I had seen a video of this earlier maybe years ago but without the annoying
reporters who don't even pronounce the heretical "ubuntu" right. After seeing
the follow up video, I can identify a strong myth about GNU/Linux, which is
the myth that "it is not for everyone" because you "have to be a tinkerer"
Now imagine I were to go back to 1850 and argue that we should really limit
how much we talked about literacy around slaves. After all, it's not for
everybody, right?
"Tinkering", the news reporters' euphemism for what is really hacking, is for
everybody EXCEPT one type of people: the type we can't afford to have any of,
namely digital slaves. If you don't have knowledge of what makes computers
work and how to communicate with them, you are the digital age equivalent of
an ignorant illiterate fool, and as a certain someone said , "there is
NOTHING more tainted than IGNORANCE".
As society, including everything from Government to entertainment and beyond,
leans on technology as a satisfying crutch, technological illiteracy will be
more and more dangerous.
It looks like the girl is still using Ubuntu, maybe one of us can find a way
to contact her or at least see to it that she gets educated about her
Freedoms.
I want to make sure females especially know about how to build a
technological future based on goodness. Seeing her in that annoying way with
that whiney tone consequentially frustrated and discouraged me at first, but
as they say, a change of heart can occur.
Unfortunately part of GNU/Linux education is telling people that the world up
to this point is built upon basically criminal intents to colonize and
divide, this may seem like making things worse before making them better, but
it is what is is...
