First GitHub, now Linus: http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2018/09...ned-linux/ (Just waiting for a moderator to identify "offensive content" in the link, and memory-hole it. Yeah, truth hurts.) There is discussion aplenty on the chans, for those who care.
Terry Davis Command Line video cracks me up.

At this point in time, everyone's expendable. That being said, linus' kernel isn't the only one; there are plenty more around! Linux "as we know it" is far from meeting its end. Even if big companies get their hands on and actually size some part of the giant and vast-infinite open source universe...well, that's basically it; it's huge for them to take away from us!
 Fear not my fellow linuxers and may the kernel be with you! lol
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us

I have seen arguments for using the BSD kernel as a base for a distro as in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_why.

There were some changes with the forum rules since my last visit too.
After reading them, got an impression that even jokes about Microsoft are not welcome. Now I can't use the words like [removed] or maybe even [removed], like back then... ;D

We can't use [banana] or [porcupine] anymore? Darn!
 Happy holidays!

I didn't think there was that many timezones, the Earth got bigger this year, it will have to take a new year's resolution and shed a few pounds! Or... I'm guessing, Merry Orthodox Christmas, a little early! Cheers, but drink responsibly people, that includes you granpa! (Granpa : Aww man!)

I begin to be a trifle doubtful now whenever I recommend Linux to friends and relatives.
And old blog posts like the one that follows do not help to assuage my concern: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2014/02/...your-life/ Has there been any discussion here in the forum about IgnorantGuru's post that I have missed? Perhaps the future of Linux is to become the 'Lesser Of Three Evils'. Happy New Year...

The Linux kernel, especially the proprietary blobs that are part of it, is a special story ... that part is under the full control of powerful corporations (M$, IBM, Intel, etc.) so that every story about a particular "security" of linux is naive and irrelevant .
Users should decide what is good for them, and the linux kernel is in any case less and less "good", except for the companies that finance and participate in its development.

Things certainly seem following this projection: http://editions-hache.com/essais/pdf/kaczynski2.pdf As for [removed], it has become so passé! Full obliteration is now in vogue.
