From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lets combine that with the contributing.md here as a response to "Your docs could be written better, I can do that", and how he stands with DHH (note Lunduke there btw), which was a response to DHH+Ruby....
Well it kind of paints a picture. A very specific one, imo.
Lunduke, the video of the post, is also a pretty notably tech right wing, which is why I mention to note that earlier.
I will say, I think Kling hides it better than DHH, same with Vaxry, but... yeah its pretty small and specific circles that seem to gather.
Yucky 🤮
Yeah.
It can get real ugly in tech sometimes, and I really hate seeing it.
For a long time I considered tech the more inviting and accepting bunch, but that has definitely changed over time. There's some real gross stuff out there.
