@fsfe@mastodon.social The article has gifs that play without any user prompting, one of them kind of flashing, even if "reduced motion" is active in the browser. That's a serious accessibility issue (making it extremely hard for me to read, and flashing can trigger some forms of epilepsy), can you get that fixed please? > ask for sustainable long-term funds We should stop begging for tax money and build our own fund by making our companies join initiatives like @copiepublique Reach the @EUCommission to ask for sustainable funding for #freesofware ‼️ As individual, contacting European representatives is helpful to shift opinions. As the allocation of funds for #HorizonEU 2025 is still going on, there is still a chance to get funds available for @EC_NGI Good news!! Feel free to flash / root your device📱 if you live in the EU. It won't void its 2-year warranty!

@fsfe ⚠️Safeguarding the 4 freedoms of #FreeSoftware over OS, drivers, app stores, browsers, and any other software is crucial for freedom of choice & for a healthy, competitive, democratic and sustainable digital environment Have you heard about our 'Software Freedom' podcast? We have now reached 20 episodes! Listen to them all here and deepen your knowledge in #FreeSoftware Developing and re-using Free Software is fun, but dealing with licensing and copyright information is not. The REUSE tool can help to change that. Help us make #FreeSoftware easier for developers & legal professionals! In April’s newsletter we discuss EU proposals affecting #FreeSoftware: the introduction of liability rules for software and the Interoperable Europe Act. #Greece secures #RouterFreedom but excludes fiber connections. 🇳🇱 In de nieuwsbrief van april bespreken we EU-voorstellen die van invloed zijn op Vrije Software: de invoering van aansprakelijkheidsregels voor software en de verordening Interoperabel Europa. Griekenland stelt Routervrijheid veilig maar sluit glasvezelverbindingen uit. 🇮🇹 Nella newsletter di aprile discutiamo delle proposte UE che riguardano il Software Libero: l’introduzione delle regole di responsabilità sul software e la legge sull’Europa interoperabile. La Grecia protegge la Libertà del Router ma esclude la fibra. If we want technology to serve society rather than enslave it Thank you for joining our I Love Free Software party in C-base, Berlin 🤩 | #ilovefs Welcome to @Mastodon and the #fediverse! Are you aware of the rights you should have over software? You should be allowed to: • Use a program for any purpose - without any restrictions on place and time 🌍 • Understand the full code – and know exactly what it does 🔍 • Share and copy the program – developers can collaborate and share publicly their improvements 🎁 • Improve the code – e.g. for personal or local needs 📝 (1/4) Proprietary software intentionally limits the way a program can be used or accessed as well as the rights over the code. This leaves society with little or no say over its technical infrastructure. Control over technology has to be in the hands of the whole society, not just a small group!
