FSF Announces Photo Contest Honoring 40 Years of Free Software (fsf.org) 9
The Free Software Foundation announced a special photography contest honoring its 40th anniversary:
The technology we use every day has changed dramatically since our founding nearly forty years ago, including the way we interact with it... We're incredibly grateful for the countless hours that developers and users have put into the free software programs that exist today. Without all the people who cared enough to make and use software that respects the four freedoms four decades or even a year ago, we wouldn't have much to celebrate.
We want to honor the hard work that has gone into free software and its development with the FSF40 Photo Contest. Starting on August 14, 2025, we're inviting free software supporters worldwide to share how they use free software on a daily basis. While we can think of hundreds of ways that free software can be used, there's almost certainly many of you who have thought of much more creative ways to involve libre software every day!
Shortly after the photo contest closes on August 31, 2025, we will invite you and other free software supporters to vote for your favorite of the #FSF40Photos... We will be displaying the winning photos at our fortieth [anniversary] celebration in Boston, MA on October 4, 2025 — we hope you get to see them on a big screen with us!
Earlier this month the FSF also shared 40 links from around the FSF and GNU sites "that give a sense of what we've been doing all this time as we work for your freedom." (For example, 2007's announcement of the GNU General Public License, version 3.)

C'mon, man.
Just because RMS got thrown out of MIT over Minsky who visited Epstein Island doesn't mean vice president Vance ever had relations with it.

His beard. That thing must be long as hell 40 years without shaving or taking a shower can you imagine?

I won't flog the dead horse (CSB) in detail, but I think the thing they most needed 40 years ago was a viable economic model.
(I wonder if I could get a Funny mod point if I could find the email discussion I had with rms on the CSB topic? Must have been around 20 years ago. He didn't like the idea, but my fuzzy recollection is that he actually asked an extremely useful question about it. Without really perceiving what he was asking about?)
Down with censor trolls with mod points, but I am vaguely curious what part of that offended them so much...
