     @lunarised @meso It's a cafe made out of Asbestos, in an Asbestos mining town that serves only the most powdery unbonded Asbestos.

     @lunarised @meso Thanks, but I don't think you read it if you installed Linux instead of GNU/Linux-libre.

     @lunarised @meso That would be quite a feat and the consequences you get at the end is an OS that totally sucks.
     
     The ultra-sucky Alpine BusyBox/Linux is compiled with GNU software and libraries and GNU software does get inlined (BusyBox is an inferior clone of GNU really).

     @Suiseiseki @meso nah. My core standard libs are all written by community members and written either in Rust, or in C compiled with CLANG
     
     We must rid the software space of the cancer that is GNU

     @lunarised @meso GNU is not a project that is merely a coreutils and a compiler, although those were written - those are only 2 GNU projects out of 387; https://www.gnu.org/software/
     
     Imagine hating freedom so much that you use an inferior coreutils and compiler that is under a weak license, which were only written to ensure that freedom can be more effectively taken by shackling the users.
     
     The cancer that riddles the software space is proprietary and weak licenses and of course that cancer is growing (of course, such cancer cannot grow into software under freedom-defending licenses).

     @Suiseiseki @meso Bro, RMS wont see this...
     
     Isnt it more freeing to use something that you and others you know have written yourself? To exercise that freedom?

     I know he won't despite how he has a fediverse account - I am not writing it for him - I am writing it for freedom.
     
     >Isnt it more freeing to use something that you and others you know have written yourself? To exercise that freedom?
     Yes, part of freedom is being free to choose to use inferior software under a weak license.
     
     Even then, a free coreutils already existed that proprietary software companies couldn't legally make proprietary, thus releasing an inferior coreutils that is intended for proprietary software companies to make proprietary arguably put freedom backwards.
