inb4 Linux users sweepingly get declared as criminals for some flimsy reason. There was some news of Facebook filtering out Linux content because it seemed harmful to them.
You wouldn't download an operating system, would you?
All my operating systems are hand written in assembly
Temple OS?

Pretty funny that the slang term “glowies” for feds was started by Terry Davis.

Of course not! I will only get organic / grass fed computers with a OS preinstalled by the vendor. They only do this to protect the users and not for the fuckton of money MS shoves into their throats.
Reminds me of the thing in Spain where the cops just immediately suspect anyone of drug trafficking for using pixel devices because thats what grapheneos runs on.
With the current political climate, my bf worries about exactly this. (Linux users being viewed as criminals, I mean.)
The irony of Facebook running entirely on Linux is not lost on me.
My understanding of that was Facebook just gave up on human moderation and let an AI do whatever it wanted. Still unacceptable but totally foreseeable.
