There’s also Ubuntu.

How do emulators handle games that want to use the VMU as an auxiliary display? (Did that actually ever matter?)

[Microsoft are] just literal thieves.

Always have been.

(But now it’s worse because it’s the entire public, not just their competitors)

What disgusting cope. Don’t you have any self-respect?

Just because you can work around the abuse doesn’t mean they aren’t abusing you.

Edit: people like the commenter above are actively making the world worse by normalizing and even excusing abusive corporate practices. I apologize for nothing!

Sure is a good thing Ubuntu doesn’t sometimes sneakily install a Snap when you try to use apt to install a package, such as with Firefox. Tricking users into using Snap without realizing it, making them unknowingly vulnerable to exploits like this, would be really really bad and unethical on Canonical’s part.

Not that I care at all about Disney games

That’s all well and good, until those monopolist fucks buy up a game you do care about.

Let’s also not forget that, unlike Trump, the powers behind the throne don’t get SS protection.

Just because it’s unencumbered by licensing issues unfortunately doesn’t guarantee open designs

Permissive vs. copyleft strikes again!

See, this shit is why insisting on “GNU/Linux” is actually important. It’s the copyleft and the end user freedom it provides that matters, not the kernel.

Sabotaged Linuxes like Android just don’t cut it and shouldn’t count.

Ultimately lobbying is just (parts of) the population attempting to influence what happens in politics, which is what is supposed to happen in a democracy.

No it fucking isn’t! Lobbying is people getting paid to attempt to influence what happens in politics, which is what makes it corrupt.

It’s such a shame that you can’t customize the version of zsh running on your Linux-based embedded device because it’s DRM’d to prevent the modified version from being installed.

…oh wait, that’s not sarcasm because it’s actually plausible.

It’s permissively-licensed (as opposed to bash, which is GPLv3). Pushing zsh over bash is part of a larger effort by corporations to marginalize copyleft so they can more easily exploit Free Software at the users’ expense. Don’t fall for it!

Bash is copyleft (GPLv3). Zsh is permissively-licensed.

Apple, for instance, switched from bash to zsh when the GPL version upgraded because they wanted to withhold those rights from their users.

Zsh should be considered harmful as a tool of corporate encroachment and subjugation of Free Software.

Since about 2016.

Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?

And more to the point, your work computer should be provided by your employer. If you’re buying that shit yourself, you’re a chump who’s being taken advantage of.
