I've actually corebooted all my machines which had a port.

I would love to go full freetard and have everything librebooted, but unfortunately I do need some more raw power than a Core 2 Duo/Quad can pump out (unless I want to wait for stuff to finish till the heat death of the universe).

Actually used it for a few years.

Good distro, but I want to try something more stable.

Looks like it would fit the bill! And I always wondered about Slackware.

Will check out!

I wish Ron Paul was my grandpa. He's probably the last politician running for president that I voted for that didn't feel like a compromise vote on my end. Anyone before or since I always had to sort of convince myself it was the best choice out of the available options or that I should vote for them because I agree with more things than I disagree with in terms of what they stand for.

There was some drama in the past when Leah, the trans lead developer, suddenly pulled out of the FSF over some allegations that they had unfairly fired a trans employee who reported harassment. But Leah fully owned up and apologized. https://libreboot.org/news/unity.html

Libreboot is a variant of coreboot so a lot of it was not written by Leah. Not in that it matters imo. Leah had some issues, apparently even went so far as to publicly post transition surgery pictures and videos online... which is pretty bizarre I think. But crazy people can still be good developers.

Basically "How to be a faggot 101".

Tor Project is "REMOVE". Tor Project posted on offcial SNS account.

The Tor Project is joining calls for Richard M. Stallman to be removed from board, staff, volunteer, and other leadership positions in the FOSS community, including the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project. Sign the open letter: https://rms-open-letter.github.io/

The Tor Project @torproject@mastodon.social

The Tor Project has made it clear to Freedom Software Foundation and #LibrePlanet in the past that we did not want to participate in the event if they welcomed RMS back.

To re-instate him without notifying the community prior to the event is against the transparency we stand for in this community.

I agree the following reply.

@torproject You should focus more on privacy and security and less on trying to cancel people you don't like.

Eat butt?

Is there a manual for setting up libreboot? Also, wasn't libreboot famous for having batshit insane developers? I seem to remember something along those lines.

There's a second option, isn't there?

I don't have any particular distro suggestion but if privacy is important to you and it is possible on any of your computers, I would say to consider using libreboot

Lol. At least I can understand why they make ads like that. There really are a lot of people who can be influenced by seeing celebrities take the vaccine. But on this video, the comments section is completely filled up with people talking about how creepy it is saying stuff like "That's it. There's no way I'm taking it". So did they really think this would work? Are they that out of touch? The bureaucracy isn't great at making memes, so maybe. https://www.rt.com/usa/518979-pentagon-russia-meme-report/

I would recommend Salix OS, but it's based on Slackware, which has slapt-get, which tries to emulate the features of apt-get as closely as possible. I'm not sure exactly how similar they are, though. And I don't really have any other recommendations because I haven't found any better distro, so I guess you need to just try it out.

So, uhh... how to suck a dick?

I'll wait until my favorite celebrities do a commercial before I'll consider it. /s

No systemd.

a 2 year break

I've been using linux as my primary OS since the late OOs and my advice is to go with something easy and well supported. I use Fedora since I need to know RedHat tools at work. First get started and stay using a mainstream distribution.

I hate the design philosophy of systemd, but I'm not going to go out of my way to fight it. I am more than capable of setting up any distribution I want, but it usually isn't worth the time. I have virtual machines and embedded stuff running non-systemd distributions, but that is because it offers other compelling advantages for those particular installations. On a modern PC, I would just suggest picking an easy to use distribution and running with it for a few years.

If you pick Fedora, I'm sure I can answer reasonable questions. Ubuntu is also well supported and easy to use. I'm just less experienced with it. I have several machines running with Ubuntu LTS because that is what was tested with the particular hardware or software I needed to run.

Any package manager can be kept stable assuming a well supported upstream and non-bleeding edge software. I've got a debian box that been stable with apt for well over a decade plugging along with no issues.

There is no amount of gun control the leftists will be happy with. The perpetrator could have used a knife and the leftists would still somehow turn it around an claim it as evidence for more gun control. Simply put, Colorado has plenty of gun restrictions now, and those restrictions didn't prevent anything.

In non-clown world, this would justify shutting the site down.

I hate instagram and the like. My gym posts updates on facebook and instagram. Every time I just want to figure out if their open or if anything changed it wants me to log in. I'm not giving my information to some evil company so I can just get status updates for a gym too small to justify hiring a web dev to keep their site up.

In all seriousness, who did they think this ad would work on? Are there really that many people who are skeptical of the vaccine but trust these presidents?

