From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's no ethical consumption under Capitalism. I get it, too. It could be easily said that this very Internet that's connecting us has some Nazi fingerprint since the DARPA.
Your bootleged tracks won't make a penny to Morrissey nor bring more awareness to him. However, with FOSS, we have a choice. Don't hatch this serpent's egg
I can see how propogating their product would intensify their reach, but the problem I am having is that I cannot differentiate a good app based on ideology.
Now that I come to think of it, I might not run into that problem. Maybe nazis cannot make wholesome code, because they are not wholesome themselves. That would make my point moot. Thank you for the gentle comment.
You want to stay in Capitalism and I have other ideas. You think there is merit in Technocratism, I think that's just another facade, together with Liberalism, to Fascism. May we never have to clash about this in the future.
No need to throw punches, comrade.
If you feel you wanna toe my line, we can get into the merits and blind spots of positivism, but please try to see me arguing in good faith about something I either don't understand or find questionable.
