The enemy is both strong and weak

No, this is in fact a leaked scene from the upcoming Magic the Gathering expansion, Reality Fracture. One of the major plot points involves an omenpath opening up between Bikini Bottom and the Land of Ooo.

The original image was of Michelle Obama hugging George W. Bush. Those of us who were around back then remember how ghoulish W. Bush’s administration was, and he is being rehabilitated by liberals in present era. So this meme is suggesting that a future Republican leader will come around and then liberals will rehabilitate Trump in order to frame that new republican as the ultimate evil.

Arrested Development was literally a satire of the Bush family/administration, whom are now being rehabilitated by usonian liberals.

Indeed, it is in reference to its long wings, not a penis. There are several other insects and birds whose scientific names include this term.

I’m a little bit on the fence about this. I use linux-libre on my desktop and laptop (because I bought hardware specifically for it) but I recognize the limitations of linux-libre for “normal” users or Windows migrants, so I’m loath to try to suggest a linux-libre distro as a beginner’s GNU/Linux.

I’m thinking having vanilla Linux with non-free drivers/firmware would make libre distros more accessible to “normal” users, so I’m not sure I’m 100% opposed to this. However, I’m cautious of this being a slippery slope. Someone says they need Steam or MS Office or Discord or whatever other non-free thing to function correctly and distros are now pressured to accept non-free userland programs, because they already made the concession to allow non-free firmware. There would need to be an acknowledgement that enabling hardware to function is a special case and not an invitation to allow all sorts of other non-free stuff in the distro.

With Guix System, which is an FSDG distro (more strict on software freedom than Debian), there is a third party channel that offers vanilla Linux with non-free firmware alongside other non-free userland software. I’ve considered separating Linux into its own channel and advertising it, because while I’m open to allowing non-free firmware for the purpose of enabling hardware I’m still vehemently against non-free software elsewhere.

The “Freedom Phone” despite the name isn’t such a device, it’s just a rebranded budget Android phone.
