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
- Comm banner is a close up of "Dorlotons Degooglisons" by David Revoy (CC-BY 4.0) for Framasoft

What use does a CS class have for Discord? Shouldn't they have you using Microsoft Teams or Slack so you get accustomed to the garbage your future office will be on?
Teams sucks so badly though.
Teams is great? it's no fuss calendars, meeting scheduling, group folders, high quality conference calls, screen sharing, remote control, it even works to external emails. way better than what platforms used to be like.
uhhhh
I dunno I only really use it for a once-a-week call and there's a new issue with the web UI in firefox approximately every other call. And that's now that they even support firefox (I think). Before I had to User-Agent spoof to use it. Plus outlook calendar now tries to attach a teams call to every new meeting you create so my coworkers are constantly sending out invites with teams calls that they didn't mean to create.
I mean sure, better than 5-10 years ago, but compared to other existing solutions now it's nothing special IMO
