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.

Why do we need to separate somebodies core beliefs from the person?
That is the person. What they do and what they believe makes them who they are. I hate this "please just ignore this massive section of what makes up a person" trend. Sure though, you can still like this video separating creator from content, but if somebody does something terrible it's ok to no longer like that person as shown here with "I love them" followed by "I now understand more about this person and no longer love them"

Welcome to authoritarianism! In politics, beliefs often change over time, and often isn't a “core” belief as you state. Life experiences help with this change in so-called core beliefs. Belief is fluid.
Authoritarianism is when you judge people by their actions and beliefs, today I learned.
I'm sorry, that's incredibly funny. I love lemmy all the weirdos come out to say the wildest shit.
Sure, their core beliefs can change, as can my opinion of them when this happens.
To clarify. Authoritarianism is the belief that a singular authority should hold strong control over a system often meaning those who act against it or disagree should face punishment output by said system. I dislike people who agree with that idea, but if they change their opinion mine may too
They're from Mastodon, even wilder things happen there.
