  1. Celebrating 42 years of software freedom! On this day in 1983, the GNU Project was launched.

  2. If you want to protest the silent coup at the OSI (endorsing proprietary MOLE Training as "Open Source", dodgy election practices to prevent reform, etc), here's what we can do;

    * sign the community petition calling for the full release of results for the 2025 OSI board election; codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/elec

    * Join @fsf or volunteer for the #GnuProject, and encourage others to do the same

    * Launch or support a campaign for OSI reform

  3. From the founding of the GNU Project in 1983, through the 1990s and into the 2000s, the main goal of Software Freedom activists was to replace proprietary software on people's computers, with software compiled from Free Code.

  4. @fsf I have just read as much of stallman-report.org as I can stomach, apparently this is not new information but it's new to me and many others. Richard #Stallman and the board and voting members of the #FSF who supported his reinstatement need to be replaced. This is heinous stuff to be enabling and trying to sweep under the rug.

    CW for the report: sexual assault, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality

  18. I wish Richard Stallman recovery from cancer, and many more years of quality libre life.

  19. Props to the Chief GNUisance Dr Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation, and creator of the philosophical scaffolding of software freedoms and copyleft.

    Without his work, we wouldn't even have this decentralised space - powered 100% by Free Code (so far) - to argue about whether he deserves props. Arguably the net as we know it could not exist.

  20. The GNU Project turned 40 on Tuesday. Congratulations GNU!

    In honour of the achievements of the multitude of talented people who have contributed to GNU over the last 40 years, I'm going to pull finger and teach mysefl how to install an updated mobile GNU OS on my PinePhone (props to the @PINE64 crew).

  21. Photos from #GNU40 in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Big thanks and congrats to everyone who came out to this year's milestone #Hacker Meeting. Here's to forty more years of #FreeSoftware and the #GNUProject

  22. #Nomenclature 🎯#naming pause:
    In the #software environment, the #fork system call causes a running process to #split itself into two identical copies.

    "The purpose of fork() is to create a new process, which becomes the #child process of the caller."

    Taking the #code out of an app and modifying it without the original community is #forking. The #GNUProject in 1996 already used the word for a schism and not a subgroup: groups.google.com/g/gnu.misc.d
