There is currently no implementation of web standards that is under a more permissive license than LGPL or MPL. I think that is a gap worth filling and if I recall that is what Ladybird is doing.

https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence becomes more relevant every year somehow
the thing is that not all of them use systemd or bash or zsh or even X11 (servers don’t usually have X11 installed)
All of them use a Linux kernel and many components that were originally developed for GNU, especially the C library.
GTK being a part of GNU (at least originally)

“The OS” doesn’t exist. The operating systems you’re talking about are called Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, RHEL, etc etc. The main work of making an actually usable OS from the various free software components others have written has always been done by the teams responsible for these products.
But we still need a way to refer to them collectively, and it used to make sense to call them “Linux” because they were pretty much the only operating systems that used the Linux kernel, but now that Android is the most widely used OS on the planet, it doesn’t anymore, and this alone is a reason to say GNU/Linux unless you want to include Android.

Is there any hope at all left that governments might one day leave us on the Internet in peace?
Excellent. Now do Dissenter.
The whole point of them is to create a voluntary system without copyright.
… not anymore? 😁
I think US First Amendment protections are much stronger than Russia’s equivalent.
At least voters who don’t turn up are harmless. If all the people who voted for EPP-affiliated parties just didn’t turn up instead, we’d face far fewer problems.
Does the average voter just not care at all about anything actually important? What is even going on here?
Future archeologists be like we keep finding microSD cards from the early 21st century and have to wade through all that data to figure out anything about that period, from earlier periods we only have paper records.
ahhh i remember being a bored teenager spending his life customizing his desktop too…
Nowadays I just want a working system where I can get things done, haven’t touched my desktop environment settings in a while and certainly don’t use things like cubes or wobbly windows anymore.
I am so impossibly glad I’m no longer a minor and have no plans to ever have any children. Incredible how adults wanting to control young people’s lives is a phenomenon that is just not dying out.
As for bills to limit “addictive algorithms” blah blah blah: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence kthxbai
as someone whose only escape from real-life horribleness when he was a preteen and early teen was the Internet: how about you stop wanting to control other people’s lives and mind your own business and trust others (yes, even young people) to know what’s good for them and what’s not
Chromium and WebKit both still have bits from KHTML in them which is LGPL
