Open source has become a safe harbor for far-right politics, from David Heinemeier Hansson's white-nationalist rhetoric and the Omarchy Foundation's $12 mi…

    I am really confused about why all these organisations feel compelled to donate to Omarchy. It feels like either money laundering or trying to curry favour with the fascist Ruby on Rails guy.

    Edit: Also I dare Framework to preload their computers with Omarchy if they think it is a project worth supporting.

      Some of them have high ranks at orgs where DHH has leadership position. Shopify and 37signals at least

        12 mil for fascist dotfiles and bash scripts though. Like if it was a business I’d understand but 12 mil for something like this is ludicrous.

          I do think that the goal is to organize a space for fascists

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

  1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
  2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you’re still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, try a GNU/Linux distribution.

Rules

  1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn’t mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
  2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here’s a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply
