I hate antichrist meme template.

two people wearing helmets with logos of big corporations are raiding a house. The text below them reads, "we've got you surrounded, use our dis-services".

the person whose house is being raided is hiding, holding a gun with logos of GNU, Linux, Lineageos, Firefox, and Lemmy. The text above him says, "I hate corporations, I hate crony-capitalism."

Everything about Lemmy makes more sense when you realize it’s user base is 95% people with good intentions and absolutely no fucking clue what they’re talking about or how life works outside of computers

Your problem, as a filthy lib, is that you don't see dying in a shootout with the feds and/or Pinkertons as the most American thing you can do.

You merely need to change your perspective to the correct one of getting your guns back from going far enough left.

yeah, the meme template I used is intentionally like that with the trollface and such. sorry if it bothered you. I had to recently interact with one of these dis-services and it made me think of this.

Oh you don't have to apologize, I'm fully aware that's the point! I just thought I was immune to ugly memes by now I guess haha.

I'm not even sure what the message is. FOSS has never been more attractive or easy to use (on the large scale at least, never mind the weirdos freaking over xz). There's FOSS for most everything, in some cases better than most paid options.

Corpos gunning for FOSS? That's always been here.

They're gunning for the user, whom they wish to exploit. The user clings to FLOSS alternatives in an attempt to avoid having their data harvested, analyzed, weaponized, and leveraged against the user for profit.

Yes, Like I literally said: Gunning for FOSS isn't new.
