Heidi,
i'm happy for you to be discovering and writing about Free Software and RMS. It's way more important than many people realize. Parents should all be demanding that their kids learn about (and with) Free Software in "school" and that the percent that want to learn about programming learn in that ecosystem. Why should taxpayers pay (for the sake of argument) for software and hardware that the people won't even have rights to? Do we pay taxes so that kids learn how to be mindless consuming victims instead of innovative free thinkers and creators?

When software is deciding whether you can eat, drive or how long your son has to go to jail/ODD re-education camp or how much BrainNeuter brand Chemfix the robo nurse shoots him up with, it might be good to know if the software even works as advertised, amoungst other concerns. IOW, AI powered "human management systems" are being built. The only question is whether The People will have any control of them or not? If we continue to blindly fund the digital slave trade and sabotage the trusting youth with our ignorance, we will be needlessly sealing the fate of our progeny.

keep up the good work, Heidi! Your bright light was a welcome relief today.
