Are you a developer who has requested, or plans to request, interoperability under the #DMA?
Help us make sure the law empowers users and #FreeSoftware.

Almost Human s01e06 is a troubling demonstration of how the power to control tech that other people depend on, can be abused. Gangsters give people synthetic hearts, programmed to stop at the end of the month unless the transplant recipient pays the demanded subscription.
Continued thread
From the founding of the GNU Project in 1983, through the 1990s and into the 2000s, the main goal of Software Freedom activists was to replace proprietary software on people's computers, with software compiled from Free Code.

To see Zacchae's FOSS cyborg setup revived all my interests."
