When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

That said, you don't need huge powerful but complex tools like #darktable or #rawtherapee to make your photos look better. Imagine a simple to use app that lets you do basic stuff on the phone, like white balance or contrast correction, which could then take its time exporting at full res with all the heavy noise reduction algos without annoying the user while taking photos.

Does that sound like something you'd like to work on? 😁

I am on an impromptu trip to an unfamiliar area due to a family emergency, and my rental car had no navigation built in. This meant I truly needed to depend on live turn-by-turn GPS navigation in Pure Maps on my Librem 5 for the first time.

It actually worked great! I packed a car vent magnetic mount and I was able to route to various destinations, reroute automatically, and otherwise use it like you'd expect.

Shira Ovide of Washington Post for her story about how switching from #Gmail to #ProtonMail

@kyle I feel like that's a good reminder for experts (in FOSS, etc) too: Approving and praising good work by beginners helps them significantly. Don't just focus on the bad stuff!

Today
* Reddit ends free API access.
* Twitter turns off anonymous reading.
* Youtube is talking about banning ad-blocking users.

The tech industry was living on cheep money and low interest rates, and now they're all afraid to let their precious content get used for AI training.

The walls are going up, the lawful corporate web is collapsing in on itself.

"While code-generating AI systems like CoPilot have emerged as a powerful tool for professional developers, there are growing legal and ethical concerns around the development of these models." Mark your calendar for this upcoming online talk. More info: https://u.fsf.org/3z5
