I vote for Debian sid (the “rolling” version of Debian). I use it and it’s great.

By “lack of developer freedom”, do you mean “lack of ability to take the freedom you got with the code away from the next person?”

Because that’s the primary restriction with the GPL.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don’t know why.

Zuck: They “trust me”

Zuck: Dumb fucks

So the only ones who could actually go after them to force anything are the ones who originally wrote that GPL code

Not necessarily, the SFC is involved in a big case regarding Vizio about this right now. The FSF was brought in to explain the intended interpretation and spirit of the GPL.

No it’s the person who owns the source.

A pro-Israel American iirc.

For one, it bases it’s bias assessments on American politics. The UK is less right-wing than the US but when this bot comes along it calls a source which we might call centrist, “left”.

In a way, it’s like an attempt to shift the overton window for other countries closer to the US, and that’s not a good thing.

Of course, don’t expect this to be addressed by @Rooki@lemmy.world.

People offered plenty of constructive criticism in that thread:

The mod ignored it and only replied to positive feedback.

Oh I read it was a backdoored BIOS.

Yeah libreboot would probably not help much then.

Libreboot ftw

The dip in windows is corrolated with the increase in linux

Well, yeah? The users have to come from somewhere?

Its just a measurement error

Maybe

Another one for the graveyard!

You’re not gonna get anything requiring Ring 0 access (like Vanguard) running on Linux anytime soon.

Good. Kernel mode anticheat is fucking malware. Anticheat for a game should never have the same power over the system as a driver, which needs those privileges to communicate with hardware.

Debian :)

Its a fucking typo for comedic effect🤦‍♂️

You’re looking far too deep into a joke about GNOME developers removing features.

This is the best way I’ve heard it said.

Busybox is very much widely used though?

And how is it false that the GPL makes software remain free? Read the free software definition, it’s about the freedom of users, not the freedom of people who aren’t users (that doesn’t really make sense). Free software isn’t “source code available to general public even if they aren’t users”.

Doubled down on being what?

Are you trying to argue that anything written here is false? Can you prove it?

Linus wrote a kernel, and GNU wrote the majority of the userspace at the time.

How is that coat-tails-ing? Both projects had a tremendous amount of effort poured into them. And let’s not forget GCC was the only free compiler for 20 years.

If people were asking for it to be called “GNU” only, then it’d be unfair. But they aren’t.

Fuck that.

Yeah, sure, we like to promote it because it’s… harder??
