The freedom of speech in the USA is very individualistic, just like everything else. Little to no things are thought of in the sense of a community, it’s all about what’s in it for the individual. Traffic is even more car-centric than in Europe. Pure capitalism without a real safety net, because the individual may benefit from it by becoming a millionaire.

In Europe, the sense for community is much stronger, which is also reflected in how freedom of speech is protected in law; Express your thoughts freely, but do not impair the rights of other citizens.

What? It’s written in Germany’s constitution (The “Grundgesetz”, literally “Basic law”) in article 5 that “Every person shall have the right freely to express and disseminate his opinions in speech, writing and pictures”.

Lmao

Yeah totally. also with open source software in general. In the past, most open source software was either not powerful or not pleasant to use. But in the very recent time, multiple projects got massive updates or new projects got created, especially creative software such as Audacity or GIMP.

Maybe it’ll finally be the year of the Linux desktop

I like it. Looks intuitive, which most tools lacked for a long while! Happy to see good progress on this front
