trevor (he/they)

Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋

Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.

Have a day!

  • I don’t disagree, but I’m also not focused on the GNU aspect of this. In many cases, non-GNU stuff, like MUSL is actually better (in my opinion). My issue is with non-copyleft licenses. I’ve written alternatives to various GNU utilities because I find some of their behavior to be undesirable, but I license them under the GPL because I think that the alternatives are a net negative on society.

    And I think that Canonical, like any other profit-driven entity, will do anything to increase their profit, and when they think they can get away with something shitty and they believe it will make more money, they’ll do that. Pushover licenses give them the option to restrict things more than if they relied on copyleft tools.














  • “Agentic” LLMs are turning garbage operating systems, like Microslop Winblows, into hostile and untrusted environments where applications need to run. A primary example given is how Recall constantly captures your screen and turns the image data into text that can be processed by Microslop, thus making the fact that Signal is end-to-end encrypted largely irrelevant, since your OS is literally shoulder-surfing you at all times. This is made worse by the fact that the only workaround that application developers can use to defend against this surveillance is to implement OS DRM APIs, which are also controlled by the hostile entity.
