Suggesting those of us who care about the freedom/libre aspects of it stylise FLOSS as **FL**OSS to ensure everyone knows where the emphasis is.

@mos_8502 #Motif IMHO simply wasted a lot of space. I'd rather prefer the aesthetic of #Amiga #intuition or rather of #MagicUserInterface that has been nicely reimplemented as #freeAsInFreedom software by #aros (they called it #Zune)
Yet another introduction to the libre software written in late 2025:
Discussing on ethical aspects of technological innovations, introducing the Free Software Movement by Dr. Richard Stallman and giving few real life analogies.

Just a follow-up to this. I bought Brave Origin and have been using it across Android, macOS, and Fedora. It's a brilliant, fast, and compatible browser. IMO Brave Shields in "aggressive" mode is one of the best uBlock Origin alternatives in the Chromium ecosystem. My defaults are still Firefox on mobile and Zen everywhere else, but sometimes you need a Chromium-based browser. In the era of slop, we should be pragmatic and willing to pay for good free software.
The final text of Colorado's OS-level age verification bill now explicitly exempts libre operating systems. So if you don't want your age to be captured by websites, use BSD or Linux.

Big news for people who like computational options in a world of diminishing options:

Wouldn’t it be something to see this rolled out to people working on free (as in freedom) technology for the common good so we didn’t have to bake in ways of surviving under the current capitalist system into the tech we’re designing just so we can pay the “cost of living?”
“Sustainable” under capitalism has a very different meaning – it means making a profit (even if you’re a not-for-profit) whereas “sustainable” in general has no such connotation.

I dare say that using only #FreeAsInFreedom #FreeSoftware helps **a lot** in solving these issues.
I like urge you to use the more clear Italian word #SoftwareLibero or the French #LogicielLibre as those words make it clear the issue is freedom, not price

I've been using a public #funkwhale instance to stream my music for the past month. I like it so much, I decided to set up my own experimental instance on a #linode
It was easy to deploy, and the documentation was pretty good. Next steps will be figuring out object storage and uploading my library. With the smallest linode and the smallest object storage subscription, it'd be like $10/mo to host. So, less than an individual spotify subscription, and way cooler.

Le switch est effectué sur ma machine principale (un Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3) de Windows 11 à Linux Mint, saveur Cinnamon.
Mint comme d'habitude sur Lenovo et Dell: Tout fonctionne du premier coup; wi-fi, webcam, son, etc, etc...
Encore une grosse après-midi de configuration et je serais pleinement opérationnel. Mon seul regret sera pour l'application Antidote, vraiment excellente, mais disponible seulement sur Windows et Mac.

@chaosmonkey @massonpj This is why I use the @fsf' General Public License #GPL on most of my projects. I build them so that other people can use them, yes -- but I don't build them so that companies can lock them into proprietary products and then gouge profits out of them.
@fsf Is you or if you like me and are not a programmer can have (hired or someone you can get volunteer for you that is) a programmer add any features to software you want. That is on of the principles FSF #FreeAsInFreedom so you are no longer have to be entirely reliant on the publisher of the software would implement #suggestions on software.

Rightly so, I dare say, as #FreeAsInFreedom #licenses must be "armoured" by "traditional" "all right reserved" copyright to actually work as intended
