It's been 45 or so years since the free software movement started and hardly 1% of professional programmers make a living by developing free software.
And of those being able to make a living, most are developing "enterprise open-source software" (like Kubernetes, Prometheus etc.) which the general public is never going to use.

In the lobby of the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a huge display is installed of the broken glasses of Chilean President Allende, found after the US-backed coup on September 11, 1973.
As a reminder of the threat US imperialism poses to this day. #NeverForget

"Do not let GAFAM curate the web for you. Curate it yourself. Use RSS feeds."

From the joint protest organized by trade unions today. The women in pink are ASHA workers, frontline Covid warriors on precarious contracts that mark them as 'volunteers' with no benefits and below minimum wage pay.
Ask why this is not viral on mainstream or social media.
