I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post. You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something? Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile. This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue. I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn. But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog." So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms. This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software." You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology. And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community? You can keep it. fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/you… #Linux #GNU #FOSS #Accessibility #BlindTech #FreeSoftware #Gatekeeping #DisabilityInTech #OpenSource #Orca #ScreenReaders #ArchLinux #BurnItDown #blogpost
Čas vyzkoušet nové prostředí – #GNOME48 na #ArchLinux 🎉 #i3 zůstává mým hlavním prostředím pro každodenní práci, ale musím říct, že GNOME 48 vypadá skvěle.
Arch Linux is ready to take on FOSDEM 2025! 💙 We’re armed with stickers, charms and an unstoppable love for open source. Come find us and grab a piece of Arch goodness before they run out (or before someone tries to apt-get them 😉)! #ArchLinux #Linux #FOSDEM #fosdem2025 #foss
Arch Linux is a community-driven Linux distribution for the "do-it-yourself" user.
A couple of Arch Linux maintainers and contributors will give you a status update of what has been happening since the last congress. We'll also allocate time fo...

I use an RSS feed for news, and I’m sure I’m not the only one here on the Fediverse who appreciates the convenience it offers, because it helps me stay informed in a way that suits my preferences.
How do you keep up with the important topics that matter to you?
I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.
Tip You will own nothing, and you will be happy. On my little corner of the internet, I document my adventures in tech and complain about the internet of shit.
Oh no, #nvidia driver bug brakes #vulkan graphical acceleration and many apps using it wont start. Once again nvidia driver pushes me to look for workarounds... 😡
