Put bluntly, Canonical is trying to sell a solution to a problem it is creating

The real issue is, Torvalds who created Git as a solution to proprietary prison is entertaining Microsoft's own proprietary prison

We'll update this post or follow up if or when we get more information

And the site they were meant to manage as a successor/heir/continuity for opensource.org has been inactive for 6 months (it'll be 6 months tomorrow)

History is being distorted before our eyes. Even fake quotes are manufactured, attributed to real and still-living human beings.

They can probably squeeze about 400 people into this room if they try hard enough

Based on the online "rumour mill", Microsoft is already planning the next "megacull"; some workers hope that joining a union will protect them, as we showed some days ago, but in reality those Microsoft employees are a liability to such unions.

Doing what it can to keep it alive, Microsoft only loses more money (it now classifies it as "AI" to justify all the losses)

Despite the word "ubuntu" having a nice connotation (especially in Africa), the distro called "ubuntu" isn't a poster child for community but for a super-rich person commanding an army of unpaid volunteers

In a nutshell, they eventually figure out it's not 'free hosting' but a trap

If you're in the business of selling proprietary software such as Windows, all you can see in GNU/Linux is something to sabotage or hijack

Slop just doesn't work, but it is made to simply appear credible because of the grammar.

Imagine being a Web surfer trying to locate actual journalism about "linux" this week.

In such a world privacy abuses would be a lot rarer. Because if someone added some "telemetry" to the program, then someone else would remove that from the program, then redistribute the same. Guess which one users would rather download...

Slopwatch will be relatively long for the simple reason that we found a lot of new LLM slop about "Linux".

So a Microsoft employee now boasts that they're making Git - not GitHub - dependent on Rust, which Microsoft controls in GitHub. We already saw the trouble this causes in Linux and very much foresaw it (LibreOffice is also targeted).

So here too we can ask, who except Garrett and the Serial Strangler from Microsoft funds the abuse against us (abuse of process) and why? Garrett has already admitted out in the open that there is a third party.

Many inappropriate behaviours against us (for merely talking about UEFI 'secure boot') are being reported and relayed to the British authorities (including as recently as 5 hours ago) and we shall continue writing about the subject, no matter how many threats we receive. Or how many get sent to my wife, too. While she's on holiday and mourning death in her family.

Complex systems are bound to have holes and in Microsoft's case bug/back doors are the actual objective. Screwing around with GNU/Linux (while pretending to "love Linux") is another objective.

Today it is our last part before September 11. Some people won't immediately notice the effect because many GNU/Linux users don't boot every day or several times per day.
