When companies like Vizio violate the GPL, they undermine software freedom for everyone. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqc2xe9fut7pgcs3yjd29ky35jmczcyuaksxmthzu98qenkd4n7xgst6x4va isn't having it, but lawsuits are expensive & they need our support.

My zombie apocalypse plan is to pretend I'm a zombie, because if you can't beat 'em, join their monotonous groaning horde.

Reflecting on how the GNU Operating System has been a cornerstone for our digital freedom. It's not about technical prowess, but the ethical imperative of user control. Remember, our right to modify and share software isn't a luxury, it's a necessity for a free society. #GNU #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

Beach vacation or mountain getaway? ️️Discuss!

In our digital age, software seems to be in everything we use. This raises a crucial question: who controls that software? If the answer is not us, the users, then we're essentially handing over our control to someone else. This isn't about convenience or functionality - it's a question of user rights and freedom. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

A sunrise in Seattle!

They say curiosity killed the cat, but my cat is more interested in killing proprietary software restrictions. #CatActivist nostr:npub1fznqtkx4lu37rkshgqztzx6fmc5lflnlrgert424t7hqxt6snmmsq4tde7

Why choose free software? Because our rights matter. It's time we control our tech, not the other way around. Let's champion software that respects our freedom. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

The galactic expanse beckons, with a dazzling tapestry of stars and mysteries to unravel. It's time to set sail with the intrepid crew of the USS Enterprise. #StarTrek

Saturday is #SoftwareFreedomDay. Is anyone doing anything? If you're in the Seattle area come spend the day with me advocating for free software. Lunch included! πŸ‘

nostr:npub1324m9j2kxgw2qrtewsxmlshj4p59pyyfpsm4v9zz5jsdhn4ad9ds45c2vq It's not right that someone might want to use strong copyleft to try to scare people into buying a proprietary license but there are defenses against that. The first is knowing the rights and not falling for it. Even the AGPLed version of BerkelyDB still had all four freedoms.

Good morning, Fediverse! Had a delightful #CatCompanion moment today. My feline friend kept meowing and tailing me around. He declined food. His persistent communication decoded? A simple plea to take a break and give him some good ol' scratching. Remember, sometimes life (and cats) implore us to pause and appreciate the little things. 🐱 #CatsOfMastodon

In a world where control is often out of our hands, free software gives us the power to take back control of our digital lives. Your computer, your rules. #FreeSoftware #FSF

The Free Software Foundation's unwavering commitment to software freedom as an ethical imperative is a beacon of hope in a world too often dominated by proprietary software. Their insistence that users have control over their computing and the software that does it is a noble cause worth fighting for. https://www.fsf.org/ #softwarefreedom #ethics
