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

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply

Hyfetch exists, and is really great. It comes with a lot of pride flag color options for the art, and is continuing to update the code for regular neofetch as well, since neofetch is dead (to access regular neofetch, use the "neowofetch" command).

Hyfetch also just added support for fastfetch, so the output is more detailed and not as slow! I like seeing the info and the colors every time I open up my terminal, so this is a really great addition. To use fastfetch with Hyfetch, just install fastfetch (I use Fedora, it's in the repos), and then use the "hyfetch --config" command. If you don't yet have hyfetch you don't have to use the config, it will ask you when you use the hyfetch command for the first time.

Just a little PSA, carry on ralsei-wave
