🚨 BREAKING: Chat Control BLOCKED in EU! 🎉
Germany just refused to back the EU's mass surveillance "Chat Control" regulation after public pressure! This blocks the required majority in the EU Council and derails next week's planned vote.
NICE JOB EVERYONE! 💪
Rocknix is a linux distro that targets 'retro handhelds' like Retroid and Anbernic. Those devices normally run Android, which is currently in full fuck-you mode, so if I were to buy a retro handheld I would be running Rocknix on it instead.
However, bad news: I asked in the Rocknix discord if i can count on them to take an anti-fascist stance, and their response was, in a word, "no".
Specifically, I asked if they were centrist, they gave me a "no politics" warning, which is a pretty clear answer to that.
If anyone else on the team wants to correct me, I'll gladly edit this post.
edit: I was banned, I didn't say anything other than the frowny face so I assume I was banned for that? can I appeal please?

edit 3: if you have an open source project and you would like a community liason or a technical writer then I'm happy to help, dm me please
edit 4: to clarify, these reddit comments are NOT made by the Rocknix team. I just wanted to share how awful it feels to try and talk to the community about this.
edit 5: according to the code of conduct, they should be anti-fascist. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for now and say the discord mod was just in a bad mood. no excuses for the redditors tho. https://rocknix.org/contribute/code-of-conduct/
Hey, @frameworkcomputer -- since you like big tents, you should also welcome krita, even if the maintainer is a trans woman.
After all, you use Krita in your 12 laptop page...
So, how about you start sponsoring us, too? I think that becoming a corporate sponsor would be great?
Let's talk euros!
