i just started learning rust and intend to get my feet wet w lemmy, so i'm becoming inclined to believe in its virtues so i can understand why someone would prefer it over the alternative.

i've also been painfully duped by google's "don't be evil" motto and it's segued me into learning about the intrinsic nature of corporations that make them capitalize on any advantage they have at their disposal if it results in a profit -- be it a well intentioned & needful technology improvement or a fascist leader w expectations as an audience.

if history repeats itself -- and i'm inclined to agree that it usually does -- seager will not have a say if they end up making an mit licensed linux.

i'm also inclined to look for silver linings in dark clouds and ubuntu represents a majority of my professional life as a software engineer, so i'm know i'll atleast like the new canonical Linux^TM^ if it comes into being. lol
