Have you ever considered the work that goes into sending an email to @gnu.org? The FSF tech team makes sure millions of emails get delivered each year, and has taken the time to explain the road your email travels in freedom. http://u.fsf.org/3gz

The "Respects Your Freedom" certification program encourages the creation and sale of hardware that will do as much as possible to respect your freedom and your privacy, and will ensure that you have control over your device. https://u.fsf.org/3g0 Are you still stuck using proprietary software to talk to your coworkers and loved ones?

FSF's licensing & compliance associate, Craig Topham, gives his report in a new article, hot off the press! Read it at: https://u.fsf.org/3mk Support #UserFreedom Ok, we are wrapping up now. Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in "Mastodon Hour" (and, yes, we hear those who have suggested other names, and will take your feedback into consideration, but for today, that is what we called it...) ✌️ Hiya folks, we are getting some questions about GNU Social. You can follow FSF at https://status.fsf.org/fsf It's the end of the hour. Any final thoughts re: "Helping others find their reason to support free software" or the other topics? #UserFreedom Two of the FSF staff's favorite ways to unwind are NetHack and racing each other in typing speed games. That isn't even a joke. Does anyone have any ideas for how to better "Help others find their reason to support free software?" (The theme of our spring fundraiser, which ends EOD today.) Or, are there any campaigns the FSF is currently doing that you think do a good job of "helping others find their reason to use/support free software?" @fsf The Freedom Ladder (https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Freedom_Ladder) campaign, first announced a year ago today (https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/the-journey-begins-with-a-single-step-climb-the-freedom-ladder), is directly relevant of course. I'd found these meeting notes interesting/helpful: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Freedom_Ladder/Understanding_nonfree_software_meeting#Step_2._Finding_your_own_reason_to_use_free_software @fsf There are lots of enthusiasts who like to customize their systems down to the core which only free software can do efficiently. But the thing is they are most likely already using GNU/Linux and so campaigning to them is not really worthwhile Welcome, welcome, WELCOME to Mastodon Hour!!! This was first announced on https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/flock-over-to-mastodon-on-july-8-for-an-interactive-session and is our very first time hosting such an event. During this time, you may communicate via reply to our toots, mention us in a new thread, or direct message, and we will be available to respond in real-time.

@fsf How's Richard Stallman? Is he feeling good? Just sort of care a little for the man. @fsf I really enjoyed the last bulletin's piece on the phrase "industry standard" in education.  The hour is upon us! It's Mastodon Hour time (16:00 EDT [20:00 UTC]), where the campaigns team will be making ourselves available to discuss certain topics in real time. Read more at: https://u.fsf.org/3mb Flock on over right now for a chat! Hey @fsf, this is a neat way to help spread the word about the Fediverse, as well as helping folks find their reason(s) for supporting free/libre software. 🙂 I use #freesoftware because it's the only kind of software that makes sense to me and helps empower people and give them #userfreedom, and I support free software and participate in its development because I would like others to have and be able to enjoy in their lives the same computing freedoms that I've been fortunate to have in mine. It is the **final day** of the biannual fundraiser. We are currently at $58,139. Fun fact: not a prime number, but its binary equivalent is 1110001100011011. **You** can help us achieve our goal (binary number of 10000010110111000)! https://u.fsf.org/3m4 #UserFreedom  @fsf 01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01100110 00100000 01101001 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 01110100 00100000 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01101101 01101111 01101110 01100101 01111001 00100000 01101111 01101110 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100101 00111111 00100000 01110101 01100111 01101000 00100000 00111011 00101101 00111011 In just one hour, at 16:00 EDT (20:00 UTC), we are hosting a "Mastodon Hour," where the campaigns team will be making ourselves available to discuss certain topics in real time.

@ademalsasa @fsf i think FSF’s mail server is gnu.org, and they screwed the pooch in recent years. I can no longer email FSF because the server became so persnickety that it reject legit msgs.
