💕 “I Love Free Software Day" 2026 is fast-approaching!
Built by people who share their time, skills, passion and care, they make software free for the world to enjoy. On Saturday, February 14th, we join the @Free Software Foundation Europe ( #FSFE) in celebrating them!

Bravo to the Spanish Supreme Court for its Sept 2025 decision establishing four important principles: "[1] Access to source code can be needed to verify automated government decisions;
[2] “Intellectual property rights” do not automatically block transparency; [3] Security concerns must be balanced against democratic accountability; and [4] Transparency is especially critical for systems affecting social rights."

💻🌍 Digital sovereignty might sound big — but it’s really about taking control of the tech that shapes our lives. It’s important for young people to learn that technology doesn’t have to be a black box — it’s something you can understand, explore, and even build yourself!
That’s why I love :fsfe: @fsfe’s "Youth Hacking 4 Freedom" — a coding competition for teens (14–18) across Europe. The next round kicks off on January 1, 2026 🚀
If you’re into coding, creativity, and shaping the digital future, this is your chance to shine!

I learned from #FSFE (https://fsfe.org/activities/android/liberate.en.html#OS) that #LineageOS and #GrapheneOS are Libre and Ethical replacement to Android. However recently I found that #GNU (https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html) recognize them as non endorsable! Any idea about this discrepancy?
#OpenWashing has become a growing issue in the Free Software community. Many companies claim to be working on “Open Source” or “Free Software” while distributing proprietary software products.
We at the @fsfe would like to learn more about current market practices, and we need your help!
Please share your views and experiences on openwashing here:

Please spread the word, any input is welcome!
I have created an event on the Devon Connect website to try and promote I love free software day on 14/2/2026. If anyone is in Devon (or elsewhere), could get in touch with DevonConnect and suggest they add support for social networks such as those on the Fediverse it would be really helpful.
I have contacted them about this, but it needs more people to do that, to create a demand for that.
Thanks
