Friendly reminder: the mods are watching.
Alexander Ward
thank you based sans-salarie man
Jackson Roberts
>"Free software... Free society"
But but but, in such a society I should be FREE to run whatever OS and software I want, and if that happens to be Windows then what, I get slammed and lambasted because I exercise my FREEDOM to run whatever the fuck I want.
So fuck you and your so-called freedom, and I say that because I'm FREE to do so.
Isaiah Clark
Go out. It's the 1000th time you post it.
Lucas Butler
yeah i dont like the gpl either bsd licences are better
Zachary Morgan
Friendly reminder.
This thread is about GNU/Linux.
Not about software licensed and Stallman's affection to weird shit.
Henry Martinez
The name GNU is ugly and Stallman is an autist who hasn't coded in years. I also support Steam which is against what the FSF preaches. I don't think free software translates well to games. GPLed games are all terrible.
Robert Adams
postal 1 is now gpl user
Ethan Kelly
Sometimes the truth is hard to understand. The reality is, you dont haveto use gnu, it is one of a plethora of userlands you can use. Furthermore, without the Linux Kernel(which loads first) gnu is just programs waiting to be activated.
good, then stick to using that retarded name when referring to your system alone.
Luke Smith
linux is just an application loaded by systemd
Mason Cruz
>systemd >not using proprietary software >using """""""libre""""""" crapware >not knowing the feeling of actually getting shit done How can anybody be this delusional?
Christian Russell
@58248069 what???
Cooper Jones
Ok, sure. Its a legit argument.
Jason Stewart
RMS sometimes even recommends the BSD licence when, at the end, it does the Free Software Movement more good than not to use it. Which basically also explains why is stupid.
>This isn't a sporting event, this is war. >-- RMS :^)
Joshua Brown
>this is war kek, that's from the copyright talk 2 threads ago, right?
Aaron Richardson
How to get reputation on stack overflow? Every answer is LITERALLY fucking answered within minutes. How can normal men even compete?
Nicholas Young
Are you being retarded on purpose? Fuck off to daily scrub thread with these kinds of questions.
>2 hours of incoherent autistic ramblings Sorry, not interested in your ideology.
Nathan Peterson
I think you should watch it for 2 reasons:
a) either you get out enlightened or b) you have even more target surfaces to attack him
It's simply a win/win situation.
Jeremiah Morris
TODAY I LEARNT i can use mpv to play youytube videos. Just intalled this application. Fucking cool desu senpai!!!11
Nolan Perry

Is it possible to encrypt the whole drive in Linux after installing linux? Kinda like Veracrypt in Windows.
Hudson Gomez
What do you have to hide?
David Green
I don't want someone stealing my computer and accessing my emails and accounts.
David Mitchell
>needing more "target surfaces" when his entire world view is based on false premises Nice try, cultist. I have already watched a few of his other videos then made predictions about what's contained in videos I haven't watched yet. Most of them came true. Not interested in your ideology though.
Alexander Gomez
No, Linux isn't capable of that yet. It's really shitty compared to Windows after all.
Adrian Anderson
For emails you should set up GPG. Mails are basically just like post cards, everyone can read them on their way to the reviever.
Robert Morgan
encrypt /home
Asher White
just stop fucking replying to him.
It's afternoon in the US and kids just got from school. He comes here everyday and posts the same stale shit.
Stop being a newcunt and just don't reply. You'll see how quickly he leaves
I'd recommend "open-with" for FF, since you can basically use ANYTHING, like, running shell scripts on the current url. Also stop using chrome, wtf.
Jason Richardson
>Also stop using chrome, wtf. Or what?
Aaron Barnes
>Also stop using chrome, wtf. I linked both cause I had no idea what he used.
I found that "open with" has a terrible impact on my startup performance for unknown reason
Lucas Collins
its funny how less than 2 weeks ago, no one cared. Now, anons are calling everyone 'new'.
Easton Davis
It should be possible in principle. But it won't be as easy as it is with Veracrypt.
They way you'd go about it is to make a complete copy of your current install on a different drive (external HDD or flash drive), for instance using rsync. Then you can set up full disk encryption with dm-crypt or whatever you decide to use. Then you'd transfer the copy you made back onto the encrypted drive and set up the boot loader which will now have to decrypt the parition before the OS is loaded.
It's probably easier to just copy whatever personal files, config files etc. you have and completely re-install Linux and all programs.
Parker Butler
Give me a ................ if you think that if not for the stroke of genius that is GPL, GNU+Linux would be just another pathetic, forgotten conglomeration of irrelevant software just like BSD.
Austin Walker

Logan Flores
Could you fuck off mate?
Jack Taylor
The truth can really hurt, can't it?
Jaxon Cook
If you are so high struck against using closed source, proprietary software, then why on gods earth would you be posting on Sup Forums?
Cooper Hughes
BSD License. (back side deflowering)
Benjamin Sanchez
MODS
Sebastian Gonzalez
What is the point in constantly derailing free software threads with cancerous repeating bait?