I almost wonder if they're trying to get certain people to trust the vaccine less, but maybe I am overthinking it.

the fact the millions of gun owners would not comply and revolt

I hope so but I have doubts. It would be a slow boiling of the frog like so many other things. Just like with speech online, they would start with going after people who seem kind of reasonable to go after to most people. Like they'd start by just confiscating the guns of a few outright Hitler hailing "death to all jews, race war now" people to see the reaction from the public. Then do it to a larger group of the same type of people. Then go after the ones who are white supremacists but who are saying "no violence, work within the system". Maybe they'll even confiscate from some Antifa types in order to decrease the angry reaction from the right. Then they'll go after people who are not exactly all white supremacists but still more edgy than Tucker Carlson. Like the "Groypers". They'll just gradually work their way out like that.

Even if a large group did decide to revolt, it seems that the government does not need to be too concerned about a revolt that would actually threaten their power because they have thoroughly infiltrated the opposition. It's interesting that both of the groups (Proud Boys and Oath Keepers) that are being charged for conspiracy in relation to Jan 6 had a federal agent or asset in leadership.

Another thing, I notice that even many people who are very pro second amendment only go as far as to say that they'll shoot any ATF agent who tries to take from them. In other words, stand by while they're taking from other people. Hopefully enough would defend their own guns to make the law unenforceable but realistically, there could eventually be a need for some people to "aim higher" than the boots on the ground enforcers. And it will be increasingly harder to get away with something like that as surveillance and government use of AI increases.

Side note to any feds reading: No, I am not planning to "aim higher" myself. Lol.

Interesting. I can definitely understand where support of him is coming from then. But even people who hate him should be able to see that removing him for stating some opinions is a slippery slope.

His comment about the woman who had sex with a 14 year old saying he wishes he had been "abused" that way is messed up but a pretty common sentiment. A lot of guys find it hard to understand how that could be psychologically damaging and if he is autistic, that would make it even harder for him. I also can see how someone with autism could be particularly annoyed at laws where the difference being a rapist or not is a 1 day difference in age, or a few months, or which country it happens in. It isn't very logical but most people don't dwell on it because they have no interest in having sex with someone younger than 18. Most people who do dwell on it are pedophiles or ephebophiles, but it's possible that he just takes an interest because of his tendency to criticize anything that doesn't make sense to him. Even I, who supports statutory rape laws and the age of consent law being 18 can see that it's weird to have a sudden cutoff even though legally the cutoff has to be somewhere. But imo a 30 year old who has sex with an 18 year old is about as slimy as one who has sex with a 17 year old. I think a 30 year old would be able to see how immature an 18 year old is. Consent is a tricky area to legislate. There are lots of ways to get questionable consent while being legally in the clear.

You are right that many things are taken out of context. I looked at his site to see his thoughts on child porn in context. I think looking at child porn with real children (not drawings) for pleasure is an extremely evil thing to do and I'm glad people who do it are punished. So I was disturbed by his comment about there being "no reason" possession should be illegal. I'm glad to see that he seems to mainly be concerned with the affect the laws have on freedom. Though, I worry that if possession were made legal, it would be much harder to go after pedophiles.

These quotes are from https://web.archive.org/web/20210325014131/https://stallman.org/archives/2014-jul-oct.html

A man in the UK has been sentenced for prison for having a cartoon depicting a fictional child in some sort of sexual situation.

The advocates of this kind of censorship started by saying they were trying to protect real children from being abused in order to take their photos. Making such photos should be a crime, and is a crime, but that is no reason to prohibit possessing copies of the photos.

However, they have already gone far beyond that. No child was harmed in drawing the cartoon.

To criminalize possession of copies of anything published — no matter what it is — is oppressive, and leads to many other forms of tyranny.

"Child pornography" is an all-purpose excuse to attack human rights on the internet. The FBI and Holder are now using it as an excuse to demand to be able to snoop on everyone's computers. This "cure" is worse than the disease.

Germany imposes internet filtering on routers (which I suppose includes those in ISPs as well as those in people's homes), blocking sites with no trial, and claims that the names of the censored sites are a "secret".

A site that posted the list of blocked domains was threatened with blockage itself.

Germany also made a rather shocking claim that posting this list in the US is illegal under US law, on the grounds that some of the censored sites display "child pornography".

Some works are disgusting, but censorship is more disgusting.

Illustrating the evil of making it a crime to possess pornography, a man in the UK was convicted of the crime of not knowing how to delete all copies of a disgusting video sent to him by a stranger.
