#GNU and the #FSF have been fighting for copyleft the past decades. But if you look at their financial statement, you’ll see that their paid staff are just a dozen people. All the others are volunteers.
The Tor project alone has more employees than the FSF. Github has almost 6000 employees. Six thousand.
So the advocates for #copyleft must be us. We can’t point at the FSF and say “they didn’t do it”. They provide resources. We have to use them to protect our freedom as users.
Did you know that the #FSF has a Friends membership tier? It doesn't have all the benefits of the standard or student associate membership tiers, but it does include the option to receive a USB membership card with #Trisquel #GNU/Linux, an FSF membership badge, access to the member forum, and some other perks, all while supporting #SoftwareFreedom. Read more about the Friends tier: https://u.fsf.org/1m6
Truly free #GNU/Linux distributions like #Dragora, #Trisquel, or #Parabola tend to have fewer contributors but all the same hosting expenses as larger distros. Have you donated to support them yet? https://dragora.org/en/donate.html #FreeSoftware
It works, but can someone explain to me what the ` symbol is for?
and I don't understand either (,v) (,G). Why the , ?

I am not really comfortable with uutils, sadly.
Even thou a rewrite in Rust is a nice idea, and I do like the initiative - I do not like the MIT-licensing at all.
As I start the last book in the Night Watch series I reflect on the fact that it’s been 10 years since Sir Terry Pratchett died. I can’t believe it’s been that long already…
#GNU #TerryPratchett #NightWatch
I have #WordPress set up. Now I just need to #IndieWeb it.
#Ubuntu sostituirà le #GNU coreutils (i programmi di base dei sistemi unix like tipo #Linux, come cp, ls, cd, mkdir ecc.) con delle nuove versioni riscritte in #Rust. Probabilmente le motivazioni tecniche alla base di questa scelta sono anche valide, tuttavia le nuove utilities (chiamate #uutils) avranno una licenza MIT. Contrariamente alla GPL che obbliga chiunque modifica il software a rilasciare il sorgente modificato la MIT consente a chi vuole di rendere proprietarie le versioni modificate

This is the accompanying video regarding the subject
This is how to move a government system from a proprietary software suite to a Free Powerfull OpenSource Suite without telemetry
County DE
Province Schleswig-Holstein
An important aspect is also that the tech giant that they were locked into, is forcing artificial intelligence upon these places, where leaks of information, due to the ridiculous and myticulous telemetry, are an absolute no no
Hard to believe it's already been ten years. GNU Terry Pratchett.
