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

MODERATORS
You either want to recover a file or you don’t; confusing users with a third alternative when they are anxious already by the possibility of losing precious edits is considered a bad idea, certainly so as we move further towards smaller, simpler Emacs.
The support for lzip-compressed Info manuals was removed from the Info mode. We anticipate that lzip will disappear from the face of the Earth in the near past, and are preparing Emacs for that in advance
Amazing bit.
Also LLDB support? I didn't realize it came through in this version, too good it got removed in the anti-next version.
I feel like I haven't given GUD a fair shake, but I ended up settling with dape-mode personally. It's like a more measured version of dap-mode, kind of like how eglot is a more measured version of lsp-mode.
They're having fun over there.
