Let's take a trip to the past, let's say 2 years after 2008-9 destruction of #gaza by #IsraelTerroristState. "Research by the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme indicates that the psychological effects of the attack are profound. Out of a sample of 374 children questioned, over 73 per cent thought they were going to die during the violence. Almost 68 per cent of the children - all aged between 6 and 16 -fear that a similar attack will occur in the future, and 41 per cent expressed a strong desire for revenge." If you can recognize any connection with today's Gaza militants, you found the point. Let's talk about Hamas now...

Modern Linux desktops can use proprietary software. Nvidia drivers are the prime example. Depending on your hardware, you might also use more proprietary blobs that enable your wifi, or bluetooth to work.
If you're a Chrome user, you're using proprietary software. If you're a gamer, chances are you're also using proprietary platforms.
Stallman eats something off his foot:
Reasons you might want more commercial, proprietary applications: these probably all boil down to "I need these apps to use Linux as a daily driver".
The apps people generally clamor for are Microsoft Office, the Adobe Suite, CAD software like AUtoCAD, a lot of games, streaming software, OCR software, voice synthesizers, plenty of VFX related software, this type of stuff: generally things that you'd need to use Linux professionally in certain fields.
That's the main reason: it's a make or break thing for a lot of professionals for them personally to be able to move to Linux.
Getting more users is the only way we'll all get a better experience all around. Not only because having more users means potentially finally getting these AAA commercial apps like MS Office or the Adobe Suite, but also because the more users you have, the more chance you have of them becoming contributors.
Now, let's look at the reasons to keep Linux desktops as Free and open source as possible. First, we have amazing applications that are free of charge, and free software.
We could argue that if we want these apps to thrive, we need to only have these apps available, and not their proprietary counterparts: basically a "throw the kid in the pool so it can learn to swim" approach.
If we want the FOSS ecosystem to develop and grow and improve, we need to make sure that people who move to Linux use these applications, and not the ones they're already familiar with.
There's also the philosophical aspects. Having proprietary offerings on Linux might end up "tainting" this enclave and making it worse, by encouraging the commercial practices of these companies, and erasing the mentality that many Linux users like.
So, either you think proprietary applications are necessary to have more market share, more users, and for everyone to be able to use Linux as a desktop, or you think proprietary apps will taint Linux and damage our existing FOSS applications. You might think Linux needs more users, or that it doesn't.
In both cases, you might be right! Personally, I'm in the camp of "use what works". I have a preference for FOSS if it works for me, but if none of the alternatives offer something I'm comfortable with, I won't hesitate to use proprietary apps and software.
If you're not in the same camp, that's perfectly ok too! That's the beauty of the Linux desktop: whether it gets proprietary apps or not, it will still be a viable option for us who already use it.

Defender AV is free to use, included with the Windows OS, and can work even with a competitive EDR, if preferred. I guess I don't really see what the concern is about.
They could definitely be turning the screws harder and more blatantly than they are; but it's both hard, an probably unwise, to remember the incentives that come with 'security' being a distinct division doing ~$20 billion a year in revenue rather than just part of the development process.
If it's the only mitigation for your own software defect you'd better have a good story about how hard you worked to get it to all AV vendors who care even slightly.

I see a news story about an investigation opened by federal prosecutors or a new finding by the CDC, and I start to take the announcement at face value: "Huh. What did the target of the investigation do? What did the scientists discover?" Then I remember that these aren't legitimate agencies any more; they've been taken over by Trump loyalists and redirected to purely political ends.
Here's a reminder that the Wikipedia editors justified the inclusion of their page on the Gaza genocide by saying that they personally are not qualified to judge either way and went with the overwhelming majority of scholarly assessments of the matter, and that it wasn't even close.
You can find plenty genocide scholars and international lawyers who won't say anything at all, because they neither want to confirm the obvious nor destroy their credibility by denying it, and you can find some who'll go with “It's obviously all the worst war crimes and crimes against humanity, but genocide is not quite provable.” But there are literally no serious and qualified experts out there making any kind of credible attempt at validating the “not even close to genocide, and obviously so" claim. bird.makeup/users/alonso_gd/st…

