The FSF announced it received two major contributions totaling around $900,000 USD.

"It proves that software freedom is recognized more and more as a principal issue today, at the core of several other social movements people care about like privacy, ownership, and the right to repair."

Today is my birthday! 🎈

I would like it if you could/would make a donation to a cause you care about.

The causes that motivate me to make the world a better place are ones that involve either protecting the environment, social justice, people in Gaza and Ukraine, feeding the hungry, reading programs, anti-ai groups, the Fediverse, and open-source technology.
