@Coneng Well, it's not fully FOSS, it's stuck on Qt 5.6, it's written for Libhybris and parts of it (namely the email app) still don't render anything on a Mesa stack, ... I like Sailfish OS a lot (see https://linmob.net/videos/#sailfish-os), but there's more than one issue to not be like "Yeah, let's use this, it's perfect."

Polish university student Wojciech Kosior shares his story of how he managed to graduate without being forced to use Zoom, Skype, or other nonfree programs: https://u.fsf.org/3bv

Well? Would you like a little #insight? If you look very close, there is at least the name of our #newcomer! ;) #exciting #Soon

Videos from #LibrePlanet 2021 are now live! https://u.fsf.org/3bn Watch them on our Peertube page at https://framatube.org/accounts/fsf/ or on GNU MediaGoblin at https://media.libreplanet.org/.

While the FSF is committed to ongoing improvements to governance (see https://u.fsf.org/3bi), we're going to resume using this space for free software news. We hope to be able to announce increased transparency and positive changes soon. Thank you for your patience.

With every coming year, the threat of nonfree software grows, and that's why every donation to the FSF is precious. #ThankGNU to the Aqua Hill Foundation and the Aram Rae Family for your generosity! https://u.fsf.org/398

A brand new episode is ready for your ears. From VR gaming to firmware, from server rabbit holes to the infamous "Pull Request 835," this one is massive!

Fighting for freedom isn’t gratis, and we depend on the generosity of donors including Johannes Truschnigg and Michael Taht to fuel the FSF. #ThankGNU to you all! https://u.fsf.org/398

the news about #mozilla elicits 2 thoughts in me

the first one is we should get used to pay for #freesofware

we say free as in freedom, not as in beer and we should put our money where our mouths are

I sent 6 euros in 2 years to the #Wikimedia foundation

We should do the same with #Gnome and other resources

Not the kernel because that one is well covered by evil corps

The second hought is... (continues)

the second thought is that the panorama is getting more and more complicated

the web of relationships between organizations and trends in tech is really hard to navigate

We'd need some graphs of who funds what in FLOSS

Whi funds the kernel and how much, who funds the gcc and how much, who funds Rust and how much, who funds Gnome and how much, who funds the browser and how much

etc...

without knowing what's going on it's hard to decide what you want to contribute to

@fsf
My favorite talks of that conference were:

@rlafuente and https://twitter.com/aiscarvalho were celebrating 10 years of Manufactura Independente:

@davidrevoy was presenting how essential free software is in design like comics:
