Been thinking about the same thing. Confiscating tax money sure seems like fighting oppression. Probably the same with Church possessions.
Was killing kings deer stealing? Does the king own those.

The Linux User’s Manifesto


We refuse to ask permission to understand our own machines.

We do not kneel before black boxes, sealed gardens, forced updates, rented software, or corporate priests who tell us convenience must cost us control.

A computer is not an appliance for obedience. It is a workshop, a radio tower, a printing press, a laboratory, a synthesizer, a library, and a doorway to other minds.

The user is not a tenant.
The user is not a product.
The user is sovereign.

We choose Linux because freedom is not frictionless. Freedom has configuration files, logs, man pages, and sometimes a blinking shell asking whether we are willing to learn.

We answer yes.

The prompt is not an error.
The prompt is an invitation.

We believe systems should be inspected, modified, repaired, copied, shared, forked, broken, rebuilt, and understood. Source code is a public square. Documentation is a love letter. A bug report is a civic act.

We honor the maintainers, packagers, translators, kernel hackers, distro builders, mirror operators, forum elders, and anonymous strangers who solved our exact problem twelve years ago and left the answer online.

We reject artificial scarcity. We reject the idea that culture must be locked, knowledge metered, repair forbidden, and curiosity monetized.

We reject systems designed to make helplessness feel normal.

Architecture is politics. Protocols are politics. Defaults are politics. Encryption is dignity expressed in mathematics. Interoperability is a refusal of captivity.

Network is a dance floor. The distro is the sound system. The kernel is the bassline. The shell is the strobe. The repo is the crate. The community is the rave.

No kings.
No landlords.
No walled gardens.
No silent telemetry.
No forced obsolescence.
No contempt for the user.

We do not demand that everyone become an expert. We demand that everyone retain the right to become one.

We believe beginners are future maintainers. We remember our first broken boot, our first permissions mistake, our first triumphant `sudo`, and our first realization that the machine was not magic.

It was legible.

We do not worship difficulty. We want systems that are humane, powerful, transparent, and hackable: desktops for children, servers for dissidents, laptops for artists, clusters for scientists, routers for villages, and old machines resurrected from the landfill.

We run Linux not because it is perfect.
We run Linux because perfection is less important than freedom, and freedom is something you can debug.

Read the source.
Share the tools.
Encrypt the message.
Patch the system.
Fork the future.

Login accepted.

Try standing sometimes? Yi quan especially suits me.

Zapstore gives this when searching for Iris. Is there an easy way for user to know which of those are relevant ones?

There's a downside. In this case you give your data to the exchange. Immediate need for coinjoin coordinator in the fork coin.

Can canverse with most and somewhat understands the bright?
