You need to read it, but most importantly, those who can actually, factually, change the system, before we're broke, living in a tent next to a mountain of #EWaste, need to read it.

In #Germany, I'm looking at you: @Bundesregierung @BNetzA
@Bundesverband

Wenns auf #Deutsch sein soll, geb einfach Bescheid.

Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.

You can sign it, too!

📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.

Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.

You can read our Open Letter at: do-not-ship.it

If you agree with this letter, you can support it by signing it, see: do-not-ship.it/sign
