@phnt And if DWM wants to do that, that's fine. Most new users of Linux are going to stick with something coherent to them like GNOME or KDE. @PurpCat @RustyCrab @arcana @nemesis @Suiseiseki @sam @xianc78 @waifu @branman65 @mischievoustomato

@phnt There are benefits and detriments. One can always gate off one's own. Look at the Fediverse, different levels and layers of gatekeeping from different groups. However, we all benefit from greater Fediverse adoption and development therein. The same is and can be true with things like Linux. Projects or distributions ruining themselves with CoCs and injecting ideology and politics isn't good, but in this space it's all FLOSS which can be forked and modified and developed and utilized piecemeal---greater adoption and greater development and greater overall support is nothing but positive, compared to things like Windows or macOS centralization. If you want to gatekeep your own project or distribution or software or network, nobody is stopping you from doing so. But, you shouldn't opposed greater, wider adoption and support. @PurpCat @RustyCrab @arcana @nemesis @Suiseiseki @sam @waifu @branman65 @mischievoustomato

@mischievoustomato Exactly. And, not just Linux---any alternative OS from the current computing software oligarchy. Gatekeeping only does a disservice to everyone. And, almost all popular Linux distributions running GNOME or KDE will be more than suitable for basic computing for the average user. Supporting normies to try it and explore it should be encouraged. @PurpCat @nemesis @arcana @phnt @sam @RustyCrab @Suiseiseki @waifu @branman65

FIGHT AGAINST EXPENSIVE "ULEZ"

London, 2025

The campaign against the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in London continues. Here, three camera masts are being taken down simultaneously by so-called "blade runners."
How does ULEZ work? Cameras read license plates. Depending on the vehicle's year of manufacture and emissions standard, a hefty bill arrives in the mail at the end of the month. Each individual day of road use is charged. This is intended to protect the environment and reduce car traffic, but it is a green-coated form of social exclusion for working Londoners who depend on their cars. The older the car, the more expensive it is. And this in one of the most expensive cities in Europe.

A remarkable reaction from the people of London to the excesses of the green agenda.

Prospects for all EU countries? https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1761460595590172672

@xianc78 @PurpCat @sam @lewdthewides @nyanide @sunmcnukes @mischievoustomato listen up sweaty, carbon credits and ULEZ cameras are DEMOCRACY and everyone against them is a FASCIST!

evil hector is at it again

@earthling fr though valve needs to make Photoshop and other stuff work on Linux. Please PLEASE remove Microsoft's power. They already did it with games for the most part.

"Intel admits what we all knew: no one is buying AI PCs"

People would rather buy older processors that aren't that much less powerful but way cheaper. The "AI" benefits obviously aren't worth paying for.

⚠️ Confirmed: Network data show a national scale internet outage in Spain, with nearby countries including Portugal and France also affected; the incident is attributed to a regional power outage impacting multiple countries 📉🔌

@PurpCat the world would probably better off if 4chan just died completely.

People who wanted to put you in a concentration camp for refusing an experimental gene therapy will look you straight in the face and say some shit like this.

Surprising to see Youtuber PewDiePie (110M subscribers) publishing a video last night , "I installed Linux (so should you)" with a call to his community to join the platform, underlining the fun of customisation and DIY, in opposition to all the enshitification of Windows. His main point of friction for moving was Photoshop, and he explained how he made the effort to adapt GIMP to his needs. Always good to see initiatives like that shared to large audience.

Shower Thought: SUVs were invented because American car companies wanted to keep making body-on-frame V8 cars, AND have tariff protection by registering them as trucks.
