I realized the 60th anniversary of #StarTrek is coming up on Sept 8, 2026 - only 363 days away! By my count, there's 725 episodes of TOS/TAS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT plus 10 movies. Maybe I'll go watch them all in broadcast order. If I start now and watch ~2 episodes a day (plus the films), I could finish everything right on time for the big day. After that... will I dive into the reboot/expansion era? Not sure about that stuff... #AllStarTrek
@npub1q2dr...wqyh your vision and perseverance in founding the Free Software Movement and the #GNU Project have empowered countless people to take control of their computing. Your relentless advocacy has shaped the world for the better. Thank you for inspiring us to stand up for software freedom, today and every day! 👏 #ILoveFS #FSF #GNU #SoftwareFreedom #FreeSoftware
Trump's inaugural speech called for unity, yet declared the government will only recognize 2 genders. How can unity exist when you deny people’s very identities? Real unity starts with recognizing people for who they are. #LGBTQ #Equality #LGBTQIA+ #TransRights #Trump

The #Seattle City Council has confirmed me as a Commissioner on the Seattle #LGBTQ Commission. I want to thank Mayor Bruce Harrell for the confidence in me, the full City Council for the support and confirmation, and the Seattle Office for Civil Rights for their work and dedication. I look forward to serving the community and advancing #LGBTQIA+ rights in Seattle. Do you live or work in Seattle? What should the Commission be addressing? Let me help amplify your voice! My DMs are open.
Disheartened by the announcement of the OpenWrt One. A device specifically designed to run OpenWrt requires proprietary software for the WiFi to function. Even more disappointing to see @npub103fl...kaf3 promoting this without mentioning the blatant software freedom issues, focusing instead on "repairability" and GPL compliance - except for the WiFi. This would not meet the @Free Software Foundation RYF criteria. I wonder if the goal is to see how low the bar can go? #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #OpenWrt
Today's a National Day of Mourning in the United States, a time to remember the genocide of millions of Native Americans, the theft of their lands, and the destruction of their cultures. Let's take a moment to reflect on this painful history and support Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Learn more:

Good day, #Mastodon! You know who's having a great day? The folks over at the #GNU Project. They're out there, tirelessly ensuring our digital freedoms. It's like a #StarTrek episode, where they're the #Federation fighting for the prime directive of #SoftwareFreedom! Sure, the #Borg of proprietary tech might have more shiny gadgets, but we all know how that ends. #FreeSoftware
