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.

That’s love
Now I can tell people I strive to be FOSS rather tham say I’m into bimbofication.
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.
This is why you don’t have a wife lol.
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.
Too “I use arch BTW” to tip your " fedora"?
I’ll see myself out
I have done research into this protocol.
I am the wife.
So are you or your wife free and open source?
A fellow linux girl!!! It’s nice to not feel so alonee
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.
You mean to tell me https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/unixsocks aren’t women? Fooled by Rule 37 again.
they are probably non cisgender, and that’s as far as I’m going with this statement.
I was being cheeky, lol. Thanks for the update. Was not intending to come off as trying to start a serious conversation about gender identity. I debated throwing a /s but figured the rule 37 reference was enough.
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.
maybe not cis women.
there aren’t more women in linux spaces because of The Creature
what is the creature? I don’t follow.
That’s just my mother in law.
baduum tss
An actually helpful answer is that there is a creator on tiktok called offlain who makes a series of videos called “try not to get scared scariest stories”. The series has a rotating cast of characters such as Mr teeth, the meatworm, evil knife guy, the fuck you guy, Jeffs the killer, and The Creature. The creature is a cow that the narrator is scared of. Here’s a popular The Creature story: I am so excited for the movie, I exclaims with excitement. But little did I know it would be a feature, a creature feature. Featuring… The Creature."
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
IRL Linux spaces are a thing, just look for a local keep meetup or something, they’re everywhere.
Hold on, bout to fork OPs wife
That’s so uncool. They should be sitting next to that OP so they can share in the humor.
Sad 😔I committed
Didn’t she get them fired for that?
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.

What a bitch
In chess, right?
Right?
Um sure? As long as she is up for it. I love her, I don’t own her. Keep it safe, sane, and consensual, then who am I to argue.
As long as she is up for it.
That would be DRM you corpo shill!
But she does own you
Nah bro
Female bad
Sure, here’s her genome. Feel free to compile one yourself.
Windows users when I ask them if they debloat their girlfriends before using them.
You can’t see her because she’s decentralized
…I’m not crying
I don’t have the actual hardware, it’s all virtual and she runs in my head
I just run docker containers for the components I need, without the overhead for the whole system.
I have her as a second partition in my main (read: internal) storage.
i have her as an iframe
I just found out she federated with threats :(

I don’t own my wife.
You can have the code to my kernel, sure. You don’t get a login on my machine, though, and you’re definitely not on the sudoers list.
Honestly, I’d love a FOSSWIFE.
New type of hotwife just dropped
Wife? What’s that? My Wi-Fi isn’t free, though.
You should install OpenWRT then
OpenWRT still relies on proprietary firmware for WiFi to work
Please no body shaming here. Our wifives can be a little chubby but please do not imply that they are bloated it’s the love (and packages) that we receive that truly matter
You must mean WiFi.
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.
Why yes, I 3D printed her parts myself.
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
