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.

Is Lemmy going to allow Intel posts and forget that Intel is on the top of the list for BDS?
@AgreeableLandscape@lemmygrad.ml sorry to tag the top mod
Ah shoot, I wasn't aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn't any sort of news about "hey buy our new product" or something like it.
I don’t think it’s feasible to blacklist posts about Intel in computer science related communities, to be perfectly blunt.
I'll let you guys make the decision about what to do. At least do let me comment that supporting Intel is supporting genocide.
I type this on a 1 year old desktop with an Intel chip. So hey, we're all learning.
Feel free to ignore hexbear users.
It's your time, do with it what you will.
