If you can point to any part of the analogy that’s valuable, I’m happy to go along. But this post is like breaking into someone’s home and shitting on their table. There, I can analogy too.
Except you’re not really given the soup. It’s just there for your taking, with a sign “contains piss”.
I’m just permanently surprised by the entitlement of people smh
How much free stuff did you create in your life, piss or not?
Except you’re not exactly homeless, are you?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is the "Year of Linux" actually a trap?English
61·6 months agoHow would anyone place a 100% community driven distribution like Debian in such a cage? There’s no monetary leverage, the community is truly international, so local laws don’t apply …
Please note that it’s also one of the most prolific distributions, and the foundation p.e. for *buntu.If you’re living in an oppressive jurisdiction, your employer might obviously not allow you to use a truly free operating system, but that’s hardly Linux’s fault.
So if your favorite distribution is starting bullshit, just switch to the next one, there are literally thousands of them. That’s why “Year of the Linux desktop” is confusing: it’s “year of steamOs” or “year of *buntu”, probably even “year of Debian”, but most certainly never “year of the nixos desktop”.
You have choice. Use it.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Denazification in West Germany was lenient and ultimately abandoned, with many Nazis remaining in positions of power.English
4·6 months agoWhile I’m not overly educated in the history of denazification in East Germany, I know that at least later, it was more of a proclamation than something actually happening. That’s why so many neo-nazis “suddenly appeared” in the supposedly nazi-free zone after the unification of the germanies.
Supported by the fascists in the west that had never gone away, the unified right made quick progress in their organization.

I’m using both German and English at the same time, with sliding-support for both languages at the same time. The only situation I found the spell check become confused is when switching between languages in the same sentence.
