👋 Hello! GNU Guix is on @hachyderm - yay!
If you haven't heard of #gnu #guix we're a free software project that's created a hosted package manager (think homebrew or flatpak) and a GNU/Linux distribution.
GNU Guix uses the functional packaging approach pioneered by #nix and adds a user-experience and system configuration system. It uses a DSL that's based on Guile Scheme. You can use it configure your home environment, dev environments or the entire system using a declarative and transactional definition.
We hope to tell people about the project and our latest news. We'd love to engage with people around #freesoftware #guile #scheme and more general #linux topics!

I just realized that I've been using Syncthing and have never donated. Done! Other recent donations to essential orgs and #FreeSoftware builders/maintainers:
EFF (membership, first time)
Mint Linux
Trisquel Linux
Signal
Wikipedia
Ozark Regional Library (my peeps!!)
PBS
Upcoming:
The Document Foundation/LibreOffice
FSF
InternetArchive
Except for memberships I only donate $5 at a time but do this several times a year for each one as much as I can afford.
You?

Apple's recent support of fascism in the US highlights that there's never been a better time to adopt and support #FreeSoftware. I truly believe better, more ethical computing is to be found in the #GNU #Linux operating system that fully respects the #privacy and #freedom of users.
You may not be able to switch your OS but you can begin adopting the software and better privacy practices.
Tomorrow I'll be celebrating (virtually) 40 years of software freedom with @fsf

To respect myself and my ethics I needed to quit #Apple in February after 30 years of using their devices and services. It required effort but I was able to migrate 99% of my work to #FreeSoftware and #GNU #Linux. I'll keep my original Apple hardware for many years to run three apps one client requires me to use (Affinity).
It's a choice to buy the newest iPhone or other new Apple hardware. It's also a choice to continue using their services while making no effort to switch.
We're fundraising for GNU Guix and looking for donations.
The project is entirely funded by our individual supporters - there's no corporate dollars here - so we need everyone's help
We're looking for donations to sustain and strengthen the project:

And, if you can help by donating:

Donations through #FSF or Guix Foundation.
Thanks to everyone who takes part!

"Plenty of room at the bottom (of the tech stack)
Freedom or safety: choose one. This is the false bargain we were offered after 9/11, the ideology underpinning the PATRIOT Act and the (permanent) suspension of human rights. This ideology has metastasized out of the realm of airport security theater and mass surveillance, ossifying into a bedrock axiom about technology design itself..."

My ongoing effort to de-Apple the iPad
As someone who had come to prefer using an iPad for all of my computing the switch to GNU/Linux was an unexpected turn but one that has been far better than expected. Delightful even. But, seven months in, a laptop is still a laptop with a permanently attached keyboard and no multi-touch screen. There's no denying it, I have missed the experience of using a detachable touch screen computer...
