From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sadly, this whole scheme has been resumed into "Don't use Omarchy because they are nazis!" -- "Oh? And where you got that idea from?" -- "B-b-because It's what they are!". It's nothing else than a shit-flinging contest, with no logical/coherent reasoning other than typical emotional/impulse-driven reactions for the sake of "feeling included".
Also, it's sad to see at how this community went downhill fast because of politics, and on how the mods shrug at these posts -- we are, indeed... reddit now.

Yikes. So much yikes. I'll be a bit more invested now in deplatforming. I just thought the vibes were off in his NetworkChuck promotion.
This goes beyond that.
Did you even look at the evidence people always provide when talking about DHH? Or are you saying advocating for ethnic cleansing isn't nazi? Ime people love to pretend that leftists are just making shit up when most of the time we show the receipts, which are even in the link in the original post here.
child didnt even look at ANY of the evidence . AND THEN when they want to criticize the evidence presented , doesnt link ANY counter evidence .
ENLIGHTENED CENTRISM©®™ strikes again. BOTH sides are evil Mmmkay!? Mmmmkay! Ignorance Is Bliss©®™
No idea why you're negative on the votes, the centrism reeks of deceit.
At this point, Every time I hear someone say something about Reddit it's in the same breath as something hate-crime-y or something smallminded like complaining of politics in their hobby.
Like, "Bitch, please... Reddit is just a room of people, our communities are what we make of them, if you're complaining about the room then you're either in the wrong room or you're actively trying to make discourse worse."
I'm in here for a chance at descentalized community, and for salon, but I keep bumping into these side-shaved specimen masquerading as techies, trying to make space for the loudest white supremacists in any scene. It's fucking exhausting.
