The thorough dehumanization, conflating every single individual in other countries into a single enemy-image, is an obvious component of US preparation for a total global war. US war planners are spelling it out https://youtu.be/6vYV5kM1gyg?t=2213

I don’t think the US is interested in a more total global war than it’s already engaged in. Conflating all others into a single dehumanized enemy just means the US can kill whomever it likes whenever it likes, and that’s not really a new concept for the country.

Wow, the Phoronix comments are actually pretty good? That’s unexpected but nice to see

Anyway Linus seriously posted a huge L here.

I’m also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them.

Everyone Who Disagrees With Me is a Russian Bot is the perfect unfalsifiable truth for these libs.

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

  1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
  2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you’re still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

Rules

  1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn’t mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
  2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here’s a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply
