    Oh heaven forbid wanting to discuss things in discussion forum instead of watching “content”.

    I repeat, what exactly is your problem with Linus? Point me to the kernel.org thread where he is being a jerk to you? Or at least the issue you have in kernel development?

    I’m trying to discuss this with you. You keep shouting something about content.

    So discuss or get the fuck out.

    Yes please, if it’s only 4 minutes you should be able to air your grievances with Linus in text fairly easily and save us all from having to watch some shitty YouTube video

    You are accusing him of being a jerk after all.

    He has track record of being extremely blunt. This has been the case since the 90s., though he has made attempts to be less direct in the past decade or so. What’s your problem specifically?











  • Teaching kids good, healthy anticapitalist values is important. It’s also good to teach them some basic computing and privacy skills, because they’re not going to get that anywhere else. They’re going to be under lot of social peer pressure to have the latest phones and being connected on social media, consuming information from algorithms.They need to understand how to minimize the harm from Meta and the big tech.

    Same applies to the copyright industry and their practices (along with corps who are heavily anti-repair like Apple) - they need to understand the exploitation model of capitalism and lobbying - from there, let them make their own choices.





  • Once, not so long ago, streaming was more convenient than pirating. But, as expected the commercial services went through their Standard Cycle of Enshittification and now we either let ourselves get flogged by 50 competing predatory services or just take the easy way and sail the high seas.

    The choice is not that hard. Yarr.

    Of course this returns us to the state where the streaming companies who have literally “enshitted their own beds” now turn to legislators and policymakers (who they hated, just couple of weeks ago) to ask them to provide some “law and order” to this unruly mob and to defend the corporations right to put thumbscrews on the population for ever increasing profits.

    And so it goes.
