I think that's a very good point to keep in mind. Free software has quite some overlap with upcycling or fixityourself movement (think about RMS and some laser printer). For example, without free software millions of 'IOT' devices will turn into zombies producing a horrible amount of waste. Without free software BIOS you cannot replace many parts of notebooks etc. Best wishes Michael Hi Kurtis, _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
