Inaction Helps Your Enemies

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 20, 2026

Pointed out hours ago:

I find it frustrating that none of these 'guardians' of Linux and open source have reacted to the OS-level age verification law

Or as EndeavourOS put it:

This morning we mentioned Microsoft and IBM going ahead with oppressive new measures against GNU/Linux users. This is hardly unprecedented. 'Secure' Boot is another example.

People need to reconsider who speaks for them and works for them. The war on GNU/Linux as a Free Software platform only needs good people to remain quiet, passive, not fight back against the oppressors. Fighting for freedom is not cheap, but it must be done. Without freedom, there's nothing else left. █
