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

Hi K-9 Mail community! This is a reminder that we'll be retiring this account next month, when K-9 Mail transforms into #Thunderbird for #Android.

🔴 Today on #SystemCrafters Live, we'll investigate a few options for improving the IRC experience so that more people might be able to join us there! The Matrix Libera.Chat bridge shutdown has been pretty tragic, let's try to address that.

Also, today we're experimenting with streaming *ONLY on Twitch*! No YouTube stream today. Let me know what you think!

@worldsendless I've seen some creative works that aren't software given GPL style licenses. However, licenses such as the #CreativeCommons ones tend to be more widely used for a variety of reasons. Was very impressed with Lawrence Lessig's book which talks about the Creative Commons and mentions Free Software as an inspiration: https://www.feedbooks.com/book/2750

Though this isn't a tech-centric instance, I thought I would share a small #babashka / #clojure project I created. It is a #terminal based animation showing outgoing connections as drops. This is as close to #genart as I'm going to get :)

Possibly life-changing insights into viewing our world
