So you’re a communist that denounces every communist project atop an ivory tower, instead of understanding the realities of actually building a socialist society (no magical button that will make us overcome hierarchies overnight, I’m afraid). Sounds like you’re just larping about being a communist

Impressive mental gymnastics. So the “starving” Cubans live more than Americans because Americans have “too much” bread?

spaces in rm are a classic one, they’re even mentioned in the Unix-haters handbook

wtf Malta

far left wings of parliament in America

You can’t be serious lmao

ah yes, the famous “autocracy of the proletariat”

social democracy =/= socialism

GPLv3 fixes that

Because Arch’s philosophy is being easy to develop, not easy to use

I disagree with (1), especially for parents that cook the same 10-20 meals over and over. Even if the time it takes to cook a certain meal on your kitchen is different than the one stated at the recipe, you can note it down and get a reliable average after 5 tries.

It’s annoying that some parents can’t even do that to minimize the fights around dinner time and shift all the blame to the kids.

That’s the WM or DE plus the individual programs. An i3 install with the same dofiles will have the same aesthetics on each distro.

What’s that, a cloud gaming service?

Campus would be better because of the mountains adjacency bonus

“Everything I disagree with is propaganda”

How is that, in any way, answering the question?! You could mention some of those features…

Is this supposed to be a jab at linux? Because it’s wrong. The kernel is updated at the same intervals as Windows / Mac updates, if not more frequently. Popular DEs are also maintained and frequently updated.

About popular programs: Firstly, this is not strictly a problem of the OS, because they can’t force developers to build their apps for Linux. However, developers can do that, and with the advent of flatpak they can build for that instead of hiding behind the excuse of not wanting to support multiple distros.

Secondly, this is almost irrelevant because the majority of people use computers to either browse the web, or use office suites, or play games. In linux, you can browse the web just fine, use browser-based office suites that are becoming increasingly popular (or LibreOffice/OpenOffice) and, with steam, you can play most games that don’t have a linux build.

All in all, the minimum everyone with a semblance of computer literacy should do is dual boot linux alongside windows and use that for their daily driver.

Do you also consider remembering to take your wallet and phone with you a hassle? You’re creating an issue where there isn’t one.

But OK, have a smartphone and use it to take photo-notes, I do that too. But I also try to use libre alternatives for software even if they are not as good as their proprietary counterparts, because that’s the right thing to do for a lot of reasons.

Also funny that you’re mentioning lawnmowers, because tractors have a huge issue with proprietary software, with farmers having to resort to hacking their (bought!) vehicles in order to repair them, to avoid paying thousands of dollars to John Deere for “authorized” (read: extorted) repairs.

You agree that the corpos are “evil” and yet you do nothing to avoid using their software, you’re not willing to be discomforted in the slightest for a good cause. That’s worse than Stallman’s approach, in my book.

Why didn’t you bring a small notepad, easily fitted in a pocket or small bag to take notes of things to remember, instead of a camera? Dumb phones may have had note functionalities too, I’m not sure.

Stallman gives plenty of alternatives instead of just forbidding technology, but you’re gonna brand them ‘non-viable’ so there’s no reason to give you a list.

What’s your point? Monopoly does not imply innovation.

What do you mean by socialism? Because the goal of socialism is to gradually arrive at communism. I don’t know a lot of Marxist theory but what you say doesn’t make much sense. No one (except for anarchists and maybe “new leftists”) wants to jump to communism directly.

Unless by socialist you mean social-democrat.
