Like, there are a lot of reasons to switch to linux and plenty of them are compelling. But its an absolute fantasy to believe you’re somehow immune to surveillance because you’re using the same software as Amazon’s EC2. Does anyone really believe the NSA hasn’t cracked Linux Mint yet?

It’s much harder for the government and bad actors to hide backdoors in open source software than making a deal with a private company

dismissed as a conspiracy nut.

The government and bad actors use this as a strategy to attack their opponents and control public opinion.

Protests crack down on the internet has been going on for quite some time, don’t just blame it on trump but on the whole government and its infrastructure.

“The oldest known impacted wisdom tooth belonged to a European woman who lived between 13,000 and 11,000 BCE, in the Magdalenian period. Nonetheless, molar impaction was relatively rare prior to the modern era. With the Industrial Revolution, the affliction became ten times more common, owing to the new prevalence of soft, processed foods.”

Treating slaves slightly better does not make them free men.

They shouldn’t exist and people should stop glorifying them. This goes for the ceo of valve too.

animation, scripts, music

“handcrafted” music is recorded with microphones playing real instruments, you ever saw a game labeling their music as non-digital?

Sort of agree but look how much he’s done for Linux gaming.

Let’s not forget that Steam is a proprietary third party launcher that doesn’t share any values with linux. Valve built the apple store of videogames, while they are now moving in a better direction keep in mind that they are part of the problem.
