The Freedom Ladder campaign aims to support those on a gradual journey to freedom and never resting until all their devices are freed. Share your story today and read others' stories via https://u.fsf.org/3ho Part of our core mission is to advance policies that promote the progress of free software. Copyright handling is critical to such progress, so we are taking this opportunity to delve into the issue, and alternatives.

The full network is called the Fediverse, and these instances can communicate with yours just as well. So I don't think it makes sense to call this "Mastodon hour". This week's Free Software Directory meeting was a smashing success! Check out the progress we've made in our recap, and join us next week: https://u.fsf.org/3ma Every journey begins with that first step. The FSF Licensing and Compliance Lab can help users along that path, while also clearing the way ahead.

Freedom is important to education. Read about freedom-respecting choices at https://u.fsf.org/311  @fsf find it hard to believe that you haven't included the best #FOSS video conferencing tool available, specifically designed for the education context: BigBlueButton - https://bigbluebutton.org @fsf (implying that school admin staff will be intelligent and reasonable enough to understand why said alternatives are better) A great way to fund the GNU Project, and promote computer user freedom at the same time, is by purchasing merchandise from the GNU Press shop.

@fsf I’ve been involved with computers/programming since the early 80s. Some of the BEST software comes from folks who are not only passionate about their work, they share it with others out of pride and desire for input/contribution from others to improve the product. Should you be paid for your work? Sure. That is, if the money is that important to you. Otherwise, fostering goodwill goes a long way toward developing trust, community and a solid customer base for paid software.

I don't want Software freedom rights for the (western) military, the sharpest enemy of any peaceful world order. This is not about freedom, it's naive.
Freedom in capitalism always is the freedom of the capitalist to exploit workers. Let us just don't support the oppressors please.
