Using your last breath of life to fix a bug or why I love free software: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78514#c19

Although I really like open source ideas, the humane, social and altruistic principles of free software are very beautiful. Reading this bug report a long time ago certainly influenced me on the software I choose to use.

I love the simplicity of the C programming language although I admit it is far from the most adequate tool for most of what I do.

Maybe this can achieve RYF certification.

What I really would love: modern (continously built) modern (less than 10 years old tech) devices ryf-cetified.

The author blames interest in critical metals for the action.

Now, consider: Brazil has the second biggest known rare earth reserves in the World (second only to China). As a Brazilian, this scares me a bit.
