Okay, I'm curious, when did you guys first hear about/join Linux? Please boost for a wider data pool. ​​

Huh !? 😶 « #NVidia is now publishing #Linux #GPU #kernel modules as #opensource with dual GPL/MIT license, starting with the R515 driver release » https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/

I met some people with the same phone at a Green party meeting. @Fairphone #Fairphone

Those of you who have come here from corporate social media (recently or in the past) and stayed, which of the following were behind your reasons to stay here?

Boosts OK!

So here's an interesting question (?)

Have you ever heard of a privacy respecting, fediverse service or at least foss, for dating? For meeting other people online without ads and privacy horror stories?

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

-> yes, you read that right, before form submission.

This is an example of how the intransparency of the digital world leads to a huge #InformationAsymmetry between normal people and corporations.

I am absolutely begging you to stop caring about politicians and start tearing down systems. please.
