Ahh yes, the self appointed GNU police, never a good time when they show up.

I have one machine to go, and then I'll no longer be running anything that's GNU/Linux—they'll all be musl + some other coreutils. In the case of the Chimera Linux systems, LLVM toolchain too. This will be quite satisfying.

#Linux #GNU

A line-by-line teardown of the most smug, exclusionary comment I’ve gotten since starting this blog—and why the so-called “freedom” they preach looks a lot more like a wall.

I woke up this morning to a comment on the first post in the 'I Want to Love Linux' series. Congratulations, random internet user: you earned a full-length blog post in response. Not because you're special, but because your comment is the perfect storm of everything that’s wrong with the self-righteous, gatekeeping corner of this ecosystem—the part that cloaks cruelty in the language of freedom, then acts shocked when people stop showing up.

Here’s their full comment. Nothing redacted. No paraphrasing. Just the original smug sermon.
