Finally! Few things have done more damage to open source than building it on 1970s era technology controlled by a gigantic asshole. Linux can't die fast enough.
Of course, that's wishful thinking on my part. Systemd is already well down this path. Linux is going to have to get REALLY bad before there's enough momentum to actually replace it with anything else.
More generally, there is a huge reckoning that needs to happen in the world of "computing freedom". We need a clean break from toxic people and their projects, and we need to stop tolerating the big tenters/fence sitters who maybe aren't directly toxic themselves but are wishy-washy on the toxic people and their projects.
For one thing, I don't want to hear a peep about an open source project unless you KNOW it's run by someone who isn't toxic. Because you've already checked for a code of conduct and the lack of a CLA, and you've perused through some of the author's interactions with others.
That we all run on Linux is yet more of the "living on capitalism's scraps" phenomenon I've talked about before. The vast majority of funding for Linux comes from enterprise users, its real customers.
