  1. @evanchaney What #privacy respecting alternatives should #Apple users move to? πŸ€”

    Fairphone is only available in the EU, last I checked.

    Android could work if you never use a Google account and stick to #FreedomRespectingSoftware such as F-Droid instead of Play Store.

    AOSP ROMs (such as #LineageOS) are ideal, but that usually entails buying used, or paying top-dollar to Google for a Pixel. There are probably local #FreeSoftware communities who'd love to help with the installation process.

  2. Freedom Software turns 40!

    Happy 40th #GNU (for yesterday)!

    Here in Australia its already 29 Sep, but we won't let that minor technicality get in the way. May the next 40 years of #freedomSoftware be better and more liberating than the last. Here is an interview with @rms showing how far we must still go.

    Many cheers to all that make #freedomRespectingSoftware, with a very special thanks to #RichardStallman, of course.

    Hip-hip horray.

  3. @wyatwerp @subinpt @praveen Actually I wasn't talking about RYF certification for software. There are already various FSF endorsed Free Software licenses to make sure the software we use is Free. I suggested to use 'RYF' instead of 'Free' in 'Free Software' to avoid confusion regarding libre v/s gratis.

    I think let's just use #FreedomRespectingSoftware which is more unambiguous, I just wrote to RMS yesterday asking if he'd endorse the same.
