Libre Culture
What is libre culture?
Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules
I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.
-
Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
-
Please keep posts generally on topic
-
No NSFW content
-
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”
Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

The thing I really do not like about Pocket is the fact there have been years of promises to open-source its code. As far as I know, it is purposely swept away every time (I believe they will never open-source the code because then it would be obvious they sell your data to make profit – all my theory here, have no proof of that). Because of this, I think I cannot trust Pocket and the team behind it. Finding my way around that, I have been using xBrowserSync (Firefox add-on to sync bookmarks) for bookmarking articles to read in the future with adding a special tag (usually
todo– general tag for doing something with the bookmark in the future – andarticle– the bookmark is an article to read – in my case) to the bookmark so every time I feel like reading, I search for that tag in the bookmarks and get my stored articles. The advantage for me this has is having stored articles available on all of my devices (desktop, notebook, phone and tablet – as all my other bookmarks). xBrowserSync works spectacularly for me and because I use it anyway for syncing bookmarks, storing articles is just a great bonus on top of that. Thinking about that, rather than using Pocket, I would use Wallabag if I must choose one, but I find myself content with my current setup, so I have never really paid much attention to these applications as I simply do not need them. Glad Pocket works for you, though.
