I really dig Philosophize This

Not as in-depth as reading books of course, but it's very pleasant to listen to and you'll get a rough overview of who's who and can then go on to reading something referenced in the podcast that interests you.

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!

I like this take a lot. Noone should be kept from educating themselves due to their financial means or lack thereof, especially since a lot of e.g. research is financed through money from the state i.e. money that belongs to the public.

Klingt ganz interessant. Wie findet man so eine Einrichtung?

This is in reference to the teenager shot in France when he was stopped by police. Fuck you OP.

I was surprised to see them join the blackout as it felt like most people shared the sentiment that the NBA finals were more important than any protest, as well as the general opinion of any boycott / protest etc. being useless in general. Was kinda sad to see.
