David doesn’t want anything to do with the Linux Foundation anymore because they used AI generated art for an ad/promotion thing.
It had a blue cup with a tux on it in it and a big tux with a 35years head, which I put on Pepper’s cup. It also had a bunch of hallucinations in it

I kinda agree with him as an artist. It makes me sad to see people generate art with ai when they could've made a noobie drawing that will still be far much better than the ai one. Ai art can be so weird as well.

Case in point: The online game "Kingdom of Loathing." I played that in like 2006 and the little martini stick dude still stands out.

Linux the kernel =/= Linux Foundation. The LF is a very corporate organization with millions of donation money from industry sponsors.

And in fact, I frequently have disagreed with the Linux foundation and think it shouldn't carry the name Linux, as most of their projects aren't particularly related to Linux work.
It's been a way for corporations to attach the Linux marketing value to their pet projects for a long time.

I’d say that’s pretty normal for foundations. The Eclipse Foundation shoulders a marketplace for VSCode/VSCodium and adopted some OS projects. Apache foundation has adopted tons of different projects from IDEs over office software to code forges,

After all these decades.
The year of the gnu hurd.
provectus 4 points 2 days ago
As the creator of the GNU Hurd community, I approve. Prepare everyone's old thinkpads or old dell laptops, and prepare some Ethernet cables.

$YEAR is the year of the BSD desktop

Year of the Linux desktop when the years of neglecting security comes to bite them
halezinflames -26 points 2 days ago
MacOS, iOS, GrapheneOS (and even then, Graphene doesn't believe themselves to be doing enough due to the fundamental limitations in AOSP)
There is one distro trying, and even they make it clear that they're bound by the limitations of the Linux desktop's security model at the moment (SecureBlue).
It is also technically possible to harden Windows to become nearly bulletproof but that usually requires third party software like ThreatLocker.

MacOS, iOS
Do you have a source for that beyond shills and their marketing?
There most definitively are vulnerabilities and backdoors in these OSes. Whether or not we hear of them doesn't prove otherwise
halezinflames -10 points 2 days ago
My source is primarily the GrapheneOS team's praises for how Apple handles iOS, particularly in Lockdown Mode. There was also a recent situation where they warned their users of "mercenary spyware" attacks.
It's also a position that many in the SecureBlue community would agree with, which is where I've learned the majority of my recent security stuff from.

A true turfblaster found in our midst.

What is a turfblaster? I'm confused but maybe someone can explain that to me
