LOL - my opinion exactly
I install 9front releases, screw with a couple windows, and give up again. It's a cycle.
That name puts me in mind of things like "Stormfront" and "National Front", if not also things like 4chan / 8kun.
..but that might be the point?? If so, I can't tell if it's a joke or serious. Disturbing.
They are emphatically anti-nazi/anti-fash. If you check out their homepage, the footer has links to "Nazi Punks: Fuck Off" and Black Lives Matter. The favicon for the site is a LGBTQ+ pride flag.
Well that's good to know at least. Still not sure I would have opted for that name, but then, these are clearly the games of sharper minds than mine.
The devs are some really strange folks. They would enjoy your discomfiture.
But as OP said, they are really, emphatically, antifa-level before antifa was cool, no-nazi.
Thank you for posting release release posts
Hey, this isn't the Funhole!
I recommend reading their "Frequently Questioned Answers" document, aka Dash1.
https://fqa.9front.org/dash1.release.pdf
I've read a lot of tech docs through the years. Hands down, this is my favorite.
I do not recommend installing their OS, unless you have time to kill and curiosity.
9front is completely useless. It's a programmer's toy; a sandbox to develop some OS build ideas.
Something weird is going on with the code of conduct page. When I view it through my web reading app, it appears normal, but when I view it directly, I get this
9FRONT CODE OF CONDUCT
I STAND ALONE against your mad, deadly,
worldwide conspiratorial gangster computer-god communism
with wall-to-wall deadly gangster protection
life-long sworn conspirators, murder incorporated, organized crime
the police and judges
the deadly sneak parroting puppet gangsters
Using all the gangster deadly Frankenstein controls!
These hangman-rope sneak deadly gangsters, the judges and the police
Trick, trap, rob, wreck, butcher, and murder the people
To keep them terrorized in gangster frankenstein earphone radio
slavery for the communist gangster government
And con-artist parroting puppet gangster-playboy scum-on-top!
There is no escape from this worst gangster police state, using all of
the deadly gangster Frankenstein controls!
Spray me with poison nerve gas from automobile exhausts and even
lawnmowers!
Deadly assaults, even in my yard with knives, even bricks and stones
Even deadly touch tabin or electric shock flashlights
Even remote electronically controlled around-corners-projection of
deadly touch tarantula spiders
Worldwide living death (x4)
Inside
Inside-out
Worldwide living death
Your organization was lying to us!
Worldwide, systematic instant plastic surgery butchery murder, fake
aging so all people are dead or useless by age 70!
Done at night to you as a Frankenstein slave!
Parroting puppet Gangster slave
Now even you know I am a menace to your worldwide, mad, deadly
communist gangster computer-god!
Therefore, I must go to extermination before I am exterminated by this
gangster, computer-god concocted
And controlled worst mongrel organized crime murder incorporated
gangster communist government
I hand you the secrets to save the entire human race, and the entire
universe!
Is this one of those anti Ai things? I'm not a bot, I promise
It's the "lyrics" of a song by Venetian Snares, called "Americanized" -- which samples the rants of a (possibly insane) crackpot and conspiracy theorist, Francis E. Dec.
I presume it's some sort of inside joke.
