Thank you for all of the great news summaries, investigations and steadfast advocacy of software freedom. The news links are almost always informative and uplifting. There’s no other site that covers as broadly and thoroughly as Techrights does. The investigations pull things together well and is always well documented with good evidence. The bright and shining reality of free software and the depravity of those who oppose it, are powerful advocacy of software freedom.

I am glad you find that handy. That’s why I carry on publishing the news summaries.

Wow! Four years? Congratulations! I know it’s been a lot of hard work, but you’ve done a great job! (and I agree with the first comment, the news link pages are excellent!)

Technically, I was advocating GNU/Linux well before this project. It has been fun work, not hard work.

Fun and work can be the same. Too many people don’t realize that, and make themselves miserable.
Glad you’re having fun while doing the work though, makes it a lot easier to get started on the next column, doesn’t it? I just love taking a position that’s miles outside what everyone is thinking, and arguing it, preferably with a nice inflammatory headline. There’s nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning. Ahh.

Well, but in this case it’s not work for income.
