“I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.”

Where Germany 🇩🇪? Where my 2% non-car-brains?

It is not about annoyance it is about ease of consumption and indirect smoking which kills.

True. It’s close to AOSP. Don’t understand the downvotes.

Sure. And one may argue that that makes it even dumber…

What? If you tax the thing you don’t want and use the money to subside the thing you rather want people will change their habit due to financial insentive?!?? Who could have seen that coming?

Fuck the Commission for removing it. It is so short sighted. Only because something does not provide direct (monetary) benefit it can still provide great (monetary) benefit indirectly.

Und ich habe schon versucht es passend auszudrücken :‘(

Sure. It is just not as easy as with TOR ;^)

Tatsächlich ist freie Weichware (frei als wie in Freiheit) schlau. Privatpersonen können sie ewig kostenfrei ihr Eigen nennen (sehen was ich tat dort?) und der Arbeitnehmer (der meist zu als Arbeitgeber referenziert wird) kann diese ebenfalls frei utilisieren.
