@prime Nice

you can share your #freedomladder like https://deep-pandya.codeberg.page/freedom-ladder.html

Hmm. I realized that this was just initial step and I need to read, learn and practice more to gain the eligibility of entering into some real life example. So, now I am going through the very famous book "Practical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel.

Actually I selected this book only before I came to find the "Gentle Introduction..." book. But some topics and presentation went from top of my head! Haha.

Now I am confident enough to complete Seibel's book.

Just completed the book "Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" 1990 editon!

Recently, 3 months ago I started learning the basic of Lisp (inspired by reading Free As in Freedom 2.0), installed Emacs, Slime, SBCL and continued learning whenever I got some time.

Although my choice of book/stuff may be obsolete however I feel the learning is quite meaningful. Hoping for implementing/experimenting it further to some practical recognizable task.

@codebuzz GNU initiated many such software in response to well known proprietary resistance. Few examples are GNOME, Hurd, GNUStep, GNU Social, GNU Arch/Bazaar, Oleo / Gnumeric etc..

Although not all of them continued however the important thing is to stay true to upholding and preserving the ideals and philosophy!

Have a look at the acronym I made for #Lisp just for philosophical fun!

Btw, It's only two months I started learning / experimenting Common-Lisp (inspired by reading #faif )

Did you like it? Or share yours!

@rohitfarmer.com Nice, you can add the tag #freedomladder if all listed software are Libre!

@glitzersachen By the way, #Lisp is not retro, it's metro!

(subst 'metro 'retro '(retro computing by LISP))

I recently started learning common Lisp (partially inspired by Free as in Freedom 2.0) and now feeling very enthusiastic to learn and experiment more and more!

@yoasif Any idea why GNU's #IceCat hasn't gained a recognizable user base?

@Tutanota Nice awareness. Although I have been using #Disroot as my primary mail service provider since 2018 (just after OpenMailBox was sold), I have recently added #Tuta as a secondary. (Recommendations from https://www.fsf.org/resources/webmail-systems)

Btw, I have been using #K9Mail (becoming #Thunderbird now) since a decade on my Android phone.

I have found that Tuta is not supporting IMAP/SMTP protocols and hence I will have to install Tuta's Android application. How does it works without these protocols?

@GIMP Nice! #GIMP is one of the essential tool that makes my #FreedomLadder (https://deep-pandya.codeberg.page/freedom-ladder.html)

Btw, I learned from https://www.gimp.org/develop/ that It is no longer part of the #GNU Project!

Inspired by @fsf 's #FreedomLadder campaign, I have just tried creating one sample!

@itsfoss Nice. Btw, you could use the word "freedom" to highlight how GNU/Linux is philosophically different!

Happy Deepavali!

💻✨🎆🪔

May the light of Libre Software shine bright this Deepavali — spreading knowledge and freedom, and driving away the darkness of unethical proprietary software!
