Good luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who’s ever used a browser that isn’t IE, everyone who’s ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who’s ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web’s dark ages.

Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who’s ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who’s ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country’s population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban?

Just like his grifts.

Hopefully this trade war doesn’t devolve into an actual war…

Fooyin’s great so far as a Foobar2k alternative.

Thanks! That kid-like look was what I was going for.

Based on how increasingly user-hostile Windows has been getting lately, I don’t trust it outside of a VM or outside of a second system I don’t care about if I want or need to run it baremetal for some reason, and that includes LTSC.

At least LTSC for now seems to be spared from MS’ worst anti-user atrocities, but there’s nothing saying those SKUs won’t get screwed somehow at some point down the line.

If Elon isn’t a full-blown Nazi, he’s at minimum a Nazi sympathizer. His actions at the inauguration proved where his allegiances lie.

Look who’s talking, mofo… The guy did things that screwed over advertising on the late Twitter.

Bluesky and Pixelfed are pretty good arguments for at minimum logging out of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram if not going all the way and closing your accounts there entirely.

And I bet Meta’s recent Linux crackdown is going to start steering people away from Facebook and Instagram to boot, because what if it doesn’t stop at Linux and goes full-blown mass censorship of anything Meta corporate doesn’t like?
