Summary: George Carlin (1937-2008) said some wise things about how people are led to believe they have freedom because they're given a few choices and how their rights can be taken away or denied at any time
THE stand-up comedian and popular critic of society came from a family cynical about the state of the country (and its society); he repeatedly spoke about how "choice" (like Apple or Microsoft) is used to distract from actual freedom (not just a freedom to make binary choices). Here is what he said about "rights" (similarly animated) in his later days.
George Carlin is an excellent commentator, putting comedy/humour aside. Like a sit-com artist, he takes actual (real) issues and turns them into catchy skits. In some sense, he was ahead of his time. ⬆
If the Web gets polluted or flooded by slopfarms such as these, and Slashdot then sends traffic so these slopfarms (Slashdot probably doesn't do this intentionally), then real writers with real knowledge of GNU/Linux will lose the spark for publishing
Those of us who actually want to reform the industry and put users in control of their systems/devices will recognise that "Open Source" was selling a lie or got-co-opted by liars
The commercial exploitation of users won't stop until users exercise full control over their software or - more broadly - their computing (including data)
