A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.
The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.
$CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.It all started because he was shitting on the NY Times for being an ad-ridden mess where you have to call a human in order to cancel your subscription. Someone called NY Times woke communist propaganda and Linus went nerd rage on them.
I just learned Linus torvalds has the correct political opinions
So this motherfucker might be the most remarkable man on the planet
I love that man. I dread the day he steps down, and I dearly hope whoever he appoints as his successor is as good as he is.
With this comment, I can finally forgive him for Git
Yeah. It filled me with joy when I found out.
OK, fine, you've convinced me. I'll watch his Tech Tips show.
Linus was always a better face for Linux anyway. We can collectively do without creepy toenail eating guy.
Libertarians stay losing, woke communism ftw.
Could be worse than RMS. Could be ESR.
I'm glad I don't know who the fuck that is
Based based based
Linus and excoriating dumb asses. One of the best duos.
Hell, he doesn't even have look for it, it finds him. Geez.
We're all woke communist propagandists on this blessed day
Linus for the win!
Typical Linus W
Linus is our Notch.
He's the goat.
Linus didn't sell out though and become a neo-nazi billionaire. He's a woke communist through and through!
Is he an actual communist or just a woke communist?
Most nerds his generation are mostly libertarians if they didn't go the silicon valley elon techbro alt right pipeline. RMS was a libertarian and had a lot of brainworms.
If you asked them he'd probably say he's a demsoc judging from his reaction and that he's finnish
I’m old enough to remember that before techbros, techbrothers like Linus used to be way more common
techbrother from another motherboard
spoiler
i'll show myself out
Damn, if you tell me that he's against genocide next, then he's a tanky confirmed!
Go off king
Ok but does he actually have the right opinions? Because the NYT is an imperialist capitalist rag. Like I would love to find out that Linus is genuinely a Communist but I would hate to find out that he's just a Liberal who calls himself a Socialist because he's confused about what the terms mean
He's a Finnish millionaire so he's closer to demsucc than ML but even demsuccs can shut down reactionary assholes. I don't think he would spew propaganda uncritically though like most liberals.
Europe is a weird place politically compared to the US.
he writes like a liberal twitter user so i'm going to go with liberal.
This is pretty clearly a socialism is when roads conservatives owned type individual
yeah. aka a lib :(
Any fucking questions ?!!
A card carrying atheist.
