We have seen various Linux distros that cater to religious inclinations (Christianity, Islam, Satanism, Scientism), but this is the first I have heard of a distro for white supremacists.

Apartheid Linux 14 codenamed ?Houston Stewart Chamberlain? [after an obscure nineteenth-century "racialist writer"] is now available for download.

AL14 differs from most distributions of GNU/linux out there. Like Arch and Gentoo it does not have fixed releases, but can be continually upgraded. And unlike Arch or Gentoo, AL14 can be run by users with little or no prior experience with GNU/Linux.

It can be booted from a CD and tested without touching your hard drive.

AL14 is optimized to run on as much hardware as possible. It features the LXDE desktop environment and the Faenza icon theme.

Rightfully banned on LinuxTracker this shocking distro contains images such as this:

White Supremacists.... is there no end to the bigotry of some people? :no:

I removed the links to this distro for the same reason that the distro is not promoted by LinuxTracker. These guys have the right to build a distro like this, but we don't have to give them a platform here....

I also think that logo is funny because I always called those paper picnic plates with the 3 sections on them "apartheid plates" since they keep your food from spilling over into the other sections. Their logo makes me think of those plates. Picnic Linux.

Okay, don't these idiots know that Linux, as well as a lot of the applications in this distro, are also being programmed by people who are not white!

and with this thread we give them a platform. Everything is available: Screenshot, logo and link for download.

I wasn't trying to give them a platform. I was trying to expose them. I can't believe anyone here would seriously want to use this... at least I hope not!

(Maybe I shouldn't have included all the links. But I used to be a news reporter for Neowin and we were always made to cite our sources properly.)

Some people have already pointed out the irony of the whole thing. The "white power" racist exclusion is contrary to the freedom of GNU software. I don't think the people who made that distro see the irony....

I would not blame you. But I think not for every things we should be so precise with sources with links.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
