Dude, WHAT. This is totally against what Linux and Open source in general stand for.

I don’t support the thing that I’m sure was their reason for this but I definitely don’t support banning someone from contributing to an open system solely off nationality.

So what eventually only the “good guys” can contribute to and use open source software? Who exactly decides who the “good guys” are in this scenario? USA? China?

The implications of what this can cause in the future for potentially all of the open source community is absolutely sad. We should welcome all our fellow human beings to contributing to open source.

Micro G has to run on the root level. If that isn’t a concern for you then Graphene OS probably doesn’t fit your needs.

Sounds too European for the “land of the free”

You’re telling me a president can’t sign an executive order to deschedule marijuana? I think you’re mistaken.

Its this nice little thing in the US where they can end you as a company if you don’t comply.

So, no evidence that they have compelled Apple to do so but that little bit about how the US government can force a companies hand and force them not to talk about it is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT true.

So, it isn’t like the dude is just pulling stuff out of his ass. Apple did used to have a warrant canary as well, and they don’t anymore. You should watch the interview with Lavabit’s creator and how the feds wanted to take over his shit and fake his SSL and he took them to court about it and still can’t talk about it due to the (undemocratic) gag order.

And necessary in many situations.

I didn’t know that I thought all RISC-V was open source :( I’m not as familiar with it as I’d like to be. I might just have to dive into it more and change that soon

Its a good thing the second amendment doesn’t just include a clause for hunting! People often forget it says

“A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

RISC-V is the only shot we have at usable open source hardware. I really, really hope it takes off.

Yeah we should have never invented televisions or records either! And don’t even get me started on cell phones. Just waste waste waste.

Why, if it were up to me we would all still be hunting and gathering!

Nah, I want Ticketmaster specifically to loose. Fuck them.

Dude yes I remember you could race the entire race on Wacky Racers with the controller. Felt so ahead of its time.

Until you have to travel over 40 miles in any direction.

I agree, but the shareholders want more money!

For real lol just a nice diversion to distract everyone from the real problem.

How so?

Definitely give Linux Mint a shot!

They are vehemently against self hosting as well.

Damn that’s so fucking sad.
