Torvalds Still Calls the "Hey Hi" (AI) Bluff, Some People Are Upset
Half a year ago: Linus Torvalds on 'Hilarious' AI Hype: "I Hate the Hype" and "I Don't Want to be Part of the Hype", "You Need to Be a Bit Cynical About This Whole Hype Cycle" So Torvalds got asked about "hey hi" again (of course, hard to escape mindless hype and cargo cults that game the stock market). Today it's Linux's birthday, so what better time to examine what he said?
They Are Turning the Web Into an 'App Store' (Censorship), Gemini Rejects This Agenda
They do the same to operating systems with UEFI 'secure boot' - an assault on everybody's freedom

Estimated or Educated Guess at Number of Desktops and Laptops With GNU/Linux: 112,500,000
Let's assume that in the past 5 years "over 2 billion" became 2.5 billion. Servers are far fewer than desktops and laptops anyway. What is 4.5% of 2.5 billion? It is about 112,500,000 (112.5 million).
Slashdot is Acting as a Spamming Service for Microsoft, Apparently in Service of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (E.E.E.)

Libre-SOC Insiders Explain How Libre-SOC and Funding for Libre-SOC (From NLNet) Got 'Hijacked' or Seized
It seems like a case of breaking down a person completely, then taking away his life's project (that he had already started when he was my colleague 13 years ago) and even the funding for the project.
For the First Time Since May Linux.com (Linux Foundation) Published Something. It's All Spam.

Guardianship of the Licence is Not Enough (the Case of Systemd and Microsoft)
THE Linux Foundation almost never chooses the GPL (it didn't choose it for Linux or Git) and it's hardly surprising given the true controllers of this so-called 'charitable' (not!) foundation. Bruce Perens said that “Linux Foundation is an infringer's club.” They dislike the GPL, but sometimes they merely inherit it.
