See, this shit is why insisting on “GNU/Linux” is actually important. It’s the copyleft and the end user freedom it provides that matters, not the kernel.

Sabotaged Linuxes like Android just don’t cut it and shouldn’t count.

Those are called “laws.” We need to create appropriate “laws” and force corporations to follow them.

Weird concept, I know…

It’s such a shame that you can’t customize the version of zsh running on your Linux-based embedded device because it’s DRM’d to prevent the modified version from being installed.

…oh wait, that’s not sarcasm because it’s actually plausible.

It’s permissively-licensed (as opposed to bash, which is GPLv3). Pushing zsh over bash is part of a larger effort by corporations to marginalize copyleft so they can more easily exploit Free Software at the users’ expense. Don’t fall for it!

Bash is copyleft (GPLv3). Zsh is permissively-licensed.

Apple, for instance, switched from bash to zsh when the GPL version upgraded because they wanted to withhold those rights from their users.

Zsh should be considered harmful as a tool of corporate encroachment and subjugation of Free Software.

ICE is celebrating it and openly threatening more.

What about a phone running Graphene OS in an anti-static bag?

Or what about a Pinephone with the hardware switch for the cellular modem turned off?

And more to the point, your work computer should be provided by your employer. If you’re buying that shit yourself, you’re a chump who’s being taken advantage of.

“It might not matter” is fucking ridiculous. Of course it matters – even if the attempt at obstruction doesn’t succeed, the fact that they tried is still a goddamn outrage!

Luckily, somebody realized they were being a dipshit and changed it. The headline as of when I loaded the page was much less asinine:

The FBI Is Obstructing the Minneapolis Probe. The ICE Shooter Should Still Be Very Worried.

Lucius shouldn’t have that power either! It’s not an issue of being “stable enough;” it’s an issue of anyone having it. Frankly, your argument kinda proves my point.

It’s analogous to a limited hangout. Sure, they acknowledge it’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from doing it and they suffer no bad consequences for that choice. Really, what’s the Aesop people are actually going to take from it? The one based on the demonstrably empty words, or the one based on the actions?

Prescient, and also an example of copaganda/how corporate media conditions the public to accept this shit because the “good guy” is the one using it.

Ah, TIL. I just figured it was the KDE-est general-purpose distro.

But still, shouldn’t it at least have a development version of Plasma Login Manager sooner than any others, for testing?

Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?

Recyclable carbon fiber is an innovation that applies well beyond just wind turbine blades. Is the tech going to be shared with e.g. the bike industry?
