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, take Linux Mint for a spin. If you're ready to take the plunge, flock to Fedora! If you're a computer hobbyist and love DIY, use Arch, Gentoo, Guix or the many, many offerings out there.
- Those on Apple Silicon Macs can consult Asahi Linux for available options.
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

It's probably a human telling the AI agent to write a pissy blog post. But who knows.
They've deleted the blog post since (it's still in the git history), and the AI has written two more blog posts ... continuing the trend of wasting human attention even if more apologetic this time. That's the worst part to me, the person behind this is showing no sign of feeling responsible for the harm they causing with their AI agent. The apology is written in the voice of the AI agent. Nobody expects the agent to be accountable to that's worth less than nothing.
Both blog posts are still up, the first one was posted with an incorrect link at first:
sadly my understanding of the modern parrot agents is that openclaw/clawdbot/moltbot/whatever the fuck can scrape the web autonomously and perform tasks exactly like the opened MR
