There's a silver lining in all the #deepseek news. Fox, MSNBC, Bloomberg, and others are educating millions of people about the benefits of #opensource and #linux

Longer blog post coming but of course PewDiePie would love #Linux and otherwise. It isn't a secret that fascists, and their enablers, love the open web, open source, and even open technology, and places like the people focused web and the indieweb, as an example. this isn't new. Open source and open technology and the IndieWeb etc. Will always attract fascists. Why do they love these things? Simple, they believe they have a space free from community consequences to spew their hatred. You can combat this in a number of small and big ways. Some small ways are making them obviously uncomfortable, and or outright unwelcome, remember the guy that kicks out Nazis even though they say please and thank you?

First, some petty ways.

Make all of your Linux distro wallpaper LGBT+ inclusive.

But on a more serious note,

You can't outright stop them from using open source software. You can, though, make it very clear their bullshit won’t be tolerated here.

This means prioritizing your marginalized contributors over them. Implement their ideas over obvious Nazi ideas. Do things that tell them, hey, your bullshit isn't welcome. Force them to look for non woke software.

You won’t chase them from the internet. That's not possible, but you can force them to be around other Nazis exclusively and that's important because they need numbers. You don't need them. They need you as a recruiting ground. It really is that simple.

As for all who don't believe PewDiePie is a fascist or at least a fascist sympothiser, https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/PewDiePie

would you give LLM (AI) to run commands on your macOS, Linux, FreeBSD or Unix machine? Fuck no. I survived this long without this crap and I will be fine. Do not want. Go away.

Die integrierten Screenshot-Tools in Windows 11 ermöglichen es Benutzern, ihre Bildschirminhalte mit nur wenigen Klicks festzuhalten. Doch diese Funktionalität kommt mit einem Preis: Die Art und Weise, wie Microsoft Daten sammelt und verarbeitet, und nun Fotos macht, lässt viele Nutzer besorgt zurück. Es ist bekannt, dass Microsoft eine Vielzahl von Telemetriedaten erfasst, um die Benutzererfahrung zu verbessern. Dabei wird jedoch oft übersehen, dass dies auch bedeutet, dass potenziell sensible Informationen auf den Servern des Unternehmens landen können.

In einer Zeit, in der Datenschutz und Datensicherheit immer wichtiger werden, ist es bedenklich, dass viele Benutzer weiterhin auf Windows 11 setzen, ohne sich der möglichen Konsequenzen bewusst zu sein. Wer sich ernsthaft um seine Privatsphäre sorgt, sollte in Erwägung ziehen, auf alternative Betriebssysteme wie Linux umzusteigen. Linux bietet nicht nur eine größere Kontrolle über die eigenen Daten, sondern auch eine transparente Softwareumgebung, die weniger anfällig für Überwachung ist.

Die Entscheidung, bei Windows 11 zu bleiben, könnte als eine Art Akzeptanz der Tatsache interpretiert werden, dass Microsoft einen Teil des Nutzerverhaltens überwacht. Letztendlich liegt es an jedem Einzelnen, abzuwägen, ob die Bequemlichkeit der Windows-Plattform die potenziellen Risiken für die Privatsphäre rechtfertigt. In einer Welt, in der digitale Privatsphäre zunehmend bedroht ist, könnte der Umstieg auf Linux nicht nur eine kluge Wahl, sondern auch ein notwendiger Schritt in Richtung mehr Kontrolle über die eigenen Daten sein.

Linux-Entwickler erwägen, Support für 486er und andere CPUs einzustellen

Uralte Prozessoren könnten bald nicht mehr durch den Linux-Kernel unterstützt werden. Das Ziel: Weniger Komplexität und Testaufwand.

🇬🇧
The death of Windows 10 could bring you a bunch of free Linux PC or at a lower cost.

Summary
🔸 Windows 11 hardware requirements leave millions of PCs obsolete in October 2025.

🔸 Businesses dumping PCs in online auctions (and dumpsters) creates an opportunity to acquire affordable, powerful machines for running Linux.

🔸 A Linux OS revitalizes old devices, offers open-source software, and ensures continued security updates. And it's free!

🇫🇷
La mort de Windows 10 pourrait vous rapporter un tas de PC Linux gratuits ou à un moindre coût.

Résumé
🔸 La configuration matérielle requise pour Windows 11 laisse des millions de PC obsolètes en octobre 2025.

🔸 Les entreprises qui jettent des PC dans des enchères en ligne (et des bennes à ordures) créent une opportunité d'acquérir des machines abordables et puissantes pour fonctionner sous Linux.

🔸 Un système d'exploitation Linux revitalise les anciens appareils, propose des logiciels open source et garantit des mises à jour de sécurité continues. Et c'est gratuit !

Here I am in 2025 still budgeting with Gnumeric. I might be the only person on the planet who still uses Abiword and Gnumeric for everything. Since at least high school. It's been at least 25 years. #gnumeric #abiword #linux #gnome #gnu

Ich habe mal ne frage an die linux-user, kann mir wer erleutern, wieso ich bei fedora updates /upgrades mitunter via terminal installieren und aktualisieren kann, aber discupgrades sowie anwendungsaktualisierungen via "software" aktualiesiert werden müssen, weil's terminal bzw "dnf" nichts findet? #linux #fedora

Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.

Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.

Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.

A few things to be wary of:

• People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
• People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
• Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

I'm actually really impressed with the PewDiePie #Linux video. He's talking to an audience of real people, not nerds, and explaining benefits pretty well. And it seems to me that he's put a lot of work into the customization aspect, more so than even I ever have. I'm not sure how many new people this'll bring to the community, but it won't be a small number.

You can say a lot about Pewdiepie, but he has a huge audience, and to see him so enthusiastic about #Linux and telling everyone they should try Linux too – saying yeah, it's not perfect, but it's fun and good and the more people use it the better it will become – is just really great! Gave me a big smile on my face.

Please be welcoming to the n00bs this will bring! I guarantee you some of them will become really important contributors in the coming years!
