Instead of open core I’ll call this popular approach “open skin”.

usr did originally mean user and held user data.

Pretty sure this is a bacronym

It’s great, but might not work with some distros. NixOS is one of them

Love it. Also saves sites via SingleFile if you want to.

It is. Did that when this was first announced

I think you meant to write ass-driven

I’d have no issue if they were interested in actual communism instead of stalinism/maoism and their hyper capitalist successors.

“… that of the People’s Republic Of China’s weird American fan club”

I wanted to partake in the revolution but a friend asked if I wanted to go have launch and so I foolishly went with them.

Oh if I could only do both!

I’m no communist, but your argument is flawed.

Linus is not representative of the Linux community and I think the famous Stallman rant regarding GNU/Linux is actually relevant here.

The free software movement is certainly pretty left leaning, though I wouldn’t call them communist.

The issue is who decides what kind of behaviour deserves that kind of treatment.

It inevitably ends up harming the wrong people in the end.

I can understand the sentiment though.

More because it would have entailed quite the logistical conundrum as it’s a bit difficult to run a country when most of its citizens are dead.

Oh, going by the actual definition of fascism and calling fans of Mussolini fascist? How very fascist of you!

Yeah, that’s where the left-right concept kinda breaks down.

It feels wrong to say the USSR wasn’t left when you consider the many left policies they had and of course their origin.

I also agree with your idea of what left-wing should mean. I guess there’s no way to avoid complexity with topics like this.

We have an old saying in Germany, from the times of the Weimar Republic’s communists, which roughly translates to:

“Who has betrayed us? The Social Democrats”

It rhymes in German.

Oh, Lemmy has fascists now.

The left wing was cutting public services, right. Famous left wing policy. I think you’re thinking of liberals.

You’re free to be super duper racist, sexist, ableist, pretty much any kind of discrimination you want. Isn’t that enough?

So people should protest somewhere where nobody notices? Preferably quietly?

That’s not how protests work.

I don’t know. I remember when people changed the color of their twitter profiles and ended racism.

Good memories. Those were real protesters! They just quietly and politely asked for acknowledgement of their humanity, as one should.

Nowadays who knows what people are capable of. I’ve heard somebody threw paint on the glass in front of some painting!

These people should get shot for advocating such horrible violence.
