Welp, I guess I'll be saying "rule" for the rest of my life now rule.

I do, not always in detail if they're too long - but this one isn't, and the sidebar here actually doesn't say anything about incorporating the word "Rule" in your post title.

The stickied Rules post DOES though, and I just saw that.

Oh - this isn't a bad community, that isn't what I meant by my last sentence - this is just a place for memes and jokes more than serious discussion, hence my expectation of a serious discussion was subverted. But programmer humor is still a great place.

A "grodge" sounds like some sort of distant cousin of the grue. Maybe they're some sort of gremlins, and these people are gremlin breeders who are selling them?

If I recall correctly, there was a reported incident of him taking an employee's personal iphone during a meeting and smashing it. While it's understandable that a CEO might be upset that an employee is using the competition's products, that is also a completely inappropriate response and destruction of property. Guy's been an obnoxious asshole all his life, and has only been surrounded by people who had reason not to upset him - his ego has got to be through the roof.

Actually that last sentence is true of pretty much every rich shitbag out there.

Fun fact, Linus has said that he has named both of the major pieces of software he has authored after himself - Linux and Git.

Git is a somewhat old British slang insult for someone stupid/childish.

So GitHub is then .. a hub of gits.

A lot of people associated with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) have major objections to GitHub. Here's one summary: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/

But the TLDR; version is roughly:

  • Your source hosted on GitHub is being used to train AI, and you are possibly giving up rights to algorithms you may have written (IANAL, and AI training is a fuzzy topic at the moment)
  • GitHub itself is proprietary, closed-source software, while they claim to be pro-FOSS. Aside from not being in the spirit of things, closed-source means you also don't know what happens with your code/data once up upload it.
  • Microsoft has a history of being anti-FOSS, while some people will say it's been changing, I think many are still rightfully concerned what their future decisions regarding GitHub might be, especially if they are a near-monopoly.

Alternative do exist, and some like codeberg.org are specifically open sourced, and pro-open source, so many people are pushing to move hosting away from GitHub and onto other options.

I send you an actual news article, and all you can do is reply with a strawman cartoon, claiming it's democrats?

You want to cite actual democratic politicians calling for more war or do you just want to live in your fantasy world?
