My colleague @karen will soon take the stage to keynote¹ #SFSCON 2025.

She'll talk about her decades of ground-breaking work for rights of patients to control the technology inside and/or attached to their own bodies.

This year I faced an eerily similar medical experience to her story. I now wear a proprietary medical device, but fortunately control it fully with #FOSS. Here's my story:

All patients deserve control of their medical devices!

Managing Diabetes in Software Freedom

Our member project representatives and others who collaborate with SFC on projects know that I've been on part-time medical leave this year. As I recently announced publicly on the Fediverse, I was diagnosed in March 2025 with early-stage Type 2 Diabetes. I had no idea that that the diagnosis would become a software freedom and users' rights endeavor.
