  • I see this quite often on the other side of reddit. It’s quite sad. On that side of reddit, where no one shows their face, except occasionals who either leave generic “sexy 😍” comments or entitled requests, no one acknowledges you for trying.

    Every time I see some woman praising sex work and/or calling it feminist, I am reminded of the 10 other girls who who_red away their dignity for absolutely nothing





  • A quotation circulates on the Internet, attributed to me, but it wasn’t written by me.

    The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.

    We don’t use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.
