There are definitely “right-wing” anarchist currents that are popular and not as unhinged as how “anarcho-capitalism” is generally characterized, as in, anarchism that espouses the use of capitalism, but I have not really seen any genuinely “socially conservative”, anarchists. Pacifism is reactionary and emboldens the status quo.
You can’t have Capitalist elements like, commodity production, wage-labor, money, markets, and call that “socialism”. All of the inherent contradictions and harms of capitalism remain (because its capitalism), like theft of surplus value, imperialism, and alienation.
The term leftist is considered to come from the fact that people sitting on the “Left” in the Estates General in France. Generally, liberals, (Jacobins, Third Estate). There is very poor sourcing for this online, but Wikipedia cites some untranslated difficult to source french book.
In mainstream discourse, “left” takes on a number of meanings, but to the extent that left is meant to mean anti-capitalist, and/or, Marxist, anarchism has left wing currents, hence, left wing anarchism.
I find people are less uncomfortable when you mention Market Socialism, and show them how it’s not too radical.
Cool theory. Still Capitalism (and still creates all the same problem capitalism does).
One of the coolest distros, ever. It’s like a mix of Alpine Linux and Slackware without dangerous firmware payloads.
No one thinks this. Even permissively licensed BSD operating systems package GPL software and accept it as Free Software.
but their “final goal” is to switch the kernel to BSD (i.e. away from copyleft)?
HyperbolaBSD is a hard fork, that relicenses the OpenBSD kernel as GPL (as permitted by permissive licenses.)
HyperbolaBSD has already dug into the OpenBSD source tree and discovered numerous licensing issues.
HyperbolaBSD will be a truly libre distro that takes advantage of copyleft, while moving away from the major issues Linux is stepping into too.
There will be no improvement with browsers until the introduction of one with a strong copyleft license.
Some people are working on ladybird atleast.
Another permissively licensed toy.
Unless I’m missing something, here we will disagree. Secure or not, FOSS principle-respecting or not, if I’m choosing to install software by X then I’m going to get it straight from X and not involve third-party Y too.
Source code is like a recipe. Getting your food from the chef who made the recipe is fine, but getting it from another chef who… followed the same exact recipe is no different.
This is how the linux software distribution model works, distro maintainers are a CHECK on upstream.
I’m and end user
Yeah, we all are. What’s your point?
End users are also developers. All computer users are developers. You are developing.

By making a script that lets me get backdoors and shitty packages with ease? The linux package distribution system is a nightmare, Debian is the least bad approach. There is basically always a better option to using a .deb file. If you come across something that isn’t packaged, I recommend Flatpak, building from source (and installing unprivileged), or using the developers vendored tarball (installing unprivileged).
https://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt
By using local .debs you lose the benefit of:
Reproducible builds
GPG checksums
Stable release model
debian security team
Why does Debian-Ubuntu not provide a simple command for this?
You aren’t supposed to add repos. Ever. https://wiki.debian.org/UntrustedDebs
Apt is not built with security in mind, at all. The partial sandboxing it does do is trivial to bypass. Adding a repo is basically a RAT Trojan on your computer.
An example is signal-desktop
Yeah don’t use signal. They restrict freedom 3 by making distribution difficult. Thats why they trick you into using their RAT repo.

The least bad option is the unofficial flatpak.
Personally I need the desktop client because I mod it with plugins that are so useful that I can’t do without these anymore.
Discord client modifications are against the Terms of Service. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
If you are getting your code straight from the author,
Which is not what you are doing at all with a .deb file. A .deb file is a binary with a bunch of scripts to “properly” install your package. Building from source is what you SHOULD be doing. Debian has an entire policy handbook on how packages are supposed to be packaged. Progrmatically you can review the quality of a package with ‘lintian’. .debs made by developers following a wiki tutorial can’t even come close. remember, apt installs happen as root and can execute arbitrary code.
Also, debian packagers can be project maintainers, so they can be “the author.”
Well, I’m just automating what people currently have to do manually : visit GitHub and download DEB and install DEB.
Yeah. You should never do that. Like ever. Build from source; or use a vendored tarball. https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
.deb is a terribly insecure nightmare thats held up by the excellent debian packagers, gpg , and checksums, and stable release model. don’t use .deb files.
Dell E6400 can be flashed with libreboot without tools and is easily obtainable from Ebay.
BSD is on its death bed
https://www.openbsd.org/75.html
https://netbsd.org/releases/formal-10/NetBSD-10.0.html
Considering OpenBSD and NetBSD have had two new releases just this year, and how well funded the BSDs are by major corpos who like ripping source code, I think their so called “Deaths” have been majorly overstated.
Give a BSD a try, it’s a lot less like shoving systemd/apache2/red hat together and reading 300000 line long config files with documentation that clearly was never intended to be read and more like using an actual operating system designed to be cohesive.
Ban security through obscurity. As well proprietary security software.
The government likes proprietary software. They are never going to ban it.
This is a manufactured fake greentext. Some kind of CIA psyop to whitewash 2011 4chan as somehow pro LGBTQ or chill with My Little Pony. I mean there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, it’s just kind of ridiculous to try and act like this comes from 2011.
