Rachel LevievaHow lovely when sites about free software teach us about freedom… of surveillance. Thank you, It’s FOSS, for staying true to your mission — not a single scroll past your newsletter goes unnoticed. Two trackers per email — I guess that’s for reliability: one spies, the other supervises the spy. It almost feels like every time I open your message, I’m being counted at roll call in some little digital gulag.Reading an article about Linux Mint, but feeling like you just got clocked in at Camp RMS. Free software? Sure. But freedom, It’s FOSS style, is the same kind they promised in Eastern Europe back in the 50s: “You are free to do whatever you want… as long as we log it with a tracking pixel.”So good luck out there, brave FOSS warriors — I’ll go and set up a filter on your newsletter. Just to stay truly free.
