This poster I drew up back in 2021 as an attempt at trying to improve the presentation of the 4 essential freedoms on the gnu.org website. They simply wrote them up as un-assuming text that does not even call attention to itself. I, knowing that we live in the world of short attention spans, decided to try and present the same freedoms in a much more modern way. ↩ Reply

Since then I received multiple translations of the poster and even been told that the poster was found in some schools in the USA. The GNU project's website, subsequently published the poster on their website. ↩ Reply

On January 30th 2026 I leaned that the poster was used in a Wikipedia article about the Free Software Definition. ↩ Reply

[icon reviews]Basic Instinct 1992 is Verhoeven trying to be De Palma who is trying to be Hitchcock

It is known that the best films from Alfred Hitchcock were done during the days of the code. The restrictions on nudity and graphic violence gave us iconic Hitchcockian moments like the shower scene in Psycho, where Hitch pulls of a totally kosher psycho-sexual ejaculation of ultra-violence. When the code gave way to the MPAA rating system, Hitchcock didn't really know how to react, producing mediocre films, giving way to directors like Brian De Palma who stepped into his shoes, to give us, more-modern Hitchcockian thrillers like Dressed To Kill. But by the end of the 80s, as De Palma stepped down from this Hitch-immitation role, and before Robert Zemeckis ultimately took this title with his 2000 film What Lies Beneath, there was also Paul Verhoeven and his psycho-sexual thrillers, like 1992 Basic Instinct.
