What is freedom 1? The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Proprietary control over education is growing and it is affecting student's rights to information. Watch and share "The University of Costumed Heroes" and fight for young people's freedom. https://u.fsf.org/fsfheroes

#Mastodon have released an official statement regarding the #TruthSocial affair: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/trumps-new-social-media-platform-found-using-mastodon-code/

If you don't already know: Donald Trump has launched a social media service based on Mastodon. However, his team didn't comply with Mastodon's licence which orders licensees to publish their forks' code.

This week, Mastodon have sent a letter to Trump's lawyer demanding the publication of Truth Social's source code. If that doesn't happen within a month, the licence may be revoked.

You can view a Mastodon user's public posts with a particular hashtag by adding /tagged/(hashtag) on the end of their public URL:

(account's public URL)/tagged/(tag)

For example, @FediFollows posts with the hashtag #Art can be viewed at:

https://mastodon.online/@FediFollows/tagged/art

You can find the public URL of a Mastodon account by going to its profile and clicking on the avatar image.

This article, on US spy agencies' self-awareness of the legal weakness of their drone-killing program, is the first fresh document I've seen published from the archive in years.

This looks like it produces a global (hash) database of people's iris scans (for "fairness"), and waves away the implications by saying "we deleted the scans!"

Yeah, but you save the *hashes* produced by the scans. Hashes that match *future* scans.

It is crucial to bear in mind that the industry's problem is not data "protection," it is data COLLECTION. Mass surveillance must be recognized as a crime, not a business model. https://t.co/L7Bu9otMWt

Encryption is the foundation of modern security. https://t.co/uiLYjqlR7p

Purism's App Developer, Dorota Czaplejewicz shows how she used PulseAudio to play sounds from the laptop on her #librem5 📢

Insightful. We can't repeat often enough that @mobian , @debian , @postmarketOS , @manjarolinux and others would not be where they are now, without @purism adopting a cooperative upstreaming policy. We would wager that everyone purchasing a (true) Linux device now, benefits from your investments. There is plenty to criticize and nag about you 😝, but you are doing the whole FOSS community a service that could not easily be replicated by volunteers.
