Lunduke is losing it more and more, now claiming Torvalds is a "woke communist", when Torvalds is accepting of businesses around Linux. but obviously he's a "communist" since Torvalds is okay with abortion, transgenders and gays. that's just being a decent human

@kaia wasn't that just misquoting the infamous fedi post?

@snacks what's the famous fedi post?

@kaia torvalds getting mad about some contrarian calling everything woke and communist (not surprising luke didn't get it)

@kaia i think you need to renew your catechism studies

@lain captain, there's a big difference of what I do in my personal life vs. what others do and whether I judge them for it (Mt 7:1)

@snacks I'm unsure how much Lunduke is play-acting to place himself in a corner that is financially more profitable

@kaia@brotka.st @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz
Some are still buying the culture war bullshit and he keeps capitalising on that.
But the interest is certainly dwindling, soon talking more about same things won't be enough and he'd better devise a plan to look for other sources are drama. But humans are lazy creatures, few are capable of learning new tricks, so old ones stop being an act and become part of their persona.

@lanodan @kaia @snacks im going back to windows /s

@kaia It’s just classic partisanism. It’s better to not pay any kind of attention to this type of disingenuous stuff that Lunduke makes.

Lunduke has one so far off the deep-end that even the right wing homophobe and creator of “open source” Eric S. Raymond hates Lunduke now.

@kaia @snacks he's always been like that (on top of being easy to troll)

@takao @kaia @snacks why don't we start praying for the souls of the poor linux atheists and their gaylord leader mister torvalds?

@kaia Not the first time he does this. But in a sense the fact that Torvalds doesn't want to migrate the kernel's license to GPLv3 does make him that, as one of the main issue of the GPLv2 is the tivo/DRM loophole, and you know, if you can forbid people from doing anything, then it's not far from anything authoritarian derivatives that happened in communism or any other dogma that went too far.

@mangeurdenuage @kaia There is no digital handcuffing loophole in the GPLv2; "For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."

Meanwhile, the GPLv3 actually permits digital handcuffs for commercial-only hardware, as for some reason businesses wanted that.

Businesses have just realized that they can easily get away with infringing copyright of GPLv2 software - as people never read the GPLv2 and GPLv2 projects tend to never enforce the license - but realize that GPLv3+ projects won't hesitate to sue if needed.


It would be totally fine if Linux's license remained GPLv2, provided the license was GPLv2-or-later - but Linus intentionally has made the license GPLv2-only, to stop people from enjoying freedom.


Linus is quite fond of proprietary software, including non-commercial licenses, which is pretty communist.
