Great question!

Well, I wanted to start from the beginning instead of randomly recommending software.

The bigger point is that I now know more than I knew before about free software and the community. But I didn't want to use this account as it doesn't show much.

That's pretty much why and I hope I answered your question!

Hey everyone!

I would like to announce that this account will be moved to @librebuddys !

I'm still the one behind it so don't worry ;)

Librebuddys will be all about free software and privacy!

Stay Safe!

Hello everyone!

I would like to say I'm so sorry for not tooting for such a long time :((

That is because I have a big increase of homework compared to last year and I'm not much used to it...

Also, a very big change!! I created @librebuddys to spread the message of freedom in technology! It's still being set up though.

But the bigger announcement is that I will no longer use this account and will be using @tommy for my main blog account! It's on LoadAverage(GNU Social node).

Stay Safe!

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat
That is sadly correct...

@glitchyhare

Yes, that's a great idea! Maybe I should ask my principal and teachers to use free alternatives.

And, I already signed the #userfreedom petition and gave some information about my school.

Stay Safe!

@jforseth210
Hmm..

That might not be the worst idea!

But because we are to use Zoom,
it won't help to much.

But don't worry, I'll get it straight since I still have 20 mins.

Stay Safe!

Hey everyone!

It's the first day of online school 7th grade and I'm kinda not happy.

I just woke up a few minutes ago and school still starts in 2 hours.

I am a little rushed since, 1, I really, really, really don't want to install required malware on my computer and I haven't yet did that. 2, I probably can't even install those non-free, DRM-infected, spyware on the OSs I'm using(gnu guix and trisquel gnu/linux).

Welp, let's see how it goes!

Stay Safe!

Hey everyone!

New update out for my toots that is focused on improving readability!

Below is the information!

Example toot below:

----START----

--𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

## 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚0

Good: --𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

Bad: --𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

Note: --𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

## 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚1

Good: --𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

Bad: --𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

Note: --𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

...

## summary

--𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

Evaluated but not recommended:
--𝙨𝙣𝙞𝙥--

----END----

You can see that it is a bit more simple and easy to read than my previous layout.

Stay Safe!

@Wetrix
Thank you!!

I appreciate all your support :))

Hi everyone!

So you might notice that I sometimes delete and redraft my toots(posts).

I just wanted wanted to tell you I do that because I feel like that toot wasn't good enough.

I promise I don't delete and redraft my toots just because I can't think of something to post about.

Also, if you ever have any feedback or questions you can always direct message me! Feel free to chat with me if you want ;)

That's all I wanted to say for now, and,

Stay Safe!

Hey everyone!

Most people use a mobile device each day. But many mobile-OSs don't respect your privacy..

The best approach is to not use a mobile device, but that's not very convenient...

Which is why I have a #libre, #privacy-respecting mobile-OS that you can use daily!

@TheDoctor
Yep!

For this toot, I was just mentioning 3rd party services.

But self-hosting correctly would be the way to go!

@alcinnz
Wow!

That's even better than using any 3rd party services ;)

Hello everyone!

If your a developer, then you likely use a 3rd-party service for your source code repository for your awesome #software!

I'm not really a developer yet, but certainly can't wait to be one!

I would want to use a source code repository service that is #privacy - respecting and #free.

Below I have some I favor!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say, I feel so bad for the people who got laid off by Mozilla.

I already saw that Mozilla was a quite profitable company and yes, they have increased contract time for Proprietary, non privacy respecting companies, such as Google.

They will also focus mainly on developing profitable products such as their VPN.

That's all I wanted to say and,

Stay Safe!

@Mayana
Yep!

I'll continue trying to find more articles and if I find some about Firefox stopping development, I'll Direct message you.

Stay Safe!

@Mayana

That's a bit weird...

I'm sure I saw one or two articles about how Mozilla will stop updating Firefox and possibly change it to become Chromium-based.

Sadly I can't find where I got that from...

I'll redo do the toot since I don't really have the evidence.

Best wishes!

PS.
Sorry for the late response.
