“Capitalism is the best economic system that we have had so far”
  • When comparing between similar levels of economic development, socialism has always provided better quality of life than capitalism. Even in less developed countries, it meets the basic needs of the average person moreso than any capitalist country of similar metrics, without exploitation or imperialism to get there.

  • I mean it took the man almost 15 years to renounce his statements on “consensual pedophilia” only to then make statements about how girls trafficked by Epstein “might not have been raped.” It’s quite a concerning pattern to just ignore

  • I just think as revolutionaries and progressives that there is no point in idolizing a man who defends pedophilia and statutory rape. The FSF is good for FLOSS generally and we should support FLOSS as a form of resistance to corporate domination of our digital lives; there’s no need to place a creepy pest like RMS on a pedestal to do that though, nor feed into his ego as the true father of free software or whatever.

  • I just suppose that I don’t see the point in being so pedantic about including the name of one of many different components of the free software stack which can be used to make up a Linux-based operating system. I think most everybody thinks of the family of FOSS based operating systems when they hear Linux, and derivative projects like android are usually considered their own separate thing. The FSF is pretty well known by those who are familiar with Linux, and while they have made huge contributions to FLOSS there are some pretty nasty reactionary ideas that RMS specifically pushes that lead to plenty of us preferring not to directly associate, at least with him specifically.

    SA TRIGGER WARNING

    just look up what stallman has to say on age of consent laws and rape, specifically regarding Epstein and trafficked teenagers. He’s fucking gross.

  • Looking for advice on buying a thinkpad
  • I think the T480 is a great deal but be aware of the Thunderbolt firmware issues. It’s fixable if the firmware is not yet fully corrupted and if the firmware is up to date it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m dealing with a dead thunderbolt chip on mine right now and it’s terrible

  • How is the Framework 13 comparability with Arch Linux?
  • I can only speak towards the 12th gen intel model but everything worked perfectly for me. I referred to their guide for fedora to get the necessary kernel parameters for the backlight keys and services for the fingerprint reader but it works flawlessly. I also recommend one of the community sound profiles to help with the speaker response if you have time to tinker with that

  • The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse
  • If you care about privacy and security, matrix has some glaring flaws. The biggest IMO is not currently encrypting metadata, so who you talk to and when is plaintext. The signal protocol encrypts everything, including the meta data.
