I hate antichrist meme template.

two people wearing helmets with logos of big corporations are raiding a house. The text below them reads, “we’ve got you surrounded, use our dis-services”.

the person whose house is being raided is hiding, holding a gun with logos of GNU, Linux, Lineageos, Firefox, and Lemmy. The text above him says, “I hate corporations, I hate crony-capitalism.”

      Everything about Lemmy makes more sense when you realize it’s user base is 95% people with good intentions and absolutely no fucking clue what they’re talking about or how life works outside of computers

        Your problem, as a filthy lib, is that you don’t see dying in a shootout with the feds and/or Pinkertons as the most American thing you can do.

        You merely need to change your perspective to the correct one of getting your guns back from going far enough left.

        Oh you don’t have to apologize, I’m fully aware that’s the point! I just thought I was immune to ugly memes by now I guess haha.

        They’re gunning for the user, whom they wish to exploit. The user clings to FLOSS alternatives in an attempt to avoid having their data harvested, analyzed, weaponized, and leveraged against the user for profit.

      There really has been nothing even close to it since. I hoped OnePlus would at least be a fairly clean flagship killer, but then the cofounder left it enshittified so bad. The Nexus was the BEST!

    It’s tough being an anti-anarchist anarchist. It’s fucking tough man.

    I know this is a funny haha but NGL I’d rather have this bleak future than revert back to 1997 with FOSS alternatives.

      1997 FOSS was hard mode, absolutely, but compared to the paid alternatives at the time, it was only mildly worse than today.

      I will not be removing my rose colored glasses and will take no questions, thank you for your time.

    Firefox has been doing some of it’s own shady things itself that makes me double-guess their existence. Let’s stop putting them on the podium of perfection, now.

    And why the hell is there a communist russia symbol at the other end of the rifle?

    See, if you want to make a message, make it clear and make it non-contradicting. It’s not even funny. Weak meme.

    Hmmm, I’m increasingly wary of FOSS software as well. It’s part of the system and can be bought up. Not sure about the alternatives to it, though. I guess highly technical people with lots of free time can just self-host and compile, but that’s a minority.

      Depends on the license a project uses. GPL should be fine to prevent corporate exploitation.

      https://sfconservancy.org/news/2022/may/16/vizio-remand-win/

      The Software Freedom Conservancy lawsuit alleges that Vizio’s TV products, built on its SmartCast system, contain software that Vizio unfairly appropriated from a community of developers who intended consumers to have very specific rights to modify, improve, share, and reinstall modified versions of the software.

      According to the lawsuit, a consumer of a product such as this has the right to access the source code so that it can be modified, studied, and redistributed (under the appropriate license conditions).
