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.
This is pretty hot.
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’ll fork your wife.
Not your wife’s freedom?
She does the PR reviews and makes the ultimate decision to merge the changes or not.
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.
I am the wife.
So are you or your wife free and open source?
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.
there aren’t more women in linux spaces because of The Creature
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.
looks at comment section yep you’re right, ew
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
Windows users when I ask them if they debloat their girlfriends before using them.
Honestly, I’d love a FOSSWIFE.

When someone gives you that emotionless stare, it means not only is you comment not funny, it’s not really socially acceptable.
Linux users are not all male, or all straight, or single. Outside of incel groups, most groups aren’t (probably even they have members who secretly aren’t!) 😃
Yeah, as a married lesbian linux user the joke is gross and reminds me why so often tech related spaces are so male dominated
Which sucks, because tech needs women. Badly.
The first step will be for more and more of tech management to actually confront their misogyny. And not just the obvious stuff like this, but also subtle stuff like how women’s professional performances are often seen as worse when not blinded.
There is lots to fix. Including the pipe line of Linux devs into the industry.
sorry you have to deal with that. fwiw i cringe when that happens.
Counter question: Is your wife software?
I feel with the rise of AI you’re going to get a lot of yes to this question
trying to get any gf
i have an old xt lying around and a floppy with a copy of 079 in it what could go wrong
we’re all software running on wetware in a meatware shell
Ok Choom.
in my case its just tupperware
does a fleshlight count?
If you’re married to it then i guess it counts
i was joking. im not married to anything.
I know, i was also joking
var lockMy wife, like my WiFi, is a mesh.
Insecure?
We prefer the term “public”
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)
Hey, take my wife for example. No, really, please! I’m begging.
