Open source is anarchist socialism. This whole platform works because socialism works. The internet is made up of protocols that people aren’t required to implement but do because they’re good ideas that are well thought out and work and were created without force or threat of violence like threatening the right to sue for damages even. Bad ideas get worked on and fixed. Look at Wayland in Linux, a complete volunteer driven effort that got funding because it was a good idea. No one forced all Linux desktop environments to switch from x11 because a new law got signed, but instead volunteers were like “thank you for fixing x11 in your free time.”

But nope, property doesn’t exist, guess it’s broke!

Can you post pictures of a tank event in the 80s in China without censoring? Can you talk about these protests ?

You’re arguing with tankies. You are attacking China in their eyes. You are fighting a losing battle because you cannot convince them China has major faults and blemishes and systemic issues like the US.

A reminder that cops can’t be sued for the same negligence

I say co-opt it back to its original leftist roots. I don’t mind calling myself a libertarian instead if I’m talking to a right winger who’s scared of anarchists and then just say “the socialist kind”. It’s a conversation starter to introducing a right winger to how one can believe a market free from capitalists (the best kind of free market) is actually not the worst idea ever

I do not miss CRT tvs

I played enshrouded and path of exile and Diablo and Elden ring coop and bg3 coop all with zero issues except on like the first few days of release if there are any.

The worst thing right now about Linux multiplayer gaming with anticheat is the release day experience. Or if it’s a AAA title with heavy graphics expectations, odds are they use some weird directx fuckery that’s not available in vulkan immediately and needs patching.

All of that gets fixed when Steam deck compatibility at launch day becomes more of a thing, so it’s just a matter of time tbh. I’ve been using Linux dual-boot since Hardy Heron and as my sole OS since 2018, 2025 may be honestly the year of the Linux desktop no joke.

human-friendly as in you can live there in poverty or human-friendly as in it’s great if you’re middle class?
