How much does fascism come up wrt operating systems? It seems a bit out of left field unless it's rhetoric to overthrow project leaders that consider themselves "BDFL"s. Even if that is the case it's incredibly melodramatic melodramatic to conflate LKML with Der Sturmer. I don't think project management strategies necessarily line up with political systems.

here's a good introduction to fascist operating systems: https://vastabrupt.com/2018/10/31/gender-acceleration/

i can only hope this is a bad inside joke

This is a little tidbit of the internet that is not web2.0 js react ad infested and people are hating on it? C'mon, it's someone's personal podcast where they talk about what they want. If topics such as anarchism and human rights are important to him, he has a platform to shout out his beliefs from.

What’s this i didn’t quite understand this website Can anyone explain me what’s going on?

> GNU World Order is an internet audio show about GNU, Linux, UNIX, and other technical and geeky topics. I release this show in open source audio formats. This is an anarcho-syndacalist, anti-facist, and pro-human-rights podcast. I stand in solidarity with all people of colour, of marginalised communities, and the oppressed around the globe. Leave your ad blockers on.

I like open source audio formats (opus!) but it is my understanding that patents on MP3 and the most popular configs for AAC are expired.

Bad UX does not equal to not using modern techniques. He has a platform and that’s nice, but it is not the most user friendly.

Does this name violate the GNU trademark? I think a reasonable case could be made that the FSF using the "GNU [xyz]" format for all of their products could make this appear to be an endorsement. IANAL but this seems like it could be an issue for them

It's not strictly related to operating systems but it's been coming up in many online forums around all sort of topics.

Look at some discussion groups around well-known software projects and you'll find people dropping far-right dog whistles, arguments around someone's pronouns and the occasional flamewar.

Honestly I am literally shaking with rage over the top center image. Put so damn much effort into beautiful symmetry and then just said fuck it with the one blank space to the left of “Welcome to” but TWO blank spaces to the right of it? I mean wtf was he/she thinking? Just do “ Welcome “ /s

wow ya'll, it's a podcast. i can see the relevant content, the episode listing guide quit easily, perfectly fine. there's a header/banner that says what it is that makes it obviously clear: > "GNU World Order is an internet audio show about GNU, Linux, UNIX, and other technical and geeky topics. I release this show in open source audio formats. This is an anarcho-syndacalist, anti-facist, and pro-human-rights podcast…

My post ends with /s and was a snarky way of saying exactly what you just said.
