A shout-out to LWN đź“°
29th January 2017
One of the biggest advantages of Free Software is the in-depth public discussion about it's development and technical aspects. This gives it credibility and trustworthiness.
Conversely the lack of such public discussion is one of the main reasons I can't take proprietary software seriously. The idea that I would trust software that no-one (even government) is allowed to properly audit seems absurd to me.
Whilst many Free Software enthusiasts read Hacker News and such, I would like to point out something better!
LWN.net, the online newspaper for Free Software!
It's been around since 1997 but a lot of younger Free Software enthusiasts don't know about it. It provides a weekly edition summarising what's going on in the Free Software world, and also concise daily updates on their homepage.
And it only costs $7 per month! Which is very cheap for a professional publication (much cheaper per day than buying a physical newspaper).
I really think LWN provides a great contribution to Free Software and I encourage Free Software enthusiasts to subscribe!
Edit 3rd April 2017: Tux Machines is cool too!
