The #OpenBook e-book reader can have your choice of case, because the design is #OpenHardware and ready for hacking by the community.
Days remaining in the #CrowdFunding for this device that respects your #SoftwareFreedom.

You are right to be alarmed @Steltloper, the #FreeSoftware ecosystem is threatened as many of the people trusted to maintain it are willingly dismantling checks on quality, by allowing #AISlop in various degrees.
This is exacerbated by the corporate takeover of many not-for-profit entities set up to steward #SoftwareFreedom (e.g. #MozillaFoundation, #LinuxFoundation, …). Today those foundations push an agenda of handing our power to #LLM controlled by sociopathic billionaires.

Yeah, fonts that contain executable code are therefore restricted by copyright like other programs @renardboy
and most popular fonts are not licensed with #SoftwareFreedom and so can't be part of a #FreeSoftware operating system.
We benefit from the hard work of people that created freely-licensed equivalents for the most popular fonts, so our desktop can have good looking replacements. But for others, you're on your own.

:fsfe: August Newsletter is here!
After our #FSFE25 celebration, we are already working on our next projects!

Just about happy with my #SelfHosted stack of software. Need to get RustDesk working, and I've been tinkering with LocalAI to figure out this agentic stuff (I really don't use LLMs much).
The final things are to make sure that everything is being backed up properly (it isn't) and finishing my homepage dashboard (it's boring and plain). And then I think I can finally sit back and enjoy my services - at least until I get the urge to tinker again...

For those wanting a completely de-blobbed Linux kernel (without having to compile from source), the FSFLA Linux-libre page provides ready to run binaries for Debian and Fedora based distros (supporting multiple architectures). It also provides realtime variants, along with the source code for each release.

PeerTube's an amazing free and decentralized video platform that deserves more attention. It's a free software replacement to mainstream video sites, and helps fight against centralization on the web. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #Decentralization #PeerTube

🕰️ 25 years of defending #SoftwareFreedom isn't just a milestone. It's 25 years of real wins: policy changes, court cases, communities empowered to control their own technology....
None of that happened by accident. It happened because people supported our work :fsfe:

None of what we do would be possible without our donors and supporters. Every euro given has gone straight back into empowering people to use technology.
Thank you for trusting the FSFE with your support!
