I am genuinely unsure if you're so out of touch that you think the average lemmy user doesn't deserve to have opinions that deviate from your own (otherwise they're uneducated, uncultured swine to you, apparently), or you're so high on your ego, a hit stronger than a laced joint, that your only way to respond is to elevate your podium and attempt to lower your opposition's.
Hello from the second day by the way. Coffee was delicious.
Copilot One:Series AI 360 Experience
Took you off the blocklist 'cause you're a great source of entertainment. Really elevates my day after my morning coffee.
I lurk a lot, and I tend to remember names in active communities after a few days. There's some amazing people in our communities, who contribute in good faith and with rational citations.
And then there's you. Refusing to perform a simple trip to Wikipedia to find the proper evidence in writing that validated the "Typical Linux success story" to begin with.
Let me save you the trip by the way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel (Wikipedia article)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 (Direct link to the GPL 2.0 license, since you likely don't have the initiative to scroll 10% down the page)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus%27s_law (Linus's law Wikipedia article, take the time to read and download The Cathedral and The Bazaar so you can read arguments for the current model that aren't fresh from your ass)
Oh and Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas called, he wants his misrepresentation of dialectics and philosophy back, you ignoramus prick.
Oh. It's you again. Good to see your shallow takes haven't changed.
Can't you have the foresight to actually read and research why things like the FOSS projects we rely on are validated? Linux is owned by no one, and is used by everyone who wants to. Plain and simple. More adoption and more contributors means a better experience for the end user and the developer.
Corporate users are a feature, not a bug, and if anything, their adoption does more to cement the success of the project more than anything else. Plus, the Linux kernel can be wrapped into many different distros designed for transparency, why not pick your favorite one, instead of the "corporate standard"?
No. It's the best fork that is not supposed to be within reach for us "unworthy individual users".
(Although since massgrave allows you to activate it perpetually it doesn't really matter how many steps they throw for the "right way" XD)
