Political? For everyone outside of America that’s just common sense.

In Canada it’s starting to become “political” since our morons are egged on by the morons down south.

It’s so exhausting, they treat it like a sport, it’s not about making anyone’s lives better it’s all just about their team winning

It’s people creating their own victories because they’re lacking their own.

Love your username, btw!

Hello I’m a trans person from the UK here to tell you this is sadly not the case at all.

Politics used to be something people engaged in. Now politics is the core to a lot of people’s identities, which means disagreement or debate is perceived as a personal attack and people will embrace a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance to avoid being wrong.

I despite this “trend” of considering just simple opinions and basic statements as “political”. It’s been watered down and turned into a meaningless tag.

Outside the US this no longer has to be political, is probably more what it really is.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
