fascism
n 1: a political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical
government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism)
Please point to where they are advocating for an authoritarian government.
Hint: It's not in the posts "As I remember London" or "Wolves, sheep, and gypsies".
That doesn't sound fair does it? That's exactly what people are doing by making these claims without critical thinking and having their minds already made up.
Every battery and piece of electronics on planet Earth is made from raw materials sourced from child and forced labor all over the world.
Nobody has any room to even attempt to argue that lamenting the loss of your cultural identity is somehow fascist.
Perhaps it should just be a wizard that asks one question at a time as necessary.
I still don't see a definition of fascist, only baseless accusations with the worst possible interpretations of their posts.
"How dare people I don't like give away software"
A political analysis of the founders and leadership behind every product you use must be an exhausting way to live your life.
Unless you propose to gather all those somewhere and "deal with them", the far-right people are still people. And if they’re not breaking the law, they should enjoy all possible social activities and the fruits of their labor etc. Basically whatever every living human would want and be deserving of.
Your asking is unreasonable. And we all know that if the far-right people are excluded, they’ll just make a "better" Linux community elsewhere. Then the whining will be about them not letting any of the extremists far-left fury Marxists on it ever again.
Also, this hyperbolic inflation of ad hominem "fascist" labeling just makes the word lose its meaning, and makes people lose their respect/belief in what you're saying. If you want to have a rational discussion using critical thinking, attack the argument not the person. Define words before using them. Tell us what "fascist" means to you, and why you think it applies in this context. Then listen to what people say and try to understand their perspective before writing them off as some kind of lost cause.
If instead you're not interested in a debate, you've already made up your mind and believe there can be no other valid perspectives, well, then maybe you weren't looking for truth OR intelligence in the first place. As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.
They're probably referring to this recent story: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/watch-florida-pulls-flock-cameras-201013692.html

But seriously.

the server does not see the device you use
Could be referring to the device name (usually just the client software name and OS) that is sent by clients to help the user identify which session is running where, like on the screen where you can force logout of other sessions you have open.
And you believe that?
I don't have to, I can verify with my own hardware that the data is only sent after enabling the option in question, and stops when disabled.
This is a known feature that is not hidden which is not automatically turned on by default.
You must set your TV to a different standby mode and enable LG voice control.
When you do this, it very plainly tells you that it can listen with the screen off so you can control the TV with voice.
Failure of User Awareness, not some nefarious spyware.
What is this even in reference to?
DHH's post "As I Remember London" which I inferred from this post referring to Omarchy as "fashtech" and based on other recent posts about the same thing.
fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners
I don't see any fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners in the referenced post. I don't want to explicitly link it in case that would anger the mods somehow, but it is easy to find.
You may criticize his nationalism, immigration views, or rhetoric as exclusionary or ethnonationalist. But IMO calling him fascist requires showing more than concern about demographic change.
Is he using “gypsy” to refer to illegal immigrants?
I don't know, you would have to ask him. I was just pointing out that it's not objectively obvious as to their intent and I don't think people are reacting fairly, rationally or even attempting to use critical thinking.
Unfortunately social media amplifies outrage because it generates clicks, and attempting to have calm and reasonable discussions is often simply downvoted and ignored.
In this way I find that tech-central sites with active commentary like reddit/lemmy/phoronix/etc. are quite often just as cancerous as Facebook and such. You would think a lot more technical people would be more rational but I haven't found that to be the case the majority of the time.
