Linux Users
  • “I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.”

  • What? If you tax the thing you don’t want and use the money to subside the thing you rather want people will change their habit due to financial insentive?!?? Who could have seen that coming?

    Bring Back Free Software Funding: Give Your Feedback to the European Commission - [Free Software Foundation Europe]
  • Fuck the Commission for removing it. It is so short sighted. Only because something does not provide direct (monetary) benefit it can still provide great (monetary) benefit indirectly.

  • Tatsächlich ist freie Weichware (frei als wie in Freiheit) schlau. Privatpersonen können sie ewig kostenfrei ihr Eigen nennen (sehen was ich tat dort?) und der Arbeitnehmer (der meist zu als Arbeitgeber referenziert wird) kann diese ebenfalls frei utilisieren.

    Leftist Memes
  • Fun fact: I pretty much upvoted all of your memes as I see them to be accurate. Some however display problems which would also occur in a communist society.

    Leftist Memes
  • Seems to be directed against me. Just want to make clear I dislike the (current) capitalist system and would not describe myself as a liberal. But I also see the benefits of a free market and the reasons why communism failed. ~> I ain’t extremist and see the need of a sustainable free market capitalism
