| schestowitz[TR2] | ""On March 16, Richard M. Stallman (also known as RMS) turned 72! 🎂🥂 | Mar 18 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Richard Stallman founded GNU in September 1983 as a project to develop a free (libre) operating system. Since then, the free software movement has kicked off and continues to this day. | Mar 18 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In the early days of this movement, Stallman formulated the criteria for free (libre) software. It must provide its users with the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Stallman even came up with the concept of copyleft, which uses the principles of copyright law to preserve the right to use, modify, and distribute free software. | Mar 18 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | On February 25, 1989, the first version of the GNU General Public License was released, giving legal strength to the free software movement. And before that, on March 22, 1987, Stallman released the first version of the GNU C Compiler (GCC), which gave technical strength to the free software movement. For example, thanks to GCC, the Linux kernel became possible. | Mar 18 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ⚠️ Do not confuse the terms Free Software and Open Source. The focus of Free Software on user rights and freedom, rather than just technical aspects, makes it a more philosophical and ideological movement. | Mar 18 05:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 📖 Steven Levy in his book says that Richard Stallman is the Last of the Hackers, who vowed to defend the principles of hackerism to the bitter end. | Mar 18 05:25 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>A major update to GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) has arrived today. GIMP 3.0 has been finalized and released to relieve GIMP 2.10 from its duty as the premier free and open source image editing software for multiple platforms. We only recently crowned GIMP the standard for free image editors in a comprehensive comparison article. Now with version 3.0 hitting mainstream, it might become | Mar 18 11:53 |
