As long as the code behind "smart" home devices is proprietary, these companies are free to spy on us as much as they like. Help us fight back: tell your friends about free software and urge them to join the FSF! Support #FreeSoftware. fsf.org

"We are thrilled that Alyssa Rosenzweig will keynote #LibrePlanet 2024. Her work is fascinating and trailblazing. As long as companies like Apple deny its users the freedoms we all deserve, we rely on free software developers like Rosenzweig to defend it," says Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF. u.fsf.org/43c

"Many young students have a talent for programming; they are fascinated with computers and eager to learn how their systems work. With proprietary software, this information is a secret so teachers have no way of making it available to their students. But if it's free software, the teacher can explain the basic subject and then hand out the source code for the student to read and learn." gnu.org/education/edu-why.html #LearnLibre #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

The Canadian *Bill C-26*, which is now with the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security (u.fsf.org/433), may endanger the viability of small free software projects as they may not be able to pay the costs to comply with the reforms. u.fsf.org/432

We love free software. With much thanks to the talented @SachaChua @sachac for illustrating the reasons. See sachachua.com/blog/ for emacs news and more! #FreeSoftware

A comic about "Why I love free software" by Sacha Chua: Free software is like having more gifts that I can even imagine (with image of person reaching for presents). Each first is a building block that I can have fun with (image of blocks). More than that -- each block is a glimpse into someone else'e life (image of same blocks with talking people inside). I can combine things with bubblegum and string to make something that fits me so well (image of blocks combined with gun; then image of glove). [...] at the end it says, "So, bit by bit, we grow. Free software."

@fsf @sachac love this comic! I remember the first time I successfully installed a distribution and I was like - omg! I get ALL THIS and for FREE!? - and that delight pretty much stayed with me. No time limits, no annoying keycodes, no limited functionality, no being nagged about piracy. Every distribution is like a box of chocolates, you don't know what you're going to get, but it's always good.

@fsf Pretty disappointing to see the #FSF getting involved in cryptocurrency.

Iron Bug
@fsf any pdf documents on the protocol and/or other readable info? videos are not informative and take too much time.

@fsf Nice presentation. Though as I understand it, one-sided privacy isn't really privacy at all.
