Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

I have trouble imagining ever being proud of being a communist. It's right up there with all the bad things in society.

Oh? And where do you experience communism?

Interesting because libertarians are for FOSS as they are against IP. (It is not real property). Libertarians also like to degoogle as they like privacy. Libertarians are against corporations as they are not a free market creation.

This meme shows completely my journey. I became a FOSS advocate in 2020 after realized that all sites that I visited wanted my "cookies". I started to questioning myself about and after some research I became a disciple of Richard Stallman and a Marxist-Leninist.

But is socialism really the same as communism?

Socialism isn't communism-lite. It's more of an umbrella anti-capitalist term.

Uh, I have been using Linux for 7 years and I'm pretty conservative. Don't associate Linux with corrupt communist ideals

[-] Mago@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Changing your entire personality and opinions like that is a giant red flag.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Lol no it's not. Refusing to be honest with yourself and admitting that you were wrong about something after learning more about the thing, is a giant red flag.

I am a full blown capitalist, and I despise google and the entire online ad industry and its tracking, I'd say all of my apps (except for games) are foss or atleast somewhat open source

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
