Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political! (cdn.masto.host)

Linus' thread: (CW: bigotry and racism in the comments) https://social.kernel.org/notice/AWSXomDbvdxKgOxVAm (you need to scroll down, i can't seem to link to the comment in the screenshot)

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

The man can say what he wants and it's nothing to do with Linux. And, his gun stance seems fair to me. I think he is an intelligent man, and I think he's allowed to say his thoughts without some lame arse trying to tie his ideals to the OS. Move on, nothing to see here.

jonah,

I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

henry,

all the data are mine all the money is mine. mine. mine. mine.

a totalitarian content vacuum, they created nothing : everything is written by you, linked by you and curated by you and now they want to charge you for looking at it.

what the fuck happened to the internet.

const_void,

Yep. I remember their users being called 'glassholes' too.

ElectronSoup,

Apple users will want whatever apple tell them to want

BadSong,

No one talks about how bad it is to have tons of little LEDs in your eyes. My eyes are already messed up, and I can't use VR for more than an hour before I feel like I want to die. So it's a HARD pass from people like me. Talk to me once you put screens in the walls, not on them.

Hopefully we’ll get some juicy leaks about the internal discussions on API changes from some employees on the way out

  • Every single Amazon Ring employee was able to access every single customer video, even when it wasn't necessary for their jobs. (www.malwarebytes.com)

    Amazon's Ring cameras were allegedly used by employees and third-party contractors to spy on customers. The FTC has filed a complaint against Amazon, which may result in a $5.8 million settlement. Employees had unrestricted access to customer videos and could download, save, and share them. Some employees abused this access,...

    Elbullazul,

    This is why I don't own any smart home devices.

    It's insane that Amazon can pay ONLY 5.8 millions and walk away without even admitting guilt

    Treevan,

    I use an old computer that is reasonably energy efficient and have Unraid. 3 NAS hard drives, 1 SSD for cache, a USB for the OS, and that's it.

    Using the dockers on inbuilt app store, I have Filebrowser, Syncthing, Qbittorrent, Mumble as the most used. Filebrowser faces outward and is a simple replacement for Nextcloud.

    I'm not technologically minded but it wasn't hard to setup or use. It mostly stores backups for photos.

    The growth of our lemmy instance, without any advertising or spruiking. It was spun up as a test more than anything else, but it seems that it has become more than that!

    Even though the graph shows the growth spike from April to June, in reality it's even more stark than that. We have gone from 20 users to 100 users in a week!

    We'll be spinning up a kbin instance soon too, and when we do, we might shut down registration on the lemmy instance. We'll keep them up for now though, given the load on lemmy.ml from reddit migrations

    pfr,

    @ada does have an Android app yet?
