From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

Your comment shows you fundamentally do not understand how societal expectations and rejection affect people psychologically. If half the world was constantly trying to make your life hell, I bet your mental health wouldn't be the best either.
It is far too common to point at depression or anxiety as the problem instead of a symptom of the actual problem.
But making that distinction would require critical thinking, a skill that, for someone calling other people "brainwashed idiots", seems to be sorely lacking...
You're a disgrace to the fictional character you have chosen for your pfp.
It's disingenuous to equate statements like "Most LGBT people suffer from anxiety and depression" and "Being gay is a mental illness". It's the second kind that is the problem, and I don't think anyone is worrying about the first. In fact it's probably in the interest of the LGBT community to spread this message around and get more help.
"They" in the second paragraph seems to refer to the people in power, I don't see where they are blaming "the entire far right".
Trans rights are human rights.
So are all other LGBTQ+ rights.
You will never make me believe that Picard would have felt differently, and if you think he would have, I really don't know how you missed so many of the fundamental messages across all Trek properties.
I didn't see your comment before the mods removed it, but the beauty of Lemmy is it's in the modlog.
Might be, but correlation is not causation. I can understand being anxious when people like trump come to power and I am the first target of repression.
