What will happen in the movement for #softwarefreedom this year? It is hard for me to make such predictions. What the past 20 years working for the @fsfe have taught me is to be prepared for the things you cannot predict.

Read about what we imagine for #2048 (T - 23 years):

Thank you Victor ❤️

It was a huge honour for me today with Raphael to posthumously hand over the European #SFSAward 2024 to #vim developer Bram Moolenaar for his invaluable contributions to the #FreeSoftware community.

If you are a #vim user, have been an #vim user, or admire Bram's work, please boost this message.

@victorhck It least it is the answer to questions

* what number assembles my cuffs?
* what is my seat number on the ICE today?

😉

Just sitting down in my seat no 42 on the train, after wearing my beloved 42 cuffs during the #YH4F ceremony 🥰

Celebration here at the #LibreOffice conference 2024. Happy birthday @libreoffice

Do you know organisations that offer programming workshops for children / teenagers in Europe (and that are again active after the lockdowns)?

If so, please let me know.

If not can you please boost to reach more people with the question?

Thank you!

Thanks to all the contributors of the @torproject and all individuals and organisations who run #TOR (exit) nodes, enabling people around the world to defend themselves against tracking and surveillance and to circumvent censorship. Which for many people still means = you protect their lives! ❤ #ilovefs #nt
