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.

Do you wish you were homeschooled? Are you homeschooling your kids now? Do you plan to homeschool in the future?

I think it's fine as long as there's intense socialization - after school programs, sports, volunteering, going to the park, play dates. As others have mentioned, don't force it, but make sure it's an option.

I think homeschooling should end at some point in high school, as colleges like to see how a student compares to the rest of the student body (I would advise my own children to start as freshmen as to avoid any future isolation).

I do wish I was homeschooled in elementary school. I asked to be homeschooled. I was bullied and abused. Middle school was okay. High school was wonderful and I'm glad I was not homeschooled at that time.

I do not have children due to my health issues. If I had children and no health issues, I think I would give my children the option of homeschooling or public/private school, as well as the option to alternate as much as is reasonable/allowed.
