #OpenSource.

@Jimdirect @torproject @fsfe Thank you Jim!! 🤗

There is no alternative to "the cloud"? Read how a company is saving ten million dollars over five years by exiting "the cloud":

Happy 28th birthday @kde community! A big thank you to all the contributors out there, who dedicate time and energy to create software which everyone can use, study, share, and improve! Your contribution to society is highly appreciated by the @fsfe 👏👏👏👏

Celebration here at the #LibreOffice conference 2024. Happy birthday @libreoffice

Was an honour to present the @fsfe 's work for #softwarefreedom at #libreoffice Conference 24. (slides uploaded to https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2024/talk/EHUL3Y/ )

Thanks to all the @libreoffice contributors out there 👏

We made it! The English movie "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" is now published under CC-BY-SA A big thank you to all who made this possible https://ada.fsfe.org/movie 🍦 🛹

Looking forward to attend the #LibreOffice Conference 2024 in Luxembourg next week.

Hope to see many of you there with the rest of the @libreoffice community , and maybe also joining me in my talk: The long way to #softwarefreedom https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2024/talk/EHUL3Y/

From NOW on 20,48% of all the public funding should go to #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

By 2048 ALL public funding for software should be for #FreeSoftware #OpenSource ONLY!

Code paid by the people should be available to the people! #PublicMoney? #PublicCode

(If you would like to see that as well, please boost.)

@tommi
But I want the 100% until 2048 as there is a likelyhood I will be alive.😉

"While #PostmarketOS may not be a mobile OS suitable for all, it is certainly usable for #Linux enthusiasts. ... #Phosh is a capable mobile user interface on these devices, including functional phone calls and SMS messages. ... Combined with the fact that this is a real Linux distribution that you can mold to your liking, install Linux packages on, and back up with tools such as rsync, postmarketOS undoubtedly serves a niche that includes many non-phone use cases."

It is actually a real living FSFE cat!
@fsfe

Got some money as present for my birthday and now finally had time to donate to some small #FreeSoftware #OpenSource components and organisations. At least a small contribution to increase the chance I can benefit from their work in future as well.

(In general I recommend to always spend more for #FreeSoftware than for software which does not grant you the rights to use, study, share, and improve it.)

Please help us to create a 2D animation movie of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" and publish it as an #OpenEducationalResources by the end of the year.

Please become an @fsfe supporter today an enable us to spark children's interest in coding for the next years to come: https://fsfe.org/donate

The French publisher @cfeditions published an online version of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of #Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream". It works great for me on my mobile as well:

Amazing to see what free licenses like #CreativeCommons make possible. @lessig @framaka

Please, please, please add a reminder to your calendar so that you do not forget to thank a #FreeSoftware #OpenSource contributor or organisation on 14 February (#ilovefs). 🙏

Some more background and ideas are available here: https://fsfe.org/news/2024/news-20240109-01.html

I have been in packed trains in Germany before. But today, for the first time, I saw people using the restroom for their luggage. #deutschbahn

More and more bank start to send customers e-mails that for $REASON they now have to install the proprietary app. And even if there is another way it is so well hidden, that most people think there is no other way than to download the proprietary app. Do you have similar experiences?

Just read 'Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of #Software, #Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream' to 100 children in the gym of the Kant-Grundschule in Berlin.

When I explained why #AdaLovelaceDay is celebrated, a girl said "That is good!!". Many of them told me about their ideas for future inventions and what they want to do with computers.

Looking forward to learn what some of them will accomplish in the next decades 🤗

Wearing this #FreeSoftware T-shirt for my book reading on #AdaLovelaceDay . Today, for the first time, I got the question by one of the children, if you can buy the shirt somewhere 😀

Yes, you can https://fsfe.org/order/index.en.html#tshirt but also good I brought many of the multilingual stickers with me for the 100 kids (which you can get from https://fsfe.org/promo )
