@wakame @jwz exactly :D

@jwz I want to fork and maintain a Linux distro approximately as much as I want to learn how to do my own dentistry at home using only supplies I can find in my junk drawer, and yet *here we are.* I'm going to hold out hope for now that Debian does the right thing here and rejects censorship (as it has done for the last 27 years I've been using it).

[prefec2@norden.social]

@jwz well I can understand why they implement it. However, I would prefer whether it is an optional thing so I do not need to fork the shit for sane countries.

[salemslot@mastodon.social]

@jwz now that i finally was comfortable with #ubuntu this means i gotta switch and get rid of it as it is #debian based. What a shitshow. All that work migrating away from snoopy ms windows just to get to the same result.

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@SalemsLot @jwz Hahahaha. Seriously? You decided to use a distribution made by Big Tech containing tons of anti-freedom software (including Snap, based 100% on Canonical's commercial, proprietary, corporate-controlled, monolithic "app store"), and now you want to get rid of it because its upstream added an optional field to a JSON file 🤣😂🤦🤦🤦.

Ooooh, this world is such a circus.

@jwz Surely this is a parody? This seems ... very strange.

[virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca]

@jwz
Now THAT'S a modest proposal!

[boredomfestival@sfba.social]

@jwz he forgot to add the bit about how the poor should sell their children as food to the wealthy

[regendans@todon.eu]

@chansecodina @jwz No need to maintain a new fork. Devuan is a Debian soft fork without systemd since about 2016. https://www.devuan.org

[salemslot@mastodon.social]

@nik @jwz Thanks for your condescending and arrogant lecture, that way i can block you faster.

[mat@friendica.exon.name]

@jwz I kinda unironically wanna see something like this tried. In much the same way that zonedb is performance art.

[riese@soc.iotaomegapsi.io]

@jwz the fuck?

I've read the first few posts in the original Ubuntu thread.

Am I mad? Or are they?
In the first few everyone just ponders how to actually do the censoring.
None asked the obvious question: ARE YOU BARKING MAD?

[aebrockwell@qoto.org]

@jwz Given the ridiculously stupid things happening in the world now, I had this sinking feeling that it would be for real. But after reading FloofyWolf's full post, I'm fairly certain it is satirical.

(See https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2026/03/msg00018.html )

For me #Linux is the last bastion of computing freedom, now that MS and Apple appear to have become largely just #enshittified marketing/surveillance/fee-charging engines. I can certainly imagine a future where Linux (of all flavors) is under all-out assault from the tech-bros.
