    This is begging the question, there’s nothing confusing or incorrect about what GrapheneOS posted. GNU/FSF is a cult that has always been making their own arbitrary rules for what qualifies and what does not qualify as free software (I am not saying the OSI is any better in that regard, Raymond is a clown).

    I highly suggest reading this mailing list thread where RMS fails to understand copyright law and thinks you can relicense permissive code to GPL, and refuses to call OpenBSD free because the ports system can be used to build a few pieces of non-free software, even though no parts of the ports tree itself are non-free (wait until he hears you can download Windows ISOs off of a web browser).

    I don’t know, but you’re saying I support “the empire”, which sounds like the typical dismissal and grouping by most ideologically entrenched folk I talk to around here. Sorry if I misunderstand, I have my autism diagnosis on hand if that is suitable for coverage.

    I’m not a leftist because the left is also full of fascists that provide (un)critical support to any country deemed AES, and I know this because I used to be very much an AES-worshipping tankie myself. I still have some respect for socialists and communists that don’t prescribe to AES ideology, but it’s still just mostly infighting over which system failed better. At some point I just concluded that communist/socialist/leftist is harmful baggage to carry, that only leads to snap judgements from corpomedia brained folk.

    Thank you for your analysis!

    I’m not a leftist anymore, I simply don’t appreciate the zionism in the DNC (and yes, the GOP too). People are very quick to prescribe labels and polarize if it falls outside their political organization’s boundaries!

    Because I’m a software luddite that believe we peaked in design at BSD/Plan9, and most of the “innovations” of enshittified corporate mainstream distros (redhat userland, atomic/immutable environments, “universal” (unless you’re not on linux) package management, containerization of anything and everything) don’t impress me, and more often than not turn me away. I’m not saying software can’t improve, but when it comes to mainstream linux (especially redhat), innovation is always 0 steps forward 40 convoluted leaps back with bonus windows compatibility.

    reliant on upstream sources

    Not relevant to independent distributions, which I’d actually consider more of a problem with popular distros very often being forks (most often of debian).
