... because:

• Independence: No one has control over what I watch, what I use, and how I use it.

• Technology: Super performances, ability to script almost everything, usage of standards.

• Transparency: It's open-source, you can investigate any part.

• Control of my data/privacy: I don't want companies to influence my behavior through targeted ads.

Désolé de faire le correcteur. Je crois que tu voulais dire through et pas threw ?
@Zekovski Oh merci c'est sympa. Je les confonds souvent ces deux là. Corrigé :blobcatheart:
it's like owning a car and you can change whatever you want and people will help you with that, whereas if it is not open source you only get to drive if for certain time and you cannot change anything. you can only complain. :oh_no: :oh_no:
Have you tried KDE 5.27?
@tristen Hey, I guess it will be part of the update I'll receive in the coming weeks on Fedora 37 KDE. I'm sure I'll love the tiling and the multi-slot color-picker widget.
I miss a little and cute GNU in that drafts... but I like a lot that draw! Thanks a lot for your artwork!
@victorhck Thanks! Oh yes, I saw it when I posted the drawing (it was a pretty short time budget to make the drawing and launch, especially on Valentine's day). You'll find it written on the image alt description text.
love the piece, and of course love free software 😊
@hj ... nor also so many... Too long to list all them :blobcatheart:
This is such an adorable picture! 🥰
لوگوی GNU کجاست؟!
@sudo Hey, mea culpa, I forgot it. While drawing this art, I used my KDE Plasma kickoff menu to get an idea of the software I wanted her to draw. You'll find GNU noted in the image description.
@sudo Oh sure, the rotation of the logo is a bit random and could be improved. Thanks for noticing.
❤️😊
This is beautiful! 😍
I just found this game called #Holocure, it's a game like #VampireSurvivprs

It plays on PC and supports controller play, and it's #FreeSoftware (at least for now)
@kinyutaka Hey, thanks for sharing, it looks indeed free but not published under a license that will perpetually make the software free (and I can't test, no Linux release).
The Free Software I love (eg. Krita/Kdenlive) is "Free/Libre and Open Source" (but English often simplifies it to "Free"). They are published with a license that constrains all contributors to open the code and make it available, all the time. It gives to users a lot of freedom and benefits.
I had a feeling there were caveats, but I just wanted to share.
Troooooop bien. J'adore !
Wallpaper ? 🥺🥺🥺
Pleeeeeease.

@maja Merci ☺️
J'ai chargé la source en haute résolution (étendu en 16/9) ici: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/comissions__2023-02-14_Kiki-loves-free-software_by-David-Revoy.html (un click dessus pour avoir la version pleine résolution, le fichier Krita est, si besoin sous le bouton "Sources et License" )
Royal, Merci 😘
This is so, so beautiful 😍
david I love your works for Krita, but have you considered the exitence of Xenia the fox?
@efi Thanks!
Yes, Xenia is a very interesting character, I had this bookmark: https://xenia-linux-site.glitch.me/ , and what prevented me was about her uncertain license. It's very hard to find. I wish Alan Mackey was around somewhere to communicate the license once for all of his creation.
I made that site! because Xenia has not been used in any copyrighted product and Alan stated that it can be used freely, it is considered effectively public domain or CC0; there are no constraints in the use of the character for any purpose, cheers! ❤
now that you mention it, I forgot to update the site with this! I'll reach out to Alan so he can publish a statement officially
@efi @efi Oh, thanks for this website. Very well made, I really like the impact of the background color and layout as a timeline. That was my best source along with https://furbooru.org/tags/xenia+%28linux+fox%29 .

Good news about the CC-0/PD license and asking Alan; that would really unlock an artwork project I had in mind 😉 .
don't tell, but there's like another 50% more fanart I need to upload since the last update, there's so much art aaaaa ;u;
it has been decided that from now on Xenia will have a CC0 license as nobody can prove ownership other than Alan himself and that's the license he has decided; I'll update the website within a few days, but I wanted to let you know, specifically =D
@efi That's an amazing news Efi! Thank you so much for getting this precious info :blobcatheart:
this is a lovely pic!
im sad to say there are a few that I have forgotten what logos those are.
