    The Marxist philosophy is not solely and strictly pertaining to workers. There is a Marxist culture, living with a Marxist mindset or mentality, and living with a Marxist view of the world or trying to get the world to fall into a Marxist view and setting up society in a Marxist way.

    Thevright to repair thing is wholly distnct from software. Right to reapir is for a physical hardware product. People bought something they can touch, they have full rights to repair it, otherwise people are only paying to use it but never fully own it out right.

    Libre software is not better than proprietary software. I only care about open source software for the sake of security so I can do whatever I want with the code, I reject libre software like GPLv3 and stick to open source.

    If you know the difference between a cracker and a hacker, I always got love for hackers. It’s the crackers that cause so much misery. I’m a big fan if hackathons, as long as the discussions center around hacking and not get into personal digs.

    I’ve noticed a trend that it seems to be end users that don’t have a clue about computer science and software engineering from a programming perspective that got more stuck on licenses than the actual developers and hackers. I even believe there are wonderful devs and engineers at Microsoft, nVidia, and Google, who wod be happy to give away their code if there wasn’t the stockholder reigning supreme over corporate management.

    Until you learn code correctness, you can’t understand the areas where Linux has horrible designing or programming. There’s a reason why the top talent at Def Con completely gave up on trying to get into a default OpenBSD installation.


  • Pay for an online number, there’s one time phone number websites you can use, but services are getting better at detecting if it’s a real cell number and block VoIP numbers.

    It’s good to be leary to give your number to a business or service for privacy, but there’s no valid reason to obsess about individuals getting you number on a social level, you’re not important enough for other individuals to start bothering you simply because they got your number. I have a business card I give out with my personal number. However it also means you can’t use plain texting because other apps on the the other person’s device will see from your text message that this is a live number to track and spam.

    If you actively try to avoid software that is licensed under BSD or ISC, only Gnu’s Marxist license, then that means you won’t use OpenSSH or the security tools ported over from OpenBSD into both Linux and Android and will not use an operating system or programs that have been compiled with LLVM/Clang.

    I prioritize system security, and for that I only care about open source and reject free/libre software due to all of its built-in political implications. But also defend the right for people to make proprietary software. I won’t use it, but defend people’s right to make it.

    People must give up how they want the world to operate and deal with what is. For example, FSF is wholly incompatible with BSD and the 2 distinct cultures and views can never work together. They are both open source, but that’s where the commonality ends.

    It sounds like you have an idol worship for GNU with zero experience of UNIX/BSD culture in that they only care about code that works and not anybody’s opinion.

    That is where OpenBSD developerd sticks so hard to BSD and ISC licenses with a preference for ISC license because they don’t care what other people do, they develop for themselves, and if people don’t like the way it functons, don’t use it, problem solved.

    The problem with GNU/FSF people is they are excessively wrapper in what other people do through politicing and not enough time fixing their own code. Once GNU people develops an operating system in similar fashion to how each BSD are each their own complete operating system, then they can give their opinions. Until then, they should go away, stop with the software politics, and care a lot more about their own code.





  • No, it will never be used anywhere in any business.

    Everything GNU and FSF does is driven by ideology, and there’s billions of dollars that will will make sure businesses never use or accept anonymous payment services of any kind of those businesses don’t want to be charged with money laundry and all properties confiscated.

    But only if they use payment services that are not part of the banking networks with verified account names.


  • As you can tell from the responses, your statements do not cofirm to approved way of thinking from the good people on here who accept anybody who fully agress with them without questioning their dogma. On Lemmy and Mastodon, the attitude is “You can believe exactly the same like them in everything and support everything they say, or you can be an evil cesspool that deserves to be punched or killed”.

    That’s why Mastodon nd Lemmy will forever remain useless nothings compared to the big names and are overflowing on the federated platforms with people who are incapable of spending time with people who can’t agree with them on a specific topic, so it’s easier for them to always be alone and live their life looking at a screen where nobody will challenge them to explain their rational and merhod for thinking the wsy they do instead of being invited over to someone’s house and be with real people and not a screen.
