   Hey #Mastodon! In today's world, software seems to be in EVERYTHING. Your phone, your fridge, even that high-tech "smart" fork you got for Christmas. But here's the real fork in the road: Who controls that software? Big Tech, Big Gov, or Big Brother? Spoiler alert: it's probably not you. #StayInControl with #FreeSoftware https://www.fsf.org/about #SoftwareFreedom @fsf

     @anonicus @fsf Picture this: your "smart" microwave connects to WiFi, downloads cooking apps, and suggests recipes for that leftover food. You want to change things but whoops - you can't: It only takes instructions from its maker. That is why #FreeSoftware is so important. It's not just making sure your gadgets work—it's making sure they work for *you*. So whether you're reheating leftovers or preparing a Michelin-star meal, remember: your software should serve you, not the other way around.
