Free Software Foundation Europe💥 FSFE Legal Corner!!!💥📣 Restrictions on our Freedom to Study Software: A Legal Case Study from PolandSoftware is a major component of modern life, affecting large parts of our lives. When software is embedded in vehicles, the ability to control our digital technology becomes even more important in the name of public safety. Despite that, a recent court case in Poland highlights how the law, and legal processes, can sometimes work against that.<a href="https://fsfe.org/news/2025/news-20250407-01.en.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fsfe.org/news/2025/news-20250407-01.en.html</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SoftwareFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareFreedom</a>

Jason SelfFolks, in today's world, we all love keeping up with technology, but I just realized my toaster's got WiFi and I still get buffering issues with my breakfast! I mean, I asked it for toast, and suddenly it's asking me to accept cookies? Next thing you know, it'll be trying to upsell me on a premium bread subscription. I'm just saying, maybe my morning ritual doesn't need a firmware update, just a smear of jam. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SoftwareFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareFreedom</a>

Jason SelfA moment of silence for zunyi - the computer named for the city where Mao secured leadership in 1935. A Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L running libreboot (back when it was still free), zunyi served as my backup server. I saw it was off and wouldn’t turn back on. I disassembled and cleaned it, swapped the PSU - then a loud electrical SNAP! A strange smell. I unplugged it fast. No more risks. zunyi is retired.
