But pirates aren’t taking anything

I don’t think I’d necessarily agree with that, but just to note, op is recommending the BSDs, not Linux.

The mormon church explicitly told their members to vote no on legalizing gay marriage.

My grandfather died years earlier than he would’ve because the money they would’ve spent on treatment went to tithing, and the church refused to help.

I was bullied and isolated throughout my childhood because all the kids around me were taught by their church to be disgusted by me because I’m queer.

Utah is a shameless theocracy and the church’s influence has done disgusting things everywhere I look, and as a final “fuck you” I’m probably going to have to move because of the increasing paranoia they’re creating about trans people.

Those examples are dumb, but also don’t tell people what to do holy shit it’s just as infuriating as people who insist everyone needs to include GNU.

I think that’s ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won’t use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.

Should we ban discussion about any distro that’s not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?

I use a Lemur Pro, and I’d recommend it for just about anyone who doesn’t want to game haha. It just has Intel integrated graphics, and while it runs Minecraft perfectly well, that’s about as much as you can push it.

The battery life on there is easily upwards of 10-12 hours being used lightly for some web browsing, word processing, etc. etc… That’s with Pop!_OS at least, which seems to be pretty power efficient.

I put QubesOS on there too and it only gets 4-5 max, but that’s definitely just a Qubes thing and not the hardware’s fault.

Good lord let people enjoy things

This seems like a very reasonable and pretty tame warning?

Wanting to restrict the rights of minorites isn’t a valid position. It’s vile and worthy of hatred.
