Technology is at the heart of what we do, and even though we see it used to encroach freedoms, we KNOW it can also set you free. Thanks to our tech team the FSF operates in freedom. Support #FreeSoftware https://fsf.org Trisquel is a beautiful, fully free distribution of GNU/Linux. We also have Parabola and many other free GNU/Linux distributions -- all which respect your rights. Check out our list at: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html #GNU #Linux #freesoftware In our latest update on the Freedom Ladder campaign, we're sharing what we learned in our mission to create introductory free software resources that keep people moving forward to full software freedom. https://u.fsf.org/3h9 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 then to join the FSF! Support #FreeSoftware. https://fsf.org  @fsf It's kind of ridiculous all these "smart" devices. It's easier to f*** with you by supposedly being your friend than your enemy. Amazon makes many people think it's their friend. It isn't. It's everyone's enemy. Big techs nailed it with this idea. A testimonial from a new FSF member: "The world, especially in its current state needs advocacy of the Free Software principles more than ever. I joined to help advocate that cause."

If they did it in their city, your city can do it too! | Read more at: https://u.fsf.org/3m9 @fsf This thing is actually not a success, it's a disaster... Pardus was in an independent base called PiSi from 2005-2006 to 2011, then because of stupid mistakes and stupid reasons in tubitak management (for example, the touch of smart boards in schools, etc.). thinking that the construction of their drivers was "too much") they copied the lmde and changed the lmde inscriptions, added the pardus ++ @fsf It's ridiculous, that is, while dozens of people "develop" Pardus, only two or three people develop PISI. And despite this, solus forks and uses suan PISI's application market.
