Freedom is circular

I run my business on Free software.

I make money from my business.

Because I do so, I can afford to do free (pro bono) work for Free software projects, and donate to developers and maintainers.

And so it goes round.

AISA aderisce alla lettera aperta del professor Angelo Raffaele Meo, la quale non invita a produrre ulteriori atti normativi, ma semplicemente a far applicare quelli già esistenti.

P.S. Did you know that in some regions of Spain, they gift a rose along with a book today?

Hey #MutualAid community,

 I have autism and struggle with social anxiety, so I’m reaching out today for a bit of mutual aid, if you’re able, please give this post a boost.

It’s a small ask, but I’m working on accepting my social anxiety, and your support would mean a lot and could help me find new friends nearby to overcome my social anxiety, heal, and feel more comfortable socializing.

I’m based in Bergen, Norway, with interests in Anarchism, particularly anarcho-syndicalism, as well as free software and Linux.

Thank you so much!

I am looking for a time-tracking software, specifically to track work hours, that can fetch and manipulate events via CalDAV, using an existing external calendar.

Does anyone have any tips?
