Give an Internet Freedom Disk
An anonymous reader, perhaps the blogger himself, writes to tell us about a new blog aimed at getting non-techies excited over the idea of running from a Live CD. The blogger doesn't call it that, preferring instead "Internet Freedom Disk"; Linux is never mentioned. The submitter adds: "This is just a great gift to drop on your non-geek friends and potentially wake up a sleeping giant." Cheap, last-minute, and you can make them yourself. The blogger isn't selling anything; he provides links to Ubuntu and Knoppix Live CDs. Or pick your favorite.
And I'm fucking excited!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!
I mean I'm surfin and not getting spyware I'm not even broadcasting an IP anymore! I used to hate all you Linux people, I thought you were all big fags, but now I'm totally hip!!!1!
You joke but this is exactly what they're going for. Don't mention Linux (it's for geeks, after all), and stick the word 'Freedom' in there to give it some good old AMERICAN BACKBONE and you've got a winner!
Just don't acknowledge the fact that:
a) No other platform limits your INTERNET FREEDOM! either, or
b) It'll take you hours to learn how to use the thing because you're not familiar with Linux.
If someone gave me an Internet Freedom Disk, I would turn it into an Internet Freedom Shuriken(tm) and go to town...
