Cyber communism is council power and automated forces of production.

Set of people who are all "We reverse engineered this CPU with an undocumented ISA and found a vulnerability that allowed us to flip a single bit in an HSE to obtain a key that allowed us to encrypt a payload that gave us arbitrary code execution on the ISS" and simultaneously also "It's literally impossible to prevent this single fucking guy from showing up at the event we run"

One downside of running linux is that I have NO CLUE AT ALL about modern technology.

Like, I didn't know about USB-C laptop docks? I can run two monitors, ethernet, sound and a bunch of USB ports out of a box plugged into ONE hole on my laptop? And I don't have to buy a dock specifically for my specific make and model of laptop? And this is real?

The flipside of your software being so light it can run on a toaster is that you'll spend years quite happily running it on a toaster and then have no idea what's going on in the world outside, and this is like when I borrowed someone's truck and went to start it and looked all around the steering wheel and they said what's up and I said where's the bloody choke on this thing

Look, "/home is a tempfile" isn't just a footgun, or a bug.

It's an explicit ideological attack on the whole idea of what Linux is and who Linux is for.

If /home is just a tempfile to be purged when drivespace pressure hits some arbitrary threshold then Linux is a corporate-owned SAAS shim, and that's all it is. It's not just "breaking userspace", it's abandoning the idea that the people using that space and the stuff they've made there matter at all.

"Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" 😍
Ursula Le Guin: β€œA child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole.”

using linux will save u from microsoft recall, but only in the sense that microsoft's best engineers can't work out how to record your screen in wayland
