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.

Maxim Dounin announces the freenginx project.

As such, starting from today, I will no longer participate in nginx development as run by F5. Instead, I’m starting an alternative project, which is going to be run by developers, and not corporate entities:

Yes it is, that's the point

Look at the corporate exploitation of free software and see that Stallman was right

Chimera Linux is the point.

But it is project's philosophy, both BSD and GNU project will flame us if you teach them about licensing things

Disaster comes from our mouth

Lol some shitty distro used by almost nobody, and serves no interest other than corpo lover's interests

About Chimera Linux is shitty, no, it is accessible for script kiddies since it use GNOME. It might gain popularity... some day... but I don't think the day is too far

And enthusiasts will love it. But you hate it because you like to war on what license to use than to patch a bunch of software to make it work for musl (and perhaps, clang). You can only see they are "corpo lovers" but not realize that they are different from most linux by popularizing softwares that are unpopular if they are intended to be "superior".

I hope you can get on realistic communism and understand that communism (socialism is much near) with infinite high tech is built on capitalism, and any communism that is not built on capitalism can only exist when people do not have enough food and aren't developed. When you haven't reach high capitalism (like Viet Nam) corpo + single party government that protect the rights of workers is the only way to do.

Lenin wrote: "The age of referencing books to discuss about socialist revolutionary credo has forever passed. I deeply believe that that era is over to never return. Today, we can only base our debates on socialism on the basis of experience." (perhaps poorly translated.)
