“Please stop fighting this distopian law”.


What’s the reason?


When do you see Linux using more resources?
Just watched a rescent video comparing Mint and Windows loading some games and it looked like Linux was always lower as Windows starts the race allocating more.


Screw AI RAMpocalypse, I’m buying an open source firmware motherboard.
Not so Common Desktop Environment (NsCDE).
Didn’t know what this was till I clicked, so posting for others.


It doesn’t show up running lsblk?


I prevent others from relicensing my works under less-free licenses or making them non-free by using Copyleft/share-a-like licenses.


Widen the scope to consider downsteam users (the dev’s user’s users and beyond) and now the potential lack of any software freedom makes it freedom muchtheless.


I’d like to think that is so but some here will argue non-copyleft licenses are “more free”. Ime they don’t reply after I point out that’s the freedom to deny others freedom.


Is that Ed from Ed Edd and Eddy?
I treat “AI” as if it isn’t conscious btw, I’m arguing you cannot ever know.
We could create an Android that acts so much like a human we would feel emotionally compelled to not do it harm but remain unaware if it can actually suffer.


You can talk about company “AI” misadventures without a headline claiming to know things you cannot investigate. A sun appears unconscious but only in how unlike it is to humans. Having an experience is knowable to only to the subject having it.


The most reasonable choice now may not be the same forever. The optional indentifying fields themselves may have not have changed on Linux over the years but external changes in soceity has prompted this conversation.
With nefarious “child safety” laws popping up the introduction of an optional age field is tone-deaf and suspect. There are other objections to SystemD but this personally pushed me over the edge to finally try out another Linux distro (from Mint).


Personally I’d have little interest in Linux if not for it’s free software license.


Would Linux’s license not count as about Linux? I don’t know if this is the case here but there’s a lot of companies that sell hardware running Linux and refuse to follow the license, e.g. by providing source code.


Hurd rescently became an option with Gentoo Linux (experimentally). Debian offers it too.


GNU stands for “GNU’s not Unix”, which itself means ‘GNU’s not Unix not Unix’. If two nots logically undo each other then you might say GNU is Unix but in programming you would likly apply one assignment at a time: expressed as GNU = ! Unix = Unix or simply GNU’s not Unix.

A middle finger to those you’re jailbreaking from.


Maybe others really believe it’s not “nothing” 😒
Are you implying “exempt from the service” means Linux gets blocked?
