I completely agree with you. I can’t believe how people still worship Torvalds, while Stallman, an open capitalist, has done more radical socialist things than Linus by miles. I used to ask myself why people praise Torvalds yet reject radical contributors that started, spread, and work on free software that include BIOS and full on operating systems with a developer team consisting of a few contributors living off of donations and advocating against surveillance, non-free software, DRM, and other capitalist dystopian practices, but now I clearly know that people will do anything they can to avoid being even the slightest of radical. Wether it is with software, technology, economic systems, governments, and more, people don’t want to change as change is uncomfortable, so, as a result, you have people like Torvalds, movements like democratic “socialism”, and corporate whitewash like “open source”.

They might know about free software’s corporate term “open source”, but surprisingly, most lemmy users are actually unaware of free software as they often confuse it with the corporate whitewash of open source. As for your claim, yes, I also do believe most lemmy users already use GNU+Linux, but it’s also important to go further than that by actually understanding the importance of software freedom to not only use free software, but also contribute to it in addition to teaching. Most people just stop at using another os and some free software, but it’s important to go down the more radical path by replacing all non-free software, using a fully free distribution like parabola, using a fully free bios like GNU Boot, and using ryf hardware.

The problem with centralized social media is it replaced all aspects of free speach and public opinion with algorithms that keep you hooked while all your personal information is being sold and given away. It doesn’t have to be that way. Learn about free software, what it means, it’s history, and it’s impact on the world today. Learn about the fediverse. Most importantly, don’t expect things to change if you don’t. https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software

If it’s not in the fediverse, I’m not using it Even youtube which I used to use in addition to the fediverse is now completely replaced by peertube

Yay another LLM! That’s definitely what the world needs and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. This is so fun guys. Let’s fund the surveillance, stealing, misinformation, harmful biases, and destruction of the planet. I can’t believe some people think that humanity is more important than another “open source” crazy pro max ultra 8K AI 9999!

I personally don’t own a phone. My solution to messaging, recording, and navigation is my Thinkpad X200T running parabola GNU+Linux-libre as the os and GNU boot as the bios. It’s as anti-surveillance pro-piracy pro-freedom you can get. For protests, just turning off bluetooth and wifi on it pretty much gets you off the radar. The only problem is that it’s camera really sucks. Photos are doable, but videos might not. Also, for protests, physical privacy is important too, so I hope you are wearing bandana to protect you from being identified in addition to protection (helmet, knee pads, and maybe a gas mask depending on how big the protest is)

True, very true

Yep, the title is my summary

Yeah lol I got flamed for using the actual article’s headline last time Never doing the mistake of spreading the “unbiased” propaganda headline again

In the interview, she is asked about the other crew members. She states that she hasn’t been able to get into contact as they were put into individual cells, and the crew wasn’t given the proper freedom to fully communicate with lawyers. This is not over. They merely release Greta first because she has a platform. She speaks into further detail about this in the interview, so I highly advise you watch it.

You’re correct, the original link did get overwritten by the image https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/4/madleen-gaza-flotilla-live-greta-thunberg-activists-to-arrive-on-june-7?update=3763088 here is the link but it’s important to note that you will probably scroll down a lot until you find the actual headline I’m reffering to because they are updating it very frequently.

They can’t inspect the boat. They invaded them on international water. I would understand you’re comment if they were pirated on Israeli territory, but no, they were on international waters 185km from Gaza when it was stopped.

I don’t think demizerone meant that they will suddenly be brought to justice. I think he clearly meant that we will bring justice just in an indirect way.

Cops merely protect the ones giving orders rather than the people, so it’s not a big surprise. This is why anarchists believe that they should be abolished.

The reporter isn’t the only one who has gotten shot for non-violent protesting / reporting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlxSsceOOX4&t=149s in the video, they emphasize that “officers taking aim with weapons, shooting rubber bullets indiscriminately at anyone in their path” (1:56)

That’s correct, but I’m using the Al Jazeera headline because that’s where I got it from
