Welcome to the Linux for Leftists community! We are here to spread not only information about Linux, but also about free software in general, privacy, security, free hardware as well as hardware capable of working with almost 100% free software. For this we have prepared guides, as to ease people into these topics, without them having to repeat questions or having them need to spend an afternoon looking for posts.

This list is never finished, however the guides should be helpful enough.

So you want to get into Linux?

So you'd like to be a (pragmatic) Free Software extremist?

So you want to secure your communications?

If you find the list lacks a guide the community could use, make one yourself, make a post about the creation of one, or DM an active mod. You can also open an issue on NotABug. We'll figure something out.

Open Letter | NixOS Users Against MIC Sponsorship (nixos-users-against-mic-sponsorship.github.io)

It is understood that people attached to the Military Industrial Complex or close the Military Industrial Complex should be able to participate in NixCon, whether as organizers, speakers, or attendees. Their attachment to the Military Industrial Complex should not be taken against the individuals.

This is a bit of a "separating the art from the artist" issue. If some person works for MIC, they're part of the problem and they deffo shouldn't be allowed to participate. So I'd say this letter isn't fully being against MIC involvement, however, it's better than nothing. At least the direction is more correct than just accepting MIC sponsorship quietly.

Perhaps this has some effect if it gains a significant amount of signatures.

BTW: There is also a clowny NixOS Users For Western Military and Governments Support which hopefully gains no support, but hey, at least the imperialist lap dogs are outing themselves.
