I'm still concerned but the Python Software Foundation's post about the #EU's Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA) makes me optimistic that it could work for #FreeSoftware. I do agree with the core idea that #commercial #software companies should be held more accountable than they currently are. The key is getting it just right so that anyone can write whatever free software they feel like writing, and share it on the internet, without having to get a lawyer first.

We have #FreeSoftware replacements for most of these services but maintaining these services has recurring cost and effort.

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.
I went on to write:
>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.
While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

Iāve spent a long, long time thinking about ethical software, the challenges we *necessarily* give ourselves compared to closed competitors, and crucially, how to overcome those challenges.
Four and a half years ago, I wrote:
>respecting your privacy is the ethical thing to do; users have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from companies and products they trust.
Thatās as true as ever.

With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste!
Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life.
Software can determine how long a device remains in use.
Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin.
Software freedom means hardware freedom.

Because it is completely #FreeSoftware.
Because I don't have to pay for its full version.
Because it is no Cloud stuff.
Because it is fully GDPR-compliant, while MSh*it isn't.
Because it is simpler to use LibreOffice than doing everything in #LaTex.
The #LibreOffice suite is one of my most important tools since my school days. You helped me to reach university.
Hoping to make the list with my first patch which I've just confirmed to be fully operational!
Was looking forward to a smoother all-#FOSS paper writing workflow with @zotero and @libreoffice, am now also looking forward to getting some cool stickers š
