Happy I love free software day! It snuck up on me while I was doing other projects, but here's a silly drawing I made today in Krita!

There are so many incredible projects out there which help countless people be empowered in their computing. Many thanks to all of the developers and web hosts, which allow folks like myself to stay away from proprietary and predatory corporations.

I don't have nearly enough characters, but here's several projects I've been using often. Thanks to everyone on the Fediverse (particularly Lemmy, Mastodon, and Peertube for me, as well as apps such as Voyager and Fedilab), KDE (especially Krita and Kdenlive), the mountain of people responsible for several GNU/Linux distros, GrapheneOS, F-Droid, Freesound, Matrix, LibreOffice, instruments using the SFZ standard (especially VCSL keys), and DAWs (LMMS, and Zrythm).

I didn't know Free Software Day was a thing, but I'm glad it is! I recently started using Krita for digital art, and it's been amazing. There is so much cool software that I use almost daily, it'd be hard to make a list, and I'm so grateful for all the people who keep these projects alive and who use their limited time and money to provide an alternative to big tech <3

That's wonderful to hear! I think it being so hard to make a list is part of why it's a thing, so that different people can all positively talk about different projects that help them, and even just about developing free software in general. It's just nice to hear you're appreciated, and they absolutely are!
