I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Wife, is in fact, GNU/Wife, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wife.
me when i try even coming close yo somone the opposite sex irl: “manpage nonexistent and this situation is unknown WHAT DO I DO IT DOES NOT COMPUTE”
(back wgen my daily driver was dos (yes, in the 21st centory), back when it was windows and now that its linux…yeahhh…even if im a total NOOB at it i have the social skills of someone who spenda all day in the tty…maybe doing tbat but cmd in windows helped a bit xd)
The word “free” does not refer to price; it refers to freedom.
- The freedom to use your wife as you wish, for any purpose.
- The freedom to study how your wife works, and change her so she works for you as you wish, instead of her controlling you.
- The freedom to redistribute your wife to your neighbor.
- The freedom to distribute your modified wife to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changed wife.
Seems like what Dominique Pelicot considered his wife to be. Not an example I am willing to follow, I’ll tell you that.
You have to keep in mind that your wife is her own main maintainer and can decide whether to merge your changes.
You can fork her to obtain someone you have greater influence over but that’s a big responsibility and not everything you want to do with your fork may be advisable from a legal or moral standpoint.
I am the wife.
Unrelated, why aren’t there more women in Linux spaces? We’ll never get to the bottom of it I fear. I haven’t read the comments in this thread yet, I’m sure they’re all completely uncontroversial.
heteronormative assumptions
You could still have a wife yourself, with whichever licensing agreement the two of you negotiate.
oh! it’s you!
The person on reddit that starts all comments with “well actually,”
Can I have an autograph?
It’s spelled, “well acktschually,” and yes, I am free for an autograph m’lady.
because linux users are tech oriented, the market is barely touched by linux, and tech oriented people are disproportunately male/not cisgender women.
Hannah Montana Linux can only do so much /s
edit : added “not cisgender women.” I really don’t want to start a thing about this statement, it’s to align with the pendant that replied to this post.
We need more information to reach people. So far I’ve only seen people be into Linux when they have less social life growing up so they spend time online (not in tiktoks or such like now).
Since most people hearing about Linux from class or other people only hear about the bad aspects or how hard it is if they even hear about it. When I came to US university, I was so surprised noone knew about linux or cared enough except handful of people. And most people did it for work (super computer people, grad students) that didn’t like it and express their opinions openly.
Are you talking about irl Linux spaces? It that a thing? If not, how do you know there aren’t women in online Linux spaces? Fwiw I’m afab nb
Hold on, bout to fork OPs wife
One of the devs she was complaining about got fired. The blowback hit harder though. She got fired, her (former) employer and her personal blog both got DDOSed, and she received a shitload of graphic death threats.
