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).

Foxfire, an anthro fox, looks at you with a big open mouth smile. He's holding a banner with text saying "live, laugh, libre." Small hearts appear on either side of him. This is a pun based on free software and the phrase "live, laugh, love."