If we start with the Linux kernel, in 2020, for version 5.10, there were almost 2000 different contributors, only 252 of which shared their first contribution. 228 companies also contributed work, and the top 20 companies contributed 70% of the changes in the kernel itself. THe biggest contributors? Huawei, Intel, Red Hat, Google, but we also see Facebook, Oracle, and Samsung in there.
But this doesn't mean that all the code these companies want to push, is accepted. The code is signed off on by subsystem maintainers and reviewers. And we see that big companies also have a hand on code validation, with Red Hat, Facebook, Google and Huawei being among the biggest.
Linux as a project, doesn't really have a roadmap. It's not like people meet in a boardroom to decide what they'll focus on next. People just propose their work, and it's either accepted, or not. So, companies who contribute have their own roadmaps, that require them to add some code to the Linux kernel, and this code kinda becomes the roadmap of the kernel itself.
The Linux Foundation is a big actor in how Linux is shaped and where it goes. And if we look at the board of directors for the Linux Foundation, we find a lot of big companies again: Sony, Intel, Huawei, Tencent, Meta, IBM, Microsoft, Samsung, Oracle, and more.
So, we come full circle: however well managed and structured the linux kernel development is, at every step, the code is written by people working for big companies, and big companies employ the maintainers who approve the code, which in turn is approved by Torvalds, who works for the Linux foundation, which is controlled by the board of directors, made up of employees of big companies. But is that really a problem?
Well, Linux might be mainly developed by people working for big companies, but it's still open source. You can still fork it, you can still grab the code, modify it, and redistribute it. And you can also look at the code, and detect all that shady stuff.
Which means the minute anything remotely weird, privacy invasive, or limiting to users makes it to the kernel, you'll get an immediate fork, or at least a new kernel version being distributed which removes all that crap.
Also important to remember: these big companies don't contribute just for fun. They contribute what they want or need to make their own products, services, and businesses run.
And it also works as some kind of mutually assured destruction: if a company ever wanted to add some crappy code to the kernel, it would hurt its competitors who also use Linux. So these guys would oppose the patch, or refuse to let it through. And the company would probably end up being banned from contributing at all.
And also, Linus Torvalds is the ultimate gatekeeper on the kernel: what goes in or not, goes through him. And fortunately, Torvalds is aware that corporate involvement can be tricky to handle. In a interview he gave in 2021, when being asked about financial sustainability, he says he has always been wary of being too tainted by commercial interests. He said that he didn't want to work for a Linux company to avoid that and stay as a neutral party. He also knows that it's not easy to work with companies and that they don't know how to do open source in a lot of cases.

Στο επίκεντρο της ανασκόπησης βρέθηκαν 15 νέα επενδυτικά σχέδια, συνολικού ύψους άνω των 2,4 δισ. ευρώ, τα οποία –σύμφωνα με τον πρωθυπουργό– θα δημιουργήσουν θέσεις εργασίας και θα ενισχύσουν την παραγωγή με υψηλή προστιθέμενη αξία. Ειδική μνεία έγινε στον τομέα των ημιαγωγών, με τον κ.

Στόχος του Ηγέτη είναι η δημιουργία μιας εγχώριας αλυσίδας παραγωγής τεχνολογικής αξίας, με την επένδυση στην παραγωγή γαλλίου – υλικού κρίσιμης σημασίας για την κατασκευή μικροκυκλωμάτων.

Last year while walking my dog, I found a couple of cut off pieces of these plants on the sidewalk of our town. Someone had cut them off and dropped them on the street.
Brought them home, cleaned them up, removed some leafs and put it in pots on my balcony.
The App PlantNet identifies it as Heartleaf iceplant" or " Baby sun rose" (گل ناز یخی) They have been growing beautifully since then and giving me cute pretty red flowers that turns into a slightly larger lighter red /dark pink color before drying out.
Now I have 3 of them, one has multiple branches, some over 60cm long.
I know them, we have them here, they grow like crazy. Once we cut a lot in one place and just threw the rest over a piece of very thin, bad soil - after a while they grew and covered the whole lot. @plants
Mahmoud Al-Ghafari remembers his son, Yousef, who was killed in the Gaza genocide. “Israel killed Yousef, snuffed out his dreams, and silenced his beautiful spirit,” he writes. “For no crime other than the fact that fate decreed he be born in Gaza.”
For as long as I live, I will never forget that the whole world watched Israel starve 2 million innocent people in Gaza, killing children on a daily basis and did nothing to stop it, even worse, punished those trying to end it and helped, funded, protected and armed the genocidal regime of Netanyahu.
@Babalugats so did UK, Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, UAE, KSA, Canada, China and Russia.
No one other than Hezbollah of Lebanon, resistance of Iraq, Houtis of Yemen and Iran have done anything significant to stop this ongoing genocide.
Even south Africa going to ICC and Spain talking about Sancrioning is just insignificant actions with absolute 0 consequences for the genocidal regime of Netanyahu
I'm referring to actually enabling. None of those other countries enabled by donating money, arms and preventing goods.
I'm not excusing any of them, but the might of the US, Germany and UK are difficult to go against. In Germany, UK and USA you can get arrested just for protesting against it.
South Africa, Ireland, Norway and Spain have all made their opinions known about it, but (I think) are all neutral countries, not that a war would solve the genocide anyway. But for sure, more countries need to do more than vocalise, and more people need to boycott the right people and products to have any effect.
@Babalugats Actually the Gulf states and Jordan actively helped Israel when they could have at least chosen to do nothing about it. They kinda profited from it:
