Wow! I Love Free Software Day 2024 in Bergamo has been great 💕
@dario had the pleasure to talk with @kenobit about #SoftwareFredoom and younger generations, the Fediverse and much more.

Thank you @bglug for hosting us and thanks to all of you who made this a special day for #FreeSoftware 🚀

You define a whole category of Linux user on your own. If people can start saying “I use Fedora btw”, it will only be awesome to hear because of you.

Matrix wouldn't be where it is today without the vibrant ecosystem of FOSS clients, bots, bridges, servers, SDKs, and more!

And it's the people who make it all possible.

Please join us in spreading the love on this #ILoveFreeSoftwareDay and give a shoutout to your favorite projects! 💞

#ILoveFreeSoftware, you love #FreeSoftware. Let's get that down. Most of the time you don't even notice that you're using a device running a #Linux kernel, #GNUtils or services like #ApacheWebserver, #Matrix etc. as they just work and don't get in your way; don't bother you reading ancient 📜 #EULA; don't track you ...

But have you ever said thank you to all the contributors supporting the projects and sustaining #SoftwareFreedom?! If not, then today's your lucky day.

Create a sharepic via @fsfe's https://sharepic.fsfe.org/#ilovefs tool and use the #ILoveFS hashtag to show your appreciation. Additionally, spend some time looking up the #Fediverse handle of your favorite projects and mentioned them.

Happy I 🧡 Free Software Day!

Today is the #ILoveFreeSoftwareDay ! I would like to thank the free softwares I use and that I found on the Fediverse.

The main #FreeSoftware I use is my OS. Thanks to #Manjaro and to @archlinux on which Manjaro is based. And to the @linuxfoundation , @gnome and the #Linux ecosystem.

Thanks @mozilla especially for #Firefox and @thunderbird !

Thanks @zaclys which give me access to @nextcloud , which I thank too.

Thanks also (without order) @keepassxc , @lutris , @Mastodon , @voyagerapp , @Tusky , @fdroidorg , @libreoffice , @GIMP , @lagrange , @termux , @element , @matrix , and others I forgot.

All these projects are wonderful projects maintained by wonderful people. Without you, my everyday life would be harder and less interesting. Love you ❤️!
