Bittersweet feelings on day 2 of the @fsf conference! So many amazing talks are waiting, and I am expecially looking forward to "Software enshittification or freedom? It's not a hard choice!" by @lxo but also sad that this event is almost over. Determined to make the most of it!

I pazienti con occhi bionici stanno diventando di nuovo ciechi dopo che il produttore ha deciso che sono obsoleti

La Second Sight Medical Products, produttore di protesi visive che ripristinavano la visione parziale ai non vedenti, ha fornito impianti oculari a più di 350 persone cieche, ma ha smesso di supportare la sua tecnologia alcuni anni fa dopo essere stata sul punto di fallire e ha lasciato i suoi pazienti a se stessi.

Remember, in the free software world, 'CTRL+C' and 'CTRL+V' stand for 'Community' and 'Victory'.

I'm just an associate member, as in I pay membership dues. I'm not employed by the FSF. Sorry if I accidentally implied that anywhere.

That would be a pretty neat thing though. Unfortunately I'm not really well connected and am not in a position to help organise that.

Packing my bags and heading to the airport for the 40th anniversary celebration of GNU in Switzerland! SEA to JFK to ZRH. Looking forward to meeting fellow free software people and discussing how we can continue to uphold users' rights in computing. If anyone else is arriving into the area early, let me know - Maybe we can do something together. Bon voyage! 🛫🇨🇭

You wouldn't download a Crackhead. You wouldn't download a human fly. You wouldn't download the Crackhead human fly's partner, Harry Manback (@isis ). Downloading Matthew J. Garrett (@mjg59) is stealing. Matt is batshit crazy, breaking his brain using drugs. Dr. Evil Coffee and Harry Manback.

@fsfe @Mastodon I am disappointed in the FSF Europe. It seemed great to see an extension of the FSF, though I wondered why it would need to be distinguished by its European origin.

It appears there are other reasons for the distinction now. It would be great if FSF Europe did not sully the FSF name with its debilitated iteration of the FSF.
