That’s is not what the problem is, lol, not by far. Nothing is a problem if you look at it in a short enough timeframe.

I’m not complaining about the few more people that discover Linux, I’m complaining that we are systemically introducing the same problems we want to get away from (“that the price is high/threatening”, especially now that desktop Linux is on a steady rise & we need such “”“endorsements”“” the least).

But “Linux” isn’t giving him any money either, surely. This argument breaks down because of that.

What? With influencers it’s what is monetisable in any current situation, what gets more views (and more money with that via various channels - atm “Linux” gives him revenue via selling ads etc to more people, if you offer him more money than that, he will sell whatever you say, that’s his profession). If a megacorp wants to get in on it they freely can. At any point. But it would be a lot harder to do that if we don’t/didn’t have professional ad-people (no background, just as the money winds go) intertwined from the “start”.
Financial power of a/any megacorps dictating foss just leads to monopoly again (eg how Google took over & is now closing more and more the “Android Linux”). And it makes it harder for projects to get support from “the people” vs “what is the most monetisable for some private entity”.

Overlooking that is akin to saying scalpers help redistribute the product. Technically, sure, so “what are you complaining abut, so cyclical.”

Talking about foss has literally become marketable. That’s the only reason professional influencers are talking about it now. And people listening to them will listen to whatever they say next too. And that (“money talks, bullshit walks”) is a bad future for foss which should be by it’s nature free of such incentives bcs it just becomes another megacorps monopoly.

Going into foss & financially rewarding corps that aren’t dedicated to open principles is just the current market situation (MS & Google) but with sparkles. It inevitably leads to more inequalities.

Monetisation & financial motivations.
That dude is no foss champion, at best just some user. If MS gives him money Windows & Edge will be the best

No.

Anyone with a platform can do that.

(And from the little bits I’ve seen, mostly over memes & various news bits, the quality is questionable. Just don’t follow the whims of influencers, it’s not the correct way forward imho, it just spreads enshitification.)

Well, but it’s clearly the cat’s sink - how you gonna explain that??

Sometimes?

Whenever I get the chance!

Change no, but it was my humble intention to add a little bit.
Understanding things/humans & why we behave bad is important imho.

Basically banning minorities together is in a lot of ways how the majority is made. And those never behave in the interest of most.

lemm.ee :‘’'(

The oppressive class usually isn’t a majority (capital owners/rich, religious fanatics, morning people), but they dictate so much more of our lives, what to feel, who to hate - so much so that they make the majority work for them against the minorities (that don’t affect the lives of the majority in the slightest - but that’s just how the oppressors retain control & power).

Wireguard.

Hope the real one isn’t swimming … anymore …

primary reason for the war

The non-nukes & the trivial deep penetration damage?

I’m not sure that’s what Israel meant as the primary reason when they claimed it was the primary reason (since they had all the proof possible to the contrary). It silly to try to solve a bs claim & expect the side that brought forward that bs claim to suddenly be satisfied by the resolution of bs they manufactured. Nothing had changed.

And the problem isn’t in screening/forced security.

Nothing but cock & balls hanging out - finally my dickbutt cosplay is complete!

Nice vibrations.
Positive shakes.
Pleasant bounces.
