Apparently, Linus Torvalds is a globohomo now.

@ryo Now? Has been for a long time, that just makes it official. He pushed the shots too, like Richard Stallman. Hell, even from the fact that he's rich, that can be assumed. If someone makes over a million a year, their chance of being a decent person drops down to almost zero, if not actually zero. Hell, it's almost zero even making over 100k.
By the way, if Stallman saw this, he would seethe about how he's not the one there and how it doesn't say GNU/Linux. Those would be his only problems with it.

@TerminalAutism @ryo I wanted to see what Stallman thinks of the WEF and I found out that he has cited the WEF on his site before, namely how COVID has "undermined the fight against global heating".

@xianc78 @TerminalAutism When it comes to politics, Stallman-san is really an idiot.
That, the whole SoystemD situation, the bloatening of the kernel, the Rustification of everything (Tor, Linux kernel, and now even the Mesa drivers), among others is exactly what makes me consider moving away from Linux and going with BSD instead.
Though I do consider Linux distro's without SoystemD to be still OK for not having the Red Hat cancer in them, but still suffer from all the other problems.
So they basically fixed 1 problem, but still didn't consider fixing the other problems yet.
Only Hyperbola (both the GNU/Linux-libre and BSD versions) seems to be fixing lots of those problems, but again you'll probably need to have a fully libre hardware with 0 blobs in order to be able to use it.

@ryo @xianc78 Honestly, I just don't trust Linux in general at all anymore. It glows brighter than 1000 suns. Which is a shame, because it does a few things that the BSDs do not. A package manager like Guix, that doesn't exist on the BSD world and I do think it's a very good concept. I have also been using (((AAAAAAAAAAPP)))images (I hate that "word" so much, I want to resurrect Steve Jobs so I can kill him) to mitigate updates fucking shit up, so those are nice to have too.
But still, the things that are nice with it don't outweigh the gigantic distrust that I have for it. I only still have it because my drives are formatted to Ext4 and Btrfs, and I would like to get a file server before moving them to ZFS.

@TerminalAutism @ryo At least Linux, unlike Windows or MacOS, doesn't require you to link your computer to a MSN or iCloud account. With that, I'd say that Linux is in the same level as Windows 7 (and before) in terms of respecting users maybe even better depending on the distro.
