When it comes to creative work, Creative Commons is the way to go. I know a guy who exclusively releases music under the Creative Commons license.

Here’s a “Chooser” wizard, that asks you some questions and then suggests a suitable CC license for you.

I’m wondering how much of that is just due to misinformation. You have to account for the widespread Zionist influence campaign that’s been going on for decades and that has cost millions.

From Zionists traveling abroad, to Zionists flying people in. A family member got flown in some years ago and ever since they’ve been a propaganda machine in them selves.

It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that their talking points are factually wrong and framed in a manipulative way, because they themselves don’t understand it.

Brainwashing, when done right, sets it claws into the human brain something fierce. This is more apparent in some countries than others.

Can’t we just have a pageant, where each girl dresses and behaves according to a narrative and brand.

“Miss Those Damned Foreigners is this year’s… Miss Information.”

*music swells*

Listen, I swear that cake was singing show tunes and indoctrinating the children with it’s gay agenda. The cake then… disappeared, while the local folk were nearby at a cake eating contest. Mysterious that.

Use the ever loving fuck out of hashtags.

Shoot a fascist in the face… in Minecraft

It’s funny how people weigh workplaces and companies that suck balls because the money is good… but also understandable that they go somewhere else when they can get a good pay and a workplace that doesn’t suck balls.

And then there’s the burning of the recruitment offices… no, wait, that was average Russians lol

Also, the ridiculous notion that they shouldn’t when they are obviously need to push Russians back into their own country and keep the line there.

US congressmen and the executive office should have nothing to do with military operations and decisions what so ever, because they are a bunch of slack jawed yokels.

Shout outs to the Iraq war. Gotta be one of my favourite useless power vacuums for petro companies.

Cast enchant couch with BO.

Wouldn’t you want to be a fly on the wall of that boardroom.

Dan: “For fucks sake, Kevin!”

Kevin: “Calm down!”

Dan: “Calm down?!??”

Kevin: “Nobody’s gonna notice…”

Dan: “NOBODY’S GONNA NOTICE THE MURDER OF A WHISTLEBLOWER!!!”

Kevin: “Well… it could be worse…”

Dan: “…”

Kevin: “…”

Dan: “What do you mean it could be worse, Kevin…?”

Kevin: “…”

Dan: “KEVIN!!”

Kevin: “Well, you know… you could pay an ex-marine suffering from PTSD to do a… you know…”

Dan: “…A WHAT, KEVIN?!?”

Kevin: “…a 3 for 1 special sale…”

Dan: “…a what?”

Kevin: “Well I’m saying, in all likelihood, it could get worse…”

Dan: “…”

Kevin: “…”

Dan: “…for fucks sake, Kevin.”

My testicles, my lungs, the brain, my bone marrow…

Seriously, it’d be easier to list which parts of the body that don’t contain plastic.

No. Some people just mask and/or live in a bubble like it’s a sport, and they are so overjoyed they are “winning”.

The intrinsic arc of utter corruption culminates in economic turmoil and ultimately the art of scapegoating. As the English politician realises that all the foreign labourers have been chased off and that they can’t just prop the economy up on ill gotten gains from foreign lands, that they must ultimately direct the ire of the masses inward.

Are you per chance a secret Chinese spy? Who knows?! Perhaps you are one, especially if you’re a member of the opposition party! Seen any red flags lately, hmmmmmm?!? Perhaps you like to dabble in electronics, like a little bit of maths, do we??? Even in our own party??? Moderate?!? You mean… possible collaborator…

McCarthy should be proud. The world was changed forever, and even though it makes no sense, most likely it’s the socialists, libertarians and anarchists who will be blamed, along with black and brown people, the gypsy, the jew, muslims, hindus and even possibly christians, whoever fits the bill, as hungry and angry masses are directed towards a new common enemy.

It’s the release valve of the leading class, the dog the elites can blame for hot air, it’s the scapegoat.

TL;Dr licensed firmware is garbo - open firmware ftw

This - is what we need.

The only ones who can really push the envelope on getting RISC-V into the hands of consumer, and indeed up to an IPC comparable to ARM, are companies like Deep Computing and Si-Five.

The biggest problem in the computing world, bar none, are not the predatory companies, vendor lockins, or proprietary operating systems, it’s always been licensing. This is why BSD existed in the first place, because a $1000 a month per seat to copy a file without pulling and pushing bits around is a bit too much, even if it was the 70s.

Similarly, in a time of green washing, eWaste and even planned obsolescence, one of the things that help to underpin all of these afformentioned evils is secret sauce firmware.

No matter what you say, if you don’t have access to the source code for firmware and bootloaders, you’ve got a lifetime set by the vendor based on how long they can actually support the hardware - because employees cost money. You can’t realistically expect a company to support something they’re not making money on anymore, and they’d most likely just want to sell you new hardware.

This is where RISC-V comes in swinging. I’m not saying that all RISC-V hardware will come with open firmware, but the ball is rolling and with it we can finally bridge the gap spanned by tech companies, where the average Jane or Joe can in effect easily modify their firmware code, albeit through security principles of course.

Unlike Open Source, Open Firmware is a bit trickier. Decades of industrial precedent, and indeed vendor lockins the OEM’s are beholden to, like proprietary BIOS, makes it that much harder to establish - especially when designing an entire ISA and getting it to prefab is a Lord of the Rings length journey. There is no griffin shortcut.

No doubt I’ll have naysayers. Just mentioning open firmware in the average matrix chat riles the gallery, as is the style, but even the likes of NVIDIA are opening up their code (thanks, AI) to the point where NVK is not that far from stable, untainting your kernel. Yay.

Everybody ♥️ open source, don’t they? But how about giving some love to Open Firmware? In the FUTURE 🐙 we’ll hopefully have vendors and foreign interests shoved tf out of our hardware, and good riddance, because they shouldn’t be in control of it in the first place.

I await your ire.

And shout outs to the libreboot maintainer. What in the ever loving Carmack is FSF up to? Libre ain’t a brand, it’s a philosophy.

Wtf even is that boat… look at it… it’s like someone in post-apocalyptia managed to get an abandoned ship up and running.

Fucking Lemmy…

Don’t worry, I’ll fix. Re-read the edit.

Yes, yes. They’re all Nazis, and Putin will unnazi Ukraine, right? Because there is no ethno nationalism in Russia, whatsoever. But also, in Europe in general. So I guess Putin should invade and liberate the rest of Europe as well, right? He’s going to unnazi the world, correct?

Edit: /s for some of you. It should be blatantly obvious, at least it is to me, but maybe it’s just because I’m proficient in the language… somewhat. Anyhu, have a nice day, I hope Putin dies in his sleep tonight, byyyyeeee…

Edit 2: Or, isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think?

Pro imperialist news… pro Russia imperialism. Probably pro Chinese belt & road “central kingdom” imperialism also.

I wanna ask the author if boot tastes nice.

“You know, I called Putin - I really did - on my pink Barbie phone, you ever seen that? Old timey thing, it’s got this rotary. So I lie there and talk to him, twiddle the phone chord, which is actually non functional, and I’m just lying there, kicking my legs, joking and talking and flirting - anyway, it was a great time.”

And nationalism will be crushed again.
