Anecdotes of Resistance

#LibreOffice: A free, open alternative to #Microsoft #Office, used by #governments, #schools, and #activists worldwide. @libreoffice

#LineageOS: A community-supported, open-source #Android alternative, keeping old #phones alive and out of landfills.
@LineageOS

#DIYTech: From #RaspberryPi projects to open-source #hardware, people are building their own devices, free from corporate control.

#IRL examples:

#OpenStreetMap, @openstreetmap
A community-built map, not controlled by #Google or #Apple.

Small Public Squares,
#Mastodon, @Mastodon
Decentralized social media—no ads, no algorithms, just people talking.

Sacred Sites,
#InternetArchive, @internetarchive @internetarchiveeurope
A non-profit library of the web, preserving knowledge for all.

Mosaic of Subcultures,
#PeerTube, @peertube
A #YouTube alternative where communities host their own #video platforms.

Why It’s Radical:
FLOW isn’t just about code; it’s about reclaiming control, fostering creativity, and building digital commons—just as Alexander’s patterns were about creating spaces that empower people, not corporations.
The Solution:
Free, Libre, and Open Works (FLOW)—software, hardware, and content that anyone can use, study, modify, and share—offer a radical departure. These tools and communities are built on principles of transparency, collaboration, and user freedom, much like Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language for architecture.

Why FLOW Matters in Your Digital Life.

The Problem:
Most of the tech you use every day is controlled by #corporations—closed, #proprietary, and designed to lock you in. Think #Facebook, #iPhone, or #Adobe software: you can’t see how they work, you can’t modify them, and you’re often the #product, not the #user.
