Piped
piped.kavin.rocksessentially, a bunch of linux/bsd users were unhappy that the computers they bought came with windows licenses they couldn’t get their money back for, so they organised a protest outside microsoft’s hq in california. it didn’t work, but it made microsoft’s scummy business practices a bit more known. i’ve linked a good video about it.

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.
