Truly free #GNU/Linux distributions like #Dragora, #Trisquel, or #Parabola tend to have fewer contributors but all the same hosting expenses as larger distros. Have you donated to support them yet? https://dragora.org/en/donate.html #FreeSoftware

ICYMI, governments around the world are deeply hungry for technology that will liberate them from big tech while solving the problems their communities face.

Free and open source software can get us there, balancing independence people need with the interdependence necessary for sustainability.

Let's do all we can to help them. Support and promote your favourite projects today.

A #ThankGNU! to Brett Stevens, Crystal Moreno, David Ignat, and Inouye Satoru for helping the FSF to promote #FreeSoftware. To see a longer list of those who have helped us financially in our advocacy for #SoftwareFreedom and awareness, visit: https://u.fsf.org/45m

Upgraded the PeerTube instance at https://videos.abnormalbeings.space to #PeerTube 7.1.

Feels and looks great, and I think I managed to break nothing along the way. I especially love the new feature to easily browse content from a specific, federated #instance

Thank you, @Framasoft and every other contributor on #github - it takes a global village to raise (and maintain) a software.

Hello people,

Before I finish today's (late)work hours.

I'd like to thank @jas

Who is contributing with the adoption of #RISCV in #Trisquel 12, #Ecne

Thank you for helping getting Trisquel forward. Your donation will be well used and we hope to get some more news soon on how it will be landing in the following months.

Thank you again to Simon and any other Trisquel supporter, as a community distro we rely on you help:

We just launched the Silent #FreeSoftware Memorabilia Auction. The first ten items are now open for bidding: https://u.fsf.org/466 This is your chance to get your very own personal souvenir of the FSF, from original GNU art to plush gnus that have been greeting visitors in the lobby of the FSF office for years and the very same VT220 that sat on the FSF's front desk.

In a world where technology can mean the difference between life and death, can we afford the restrictions proprietary software places on progress? Watch and share "Rewind" (Spoiler alert: the answer is "no".) https://u.fsf.org/rewind #FreeSoftware

New versions of #Windows might change the UI or underlying components, but they don't change the only thing important to know about Windows: it's nonfree software. Choose software that actually respects its users instead. https://u.fsf.org/3eu #FSF #FreeSoftware
