It abso-fucking-lutely smells like manufactured messaging. Aka propaganda.

To all those who keep calling for acts of violence in the US I ask: how many will Dementia Donny kill in response?

That’s a stupid wondering.

If you must find/create a path to freedom, then I guarantee you some shithead has made sure that path is illegal. No if’s, and’s, or but’s about it!

Umm, that’s, frankly, quite the shit take on the situation.

First, he’s fucking lying. A loss of privilege simply does not compare at all to the brutality of systemic racism.

Second, with very rare exception, white people absolutely do not get mistreated to anywhere near the degree monitors do. So, every other ethnicity is treated far worse, and always have been.

Finally, no, money will never make anybody “one of the good ones”. Not fucking ever.

Why would you keep track? Can’t form your own opinions?!

And what the fuck hasn’t Oracle done? Like, seriously, they’ve been a known bad actor for literally decades now…

I can’t think of any situation where disallowing people from repairing their own property makes any sense.

I can think of one, but the issue is largely a thing of the past: old CRT TV’s or monitors. If you attempt to repair one without knowing what you’re doing, you literally could get yourself killed.

That said, I still agree with you wholeheartedly. I’d much rather mandate dangerous to repair products be labeled as such, but the design and construction of consumer products should never prohibit the end user from being able to repair their own property.

At least rugged machines makes sense…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But the source code isn’t available. The source isn’t open. It’s not open-source, by definition.

The “spectrum” you refer to us about how free you are to publicly make use of the code, not whether or not you even have the code.

This situation does not fall inside that spectrum.
