Welcome to libre
A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.
The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.
Resources
- Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
- Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in
$CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Rules
- Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
- Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
- Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
- All site-wide rules still apply
Artwork
- Xenia was meant to be an alternative to Tux and was created (licensed under CC0) by Alan Mackey in 1996.
- Comm icon (of Xenia the Linux mascot) was originally created by @ioletsgo

I've got like a nice used car tied up in proprietary Windows software for audio and photography (I played myself) but there will be a tipping point where I hate Windows more than I like money
Car? broom-broom type?
I had to read it twice for what it's worth but to rephrase for them, they spent so much over the years on audio visual software for Windows that the total sum spent could have instead purchased them a quality used automobile. However if/when Windows gets worse they may eventually have to stop using the programs they invested a significant amount of money on just due to how awful the OS has become.
@supafuzz@hexbear.net is this an accurate paraphrasing for our comrades who have some trouble with indirect language?
yeah that was it
"I hate Microsoft"
