We developed a method to continue posting to Twitter, so you can expect to learn more about free software in the coming months, even when connected only to Twitter. We'll continue our policy of posting to both Twitter and Mastodon simultaneously, of which we recommend the latter.

Right to Repair for tractors has now passed both the House and Senate in Colorado. It's surreal, honestly, massive win for our long-term efforts. I have to admit I thought farm equipment would be one of the last industries to get #RightToRepair 1/

Recent changes to #Twitter's developer agreement imply they may soon ban third-party clients from posting to the service. We value our freedom too much to run their nonfree software and our followers shouldn't be required to either. Find us at @[email protected] on #Mastodon
