It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

:debian: Advanced installing Debian 12.1 from the Mini ISO on VMware Remote Console: should I choose non-free firmware? Let's try the "No" and hope for the best! 🙏

Configure the package manager
Some non-free firmware has been made to work with Debian. Though this firmware is not at all a part of Debian, standard Debian tools can be used to install it. This firmware has varying licenses which may prevent you from using, modifying, or sharing it.
Please choose whether you want to have it available anyway.
Use non-free firmware?

The free software movement isn't about having an 'alternative' to proprietary software, it's a movement to reject it on ethical grounds. With free software, users have the freedom to control their computing, and that's something worth fighting for! #GNU #FreeSoftware


Content warning: A Prayer to GNU


Happy 70th Birthday to Richard Stallman. RMS started GNU, and launched the free software movement with it. He founded the @fsf and has remained a champion for software freedom over these many decades. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to the cause and for inspiring so many of us to fight for a world where users have control over their computing. Please join me in wishing him a very happy birthday! I'm sure you have his email. 🎉🎂 #HappyBirthday #FreeSoftware #GNU #FSF

Ça fait un moment que ça me trotte dans la tête mais j'ai très envie pendant un an (ou plus ?), sur ma #fedora :fedora:, de n'utiliser que des fonds d'écran de @davidrevoy

P.S : Ce que je fais déjà depuis un moment en fait.
"Challenge" qui ne sert peut-être à "rien" mais que j'aime bien.
