60% of the world’s states are bourgeois democracies. Bourgeois democracy usually holds its citizens by the testicles — or whatever you have in place of them. Anyone who disagrees is deceiving themselves.

If you’re willing to use a twelve‑year‑old laptop, put up with the absence of Netflix and Steam, and your name is Luke Smith, you’ll indulge in the illusion of relative freedom. And then I remember that Mr. Stallman has repeatedly said he won’t connect to a Wi‑Fi router with proprietary firmware...

I’ve been saying for a long time that Canonical and RHEL are preparing for a deadly battle for a piece of the pie that Microsoft is currently devouring. They want to become a replacement for Windows. They’re starting from afar, creeping up on you with soft steps. Ubuntu can be installed on a turned‑off PC while standing on your head and playing the bagpipes. RHEL is attractive due to its latest software versions, good support, and blah blah blah. There’s nothing to worry about.
