which is going to be all tech legally required to :(

I grew up in a time of technology being a liberating force that helped us live in a society more firmly based on individual rights.

I no longer live in that world.

OK, I wasn’t familiar with that term; TIL. Again, it’s not terminology I would personally have used; calling it a “fascist creed” over that still sounds like an exaggeration.

“Heritage is duty” refers to the heritage of computing, not of human beings. Completely non-outrageous in context.

“Command is service”, ok, that explains why Omarchy isn’t a democracy. I think many other FOSS projects aren’t either, so I don’t see anything outrageous in that either.

And you may of course disagree with their opinion on “Code-of-Conduct struggle sessions and identity-overload nonsense” (not words I would have used). Many completely well-meaning people hold different opinions on those topics.

Congratulations, you’ve just managed to advertise the exact thing you oppose. I would likely have given zero attention or thought to Omarchy today if I hadn’t seen this thread.

Also, I just read that “The Omarchy Doctrine” page; if someone seriously thinks that is a “fascist creed”, then that is very interesting. About the person who thinks that. If someone could help me figure out what part of that is supposed to be outrageous or especially controversial, I’d appreciate any help!

How ironic that you posted this and thus caused people to talk about the technology you want to give no attention to.

Haven’t heard of anything about this being done on a device level.

Then you simply missed a few news stories:

• https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jun/08/starmer-tech-firms-ultimatum-block-explicit-images-children-phones from 3 months ago
• https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2026/09/government-look-to-impose-mandatory-age-verification-on-uk-smartphones.html from today

This is why countries need constitutions that limit what laws governments are allowed to pass. This is approximately the prototype of something governments just shouldn’t be allowed to ever do.

I don’t know if that’s true if they don’t publish a list of that. I certainly wouldn’t know how.

Yes. I have seen comments before from obscure instances that didn’t seem to be open to the public. It wouldn’t really make much technical sense to prevent that.

this, and also: what exactly is the question?!

If the Lemmy instance isn’t public anyway, then it seems like its federation list doesn’t have to be public either, so other instance admins would have no way of knowing what such an instance federates with.

No, not at all.

After your edit, it is slightly clearer what you are asking. But this is still a matter of desktop environment more than distro.

??????

Me too. It even supports connecting to SFTP servers (maybe needs an extension).

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution is a part of the US Constitution that prohibits laws violating certain specific rights, two of them being the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Many other countries have some equivalent to this too.

The relevance here is that taking photos of public spaces is part of freedom of speech and of the press.

While I agree with the petition, it shouldn’t be limited to Windows, it should be about software freedom…

from proprietary software, not from Microsoft; nothing wrong with using free software just because it was developed by Microsoft

I thought the goal was precisely not profit? 😂😂😂

But yes, this is exactly what I meant.

“Web” means HTTP and HTML.

I fail to understand the point of this.

If the goal is to be able to deliver documents without any JS, cookies, tracking, etc., then why not just deliver documents that way through the web? No one is forcing anyone to put those things on any website.
