So I feel like I finally made a hands-on contribution to a #FreeSoftware project:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dillo/-/issues/3
I found out that #dillo in Arch Linux can't browse IPv6 sites as the support is not explicitly compiled in. Rather than discussing it here, I decided to go straight to the maintainer's repo with the fix.
I feel happy, even if a little silly for some reason. I never did a technical commentary like this before, and if it gets merged it's my first real contribution to a project!
We just launched the Silent #FreeSoftware Memorabilia Auction. The first ten items are now open for bidding: https://u.fsf.org/466 This is your chance to get your very own personal souvenir of the FSF, from original GNU art to plush gnus that have been greeting visitors in the lobby of the FSF office for years and the very same VT220 that sat on the FSF's front desk.
I will be giving a talk on #Prav this Saturday in #BiharFOSS, organized by @fossunited .For more details, check

It would be nice to see you there

New versions of #Windows might change the UI or underlying components, but they don't change the only thing important to know about Windows: it's nonfree software. Choose software that actually respects its users instead. https://u.fsf.org/3eu #FSF #FreeSoftware

Say goodbye to the inkjet printer from HP, that customer-hostile scandal company, and say “Hello!” to the multifunction color laser printer from Brother!
Oh boy, by far the most expensive printer I've ever bought. But worth every penny.
