GPL is not a political manifesto. It is a license.

I think you are injecting a lot of politics into that entire mailing list because of the social warrior wording. But the man has the right to defend a decision he made... About his software... In a mailing list... About his software. And as a leader it is his goal to keep his team on the same page, so I thought it was really well written: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Is-Not-Anti-AI.

Why exactly does social warrior bother you so much? Is that seriously all it was to make all the accusations and insinuations in your blog post?

The moment you pick the term “social warrior”, you are already in politics...That isn’t neutrality.

You insinuate that he took bribes, or did I read that wrong to?

Maybe he’s being paid to be nice to a specific company. There is a lot of money in this world, and there isn’t a stack left that doesn’t want to influence Linux.

No?

I can’t prove it, and I hope I’m wrong.

Again, it seems to me like you are trying to discredit the founder of Linux and thus Linux as a whole. I think you are trying to sow discontent where there is none and using the word choice of "social warrior" to do so. I don't see any valuable insight in the entire blog post just a bunch of accusations/insinuations directed at a man I respect. Based on what exactly? Word choice and Marxism? What a fucking load. He does not deserve to have his code, contributions, and decades of work boiled down to 'a political tool'. The philosophical ideas to support your own conclusions are so stretched and twisted that it seems to me like you've invented a whole new way to be afraid of something.

    Wtf are you talking about? He made a comment about code he maintains... What the fuck does some establishment have over his software?

    What unexamined bigotries? If you really think that's a thing then show me it. Stop hallucinating and show me what you are talking about.

    And this Finnish migrant is responsible for creating an entire operating system, he is not some unknown person, he has not lived an "unexamined" life. He's been maintaining his project for decades.

    Good God, your such an edgy 17 year old. What political implications? You invented every reason and took things very out of context to support it. Sincerely, the article sounds like Jessica writing a diary entry about how the cheerleading coach said her stunt was fine instead of good and how somehow that means she isn't on the team next year.

    And how is the programming language you choose to use a political statement? Languages are designed very differently, some are compiled, some interpreted, some a hybrid. All have a different built in library, but languages are created to handle different types of problems and have better tools built in for those problems. Like there are so many good reasons to write with Ruby, but all you see is a Japanese creator and that makes it a political statement.
