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.

Intellectual property is an imperialist tool for exploitation and oppression. I see you are a fanatic zealot defending it. And you think we should just accept that?
BTW most tokens today are sold in China and mostly and increasingly produced with nuclear or renewable energy. China is also the country with the most, fastest and most sensible regulations on AI. You're blaming the ills of neoliberal capitalism on AI.
Therefor you are shielding capitalism from critique, and are preventing any sensible regulation on AI and any changes to the system that actually leads to our downfall. You people clearly have given up belief in democracy or revolution and just accept that this helpless and brainless zealotry is the only thing you can do now. Preach hate against your common man instead of the oppressors that make the decisions about how AI is used. So if you want to talk ethics, sniff your own butt first.
Is that really all you got from that? AI is stealing people's art, their video games, music, etc. I'm not talking about large companies. I'm talking about Joe down the street who's spent the last 4 years making a game, just to have an AI try to rip a slop version of his game 2 days after he released it.
I don't give a shit about Microsoft, or any other corporation for that matter, and the fact that you came in here with this aggressive long ass rant reply to me without even so much as asking a clarifying question says more about you than it does me.
A sob story about the poor widdle smol bean petit bourgeois, making a proprietary closed source game to rent seek off of.
Why should I care about this class enemy?
You class traitors never care about actual working class people.
Dude, this isn't a story about a closed source game dingus. Have you ever even tried to make a game? Most games can be decompiled or reverse engineered pretty easily. And as long as we live in a capitalist society, you have to play the game, even if you don't want too.
Dunno why you come in here with comments like that....oh, a .ml account that explains it. Can't even engage with people in good faith. Do you seriously go around calling people class traitors everywhere you go? Bcz that ain't going to make you any friends. I am about as far left as it gets, so I find it funny that you are calling me a class traitor.
I am basically an anarchist in my political views, or a socialist, so, yeah, super funny to me to be calling me a class traitor.
Seriously? Joe down the street? Lol. That's a myth. Poor joe down the street that this despicable Linus is trampling on! He was going to make a living with his indie game! Oh the humanity! Hahaha
It's not a myth. It's a huge issue people having been dealing with in the Indie dev space, which you would know if you were a game developer. Anyway, I'm done here. You're either a bot, or an extremely unpleasant person, and I don't have the mental energy to engage with either today.
Scratch a copyright advocate, and a dehumanizer bleeds.
What are you even trying to say? I am not advocating for copyright, maybe ask questions first instead of calling people names. Man, I am so tired of this space always being filled with people shitting on eachother for not being the correct type of leftist, or not far enough left.
You're not being shit on for being the wrong kind of leftist, you're being shit on for thinking vaguely vibing with progressive politics makes you a leftist. You are a capitalist defending copyright from a capitalist perspective.
Oh boy, you are so wrong, you don't even know it. Participating in a system that forces you to participate doesn't make me not a leftist. If you want to start a revolution to start that communist or socialist utopia we all dream of, be my guest. I'll be right there with you supporting you when it's all said and done. But right now, that's not in the cards for me. And I'm not about to explain that to someone over the internet.
Yeah, former...fuck off. Stop replying to me or I will block you.
Go look at their post history, then block them anyway :) Your Lemmy experience gets substantially better after you block a couple dozen trolls.
