Is free software only available for rich countries? #Techrights
https://techrights.org/n/2026/02/20/GNU_Linux_Adoption_is_Higher_in_Richer_Countries.shtml

Very tongue-in-cheek question, but it shows a gap that needs addressed. Are projects like One Laptop Per Child locking people into non-free solutions? (Not saying intentionally)

The Windows monopoly trapped a lot of people ignorant of alternatives in all countries.

@glynmoody I think the comments are as insightful as the article. I wonder if #Techrights will exhibit this article as FUD against free software.

"Of course, now these fights are all about real things. Now we need to worry about centralization, interoperability, lock-in, surveillance, speech, and repair. But the people – like me – who've been fighting over this stuff for a quarter-century? We've gone from 'unserious fools who mistook tech battles for human rights fights' to 'useful idiots for tech companies' in an eyeblink."

Glad I'm not the only one who's noticing this.

@andypiper The big tech platforms provide "social control media".

Some (like #Techrights) argue that Mastodon instances, and any other social application that allowa server side enforcing of codes of conduct, fall into that category. I would argue that the right to join a gated community is more "self control" than "social control", but I prefer self filtering over server filtering.

Any corporation with an internal memo about mind control has to be evil.