Joshua Young
so no argument? i knew you guys were just trying to fit in.
James Stewart
fuck off neo Sup Forums, feel free to shitpost your "> he fell for the linux meme" crap, but leave fglt alone
Camden Flores
you're dumb. gnu is for pretentious faggots. get over it.
William Parker
i think you need to learn what "bait" is, plebbitor.
Michael Butler
It's ok to be a cuck. It's okay to like it. But don't pretend that it isn't cuckoldry.
Julian Thomas
>It's ok to be a cuck. and why am i not surprised a gnu cuck says this?
James Brooks
Friendly reminder. inb4 deep
Camden Thompson
Yeah, we all know you are a cuck who likes it. Your point?
Camden Young
>we That's why the ip count didn't increase since you posted, right?
Chase Hernandez
>a loosely connected group of individuals with slightly overlaping interests >community stopped reading right there.
Camden Wright
I encrypted my home folder, but just at the end there was some sort of error, but everything appears to be ok. Is there a way to see if my files are actually encrypted?
Elijah Barnes
An IP counter which increases every single post isn't very useful, don't you think?
Luis James
Just stop. What ever someone says, even if it's pure disinformation, bullshit, thread derailing, whatever; censorship is worse.
Cameron Cooper
He isn't able to comprehend that. He just wouldn't have made that post if that weren't the case.
Angel Myers
Lmao, all these freetards using a propriety website with botnet captcha. Install a real OS like BSD, you cucks. BSD is maki approved and she's the queen of Sup Forums
Lucas Johnson
doesn't change the fact that these thread were good before these faggots appeard it's every fucking thread the same pasta bullshit next thread: >is it true that bash is made by a black?
those retards need to be removed
Isaiah Turner
Shitposting has never been fun. Mods, just nuke this board for a few weeks, maybe then it will be less shit.
Luis Richardson
my solution: Sup Forums needs to split into tech and consumer electronics
Ryan Morris
No wonder bash is trash, it was made by a nigger.
Liam Gray
No, it is you who has to be removed if you keep advocating for censorship. Your kind of people can fuck off to sites where censorship is already heavily used. >Shitposting has never been fun. >maybe then it will be less shit. Spotted the redditor.
David Brown
You are right and wrong. It's bad for the thread that there are people who enjoy to destroy it, but it's worse to call for censorship as solution since it removes free speech.
Aaron Flores
Yeah, we should be like 8ch where we value free speech and ensure leftists are told to fuck off.
Colton Moore
is Sup Forums being invaded?
started off with the >womyn coders and pajeet threads, made its way to /fglt/
ripip in piss
Easton Lopez
Yeah, it's being invaded by these nasty Sup Forums trolls
Cameron Green
That won't solve shit since you still have side mentality ingrained on the most mundane shit.
You sure love your dotted lines. Shitposting is honest to goodness shit. There's no subtlety nor creativity, just shit.
Caleb Rivera
>thinking tech is right wing >mentioning 8ch on a normie site kill yourself
Evan Brown
>Low quality trash should be protected because muh free speech Kill yourself back on the way to reddit
Ayden Stewart
pls respond
Lucas Sanchez
I don't care about your feelings. Keep your censorship contained to your subreddit and don't bring it over here. >muh Back to your subreddit.
Jonathan James
He's right. Also if you enjoy censorship, it's your turn to leave to rebbit.
Christopher Murphy
I think that Torvalds made that clear a lot of times.
Liam Adams
>reddit >free speech lmao nice one
Adam Hughes
>is Sup Forums being invaded? hownew.ru
Jaxon Walker
Deleting shitposts isn't censorship you reddit filth.
Connor Cox
Oh sorry, guys. I thought this was the friendly BSD thread. Guess I'll fuck off and quit being an annoying fucking smelly shitstain, then. Have a nice day.
Adam Murphy
This.
Then again it's hard for a person who got here with the recent wave of Trump redditors to grasp such concept.
Rule 6 clearly says
>The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.
Of course - again hard concept to grasp for a redditor since on reddit the "quality of posts made by users is determined by the amount of upvotes it gets.
Hunter Russell
>burning "bad" books to enforce your opinion isn't censorship
Joshua Parker
Can't compile; missing quote.
Josiah Wood
All posts eventually die in this site, that's a pretty shitty analogy. Also, no one said anything about different opinions. Shitposting is just shit. At least make it entertaining instead of fishing for dotted lines.
Brandon Bennett
False analogy. The mods reserve the right to ban you at any time you shit up this website. Hell, on Sup Forums a while back a mod was publicly executing people left and right with public bans. Shitposting kills this website and deserves to be deleted for being low quality.
Jacob Edwards
Even shitposts can cause an interesting discussion just like it currently happens about censorship.
Aaron Lopez
It sure isn't happening right now. What was this thread again?
Carter Price
>burn all low quality humans and their opinions about tech on a tech board surely Sup Forums is here
