We can't believe we need to say this, but…
your files are yours.
The #Inkscape project will never peek at your files, and what's yours stays on your computer.
Pixelfed exists today because of @nlnet's vital support since 2019.
Their grants helped build our ethical photo-sharing platform from the ground up.
The EU must continue funding #FreeSoftware projects, as we have proven, they can be hugely popular and shift the control back to the people, where it belongs.

It was a huge honour for me today with Raphael to posthumously hand over the European #SFSAward 2024 to #vim developer Bram Moolenaar for his invaluable contributions to the #FreeSoftware community.
If you are a #vim user, have been an #vim user, or admire Bram's work, please boost this message.
Build local networks with decentralised solutions that are #OpenSource #FreeSoftware and based on #OpenStandards not because you want to fight BigCorp, but because you want to help your neighbours. Focus on solutions, not on problems you can't really solve. Build bridges, not walls. Deal?
