Those of us who still understand and care about #softwareFreedom aren't easy to fool, corrupt, and bribe. We fight on.

#suse as a #marketing company and #ProprietarySoftware reseller means that for #softwareFreedom we need to look elsewhere. SUSE"s CEO also slandered the founder of #freesw

Microsoft Staff Trying to Subvert the Freedom of Gemini (Without Disclosure of the Paymaster)

Looking back at the past couple of years, it seems like Microsoft staff and boosters were more than eager to steer developers away from freedom and into Microsoft's cage

In order to attain full control of one’s computer or computing a prerequisite is #SoftwareFreedom (it’s not everything; but that’s a start!) and companies that leverage Linux and sometimes #GNU / #Linux harm us http://techrights.org/2022/01/29/a-future-we-must-resist/

A Future We Must Resist: Forcing Workers and Pupils/Students to Purchase Computers With Spyware and Run That Spyware at Home

Free Software is Greener

Software Freedom is the only way to properly tackle environmental perils through reuse and recycling; the mainstream media never talks about it because it wants people to "consume" more and more products

We’re meant to think that #Pluton is nothing to worry about because it hasn’t yet been turned on by default (or the ability to turn it off hasn’t been obstructed yet); this is another massive attack by Microsoft on #softwarefreedom , contrary to what #Microsoft apologists try to tell us http://techrights.org/2022/01/09/ppp-traitors/

Pluton Proponents Working for Plutocracy (and Pentagon Agenda)

#google (Gulag) does not attack #linux itself (Gulag engineers use #gnu and Linux) but it attacks #freesw or #softwareFreedom ... which is likely even worse

In some sense, #freesw won't win. It already won. In some sense/s. It's everywhere. But with it we've not seen #softwareFreedom ushered in. It's being piggybacked and exploited, leveraged to do oppressive things. First step towards resolution (to properly address this) is educating the public. #corporateMedia won't help us. We need advocacy.

The era of clumsy, inefficient and insecure (by design) computing has left a door open to alternatives, which aren’t just cheaper but also better; it’s good news for #GNU /#Linux , but not necessarily for #softwarefreedom because much work remains to be done • Techrights ⚓ http://techrights.org/2022/01/05/waning-microsoft-empire/ gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/01/05/waning-microsoft-empire/

Software Freedom Makes the World a Greener Place, Too

We probably need to improve our messaging along the lines of energy consumption and rejection of planned obsolescence in advocacy of free-as-in-freedom software

The concept of #softwarefreedom inside cars has become a distant fantasy; the #cars that are being manufactured nowadays disregard security and embrace unnecessary complexity • Techrights ⚓ http://techrights.org/2021/12/24/unnecessary-complexity-in-cars/ ䷉ #Techrights #FreeSW | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/12/24/unnecessary-complexity-in-cars/

Intel has boosted their commitment to Blender as a Corporate Patron

Intel was already a pretty high backer of the free and open source 3D creation suite Blender but now they're going in for even more as a Corporate Patron.

#techrights would NOT be first to uncover what cars do to #softwareFreedom but we're preparing relatively comprehensive summaries
