🤖🚫 Flathub interzice aplicațiile de tip „AI Slop”: O decizie radicală împotriva conținutului de slabă calitate generat automat

Flathub, cel mai mare magazin de aplicații pentru ecosistemul Linux bazat pe pachete Flatpak, a adoptat o politică extrem de dură și inovatoare: interzicerea totală a aplicațiilor catalogate drept „AI Slop” (conținut de calitate slabă generat în masă prin inteligență artificială).

Decizia vine în urma unei explozii de aplicații apărute pe platformă care nu aduc nicio valoare reală utilizatorilor, fiind de fapt simple „ambalaje” wrapper în jurul unor API-uri de generare de text sau imagini, create doar pentru a genera profit din reclame sau donații.

Iată principalele detalii din spatele acestei măsuri și modul în care datele au influențat decizia celor de la Flathub:

🔹 Ce reprezintă fenomenul „AI Slop”?
Termenul de „slop” (lături/resturi de mâncare) a devenit un standard în industrie pentru a descrie avalanșa de conținut web nereglementat, de calitate extrem de slabă, creat artificial. Pe Flathub, acest fenomen s-a tradus prin sute de aplicații copy-paste: de la generatoare banale de rețete sau poezii, până la instrumente care promit să îți rezolve temele sau să îți editeze codul, dar care în realitate livrează rezultate halucinante sau eronate.

🔹 Datele din spate: De ce a intervenit Flathub?
Conform analizelor de date efectuate de administratorii platformei, proliferarea acestor aplicații a început să afecteze grav experiența utilizatorilor (UX):

Zgomot în căutări: Utilizatorii care căutau un editor de text legitim sau un instrument de productivitate erau inundați de zeci de clone „AI-powered” care promiteau marea cu sarea, dar nu funcționau corect.

Riscuri de securitate și amprentă de carbon: Multe dintre aceste aplicații rulau scripturi obscure în fundal pentru a colecta telemetrie sau date de utilizare, irosind totodată resursele de calcul ale serverelor Flathub pentru compilarea și găzduirea unor pachete inutile.

🔹 Noile reguli de moderare: Ce este interzis?
Flathub nu interzice software-ul care folosește inteligența artificială într-un mod legitim și util (cum ar fi un editor foto care are o funcție de eliminare a zgomotului bazată pe rețele neuronale). În schimb, regulamentul blochează:

Aplicațiile a căror funcție unică este de a fi o interfață pentru un LLM (Large Language Model) terț, fără a aduce modificări sau optimizări majore.

Software-ul generat automat de AI și urcat pe magazin fără a trece printr-un proces riguros de QA (Quality Assurance) uman.

Instrumentele care folosesc elemente de branding înșelătoare pentru a mima aplicații oficiale OpenAI, Anthropic sau Google Gemini.

Prin această măsură, Flathub devine unul dintre primele magazine majore de aplicații din lumea open-source care pune piciorul în prag împotriva degradării calității software-ului din cauza hype-ului AI, protejându-și utilizatorii și menținând standardele ridicate cu care comunitatea Linux este obișnuită.

🦁🔒 FreeBSD a atins un reper istoric: Sistemul de bază este acum 100% liber de software licențiat sub GPL

Fundația FreeBSD și comunitatea de dezvoltatori din spatele acestui legendar sistem de operare de tip Unix au anunțat finalizarea unui efort monumental care a durat mai bine de două decenii: sistemul de bază al FreeBSD este acum complet lipsit de software licențiat sub GPL (General Public License).

Această realizare reprezintă o victorie ideologică și juridică majoră pentru proiect, îndeplinind un obiectiv strategic pe termen lung: oferirea unui sistem de operare de înaltă performanță protejat exclusiv de licențe permisive, de tip BSD sau similare.

Iată de ce această schimbare este crucială pentru ecosistemul tech și ce implică ea:

🔹 De ce a vrut FreeBSD să elimine GPL?
Spre deosebire de Linux, care folosește licența GPL (ce obligă companiile să distribuie public modificările aduse codului sursă — conceptul de copyleft), FreeBSD folosește licența BSD. Aceasta este mult mai permisivă, permițând oricui (inclusiv marilor corporații) să preia codul, să îl modifice și să îl integreze în produse comerciale închise, fără obligația de a face publice modificările.

Prezența unor instrumente vechi cu licență GPL în sistemul de bază crea o zonă gri din punct de vedere juridic pentru companii precum Apple (care folosește bucăți din BSD în macOS/iOS), Sony (pentru sistemul de operare al consolelor PlayStation) sau Netflix (pentru infrastructura de streaming).

🔹 Cum s-a realizat această tranziție istorică?
Pentru a curăța complet sistemul de bază de GPL, comunitatea a trebuit să înlocuiască manual sau să rescrie de la zero utilitare fundamentale care făceau parte din ecosistemul GNU:

Înlocuirea compilatorului (GCC -> LLVM/Clang): Pasul cel mai greu a fost eliminarea compilatorului GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). FreeBSD a trecut complet la LLVM/Clang ca mediu de compilare implicit, o tehnologie modernă cu licență permisivă (Apache 2.0 / BSD).

Rescrierea utilitarelor de sistem: Toate instrumentele mici de sistem, bibliotecile (cum ar fi libdialog) și utilitarele de diagnosticare care încă rulau pe versiuni vechi de cod GNU (menținute la versiuni arhaice precum GPLv2 pentru a evita restricțiile stricte din GPLv3) au fost înlocuite cu alternative moderne scrise sub licență BSD sau licențe similare de tip MIT.

🔹 Ce înseamnă asta pentru utilizatori și dezvoltatori?
Pentru utilizatorii obișnuiți: Din punct de vedere al utilizării zilnice, experiența rămâne neschimbată sau chiar îmbunătățită, deoarece noile instrumente sunt mai moderne, mai rapide și adaptate arhitecturilor hardware actuale.

Pentru companii și industrie: Acesta este cel mai mare avantaj. Companiile pot prelua acum imaginea de bază a FreeBSD și o pot modifica pentru routere, servere sau dispozitive hardware proprietare, având garanția juridică absolută că nu încalcă nicio clauză de tip copyleft.

Programele GPL pot fi instalate în continuare: Este important de menționat că această eliminare este valabilă doar pentru sistemul de bază (base system). Utilizatorii pot instala în continuare fără probleme orice aplicație licențiată GPL (cum ar fi GCC, Bash sau utilitare GNU) prin intermediul sistemului de pachete (pkg) sau al colecției de porturi (ports).

Prin acest pas, FreeBSD își consolidează identitatea unică în lumea open-source, oferind o alternativă pur permisivă și ultra-stabilă la ecosistemul Linux.

🎨🐧 KDE Plasma 6.8 a fost lansat: Adaugă umbre pe server (server-side shadows) pentru aplicațiile fără decorațiuni

Ecosistemul KDE Plasma continuă să își rafineze experiența vizuală și consistența sub protocolul Wayland. În noua versiune majoră KDE Plasma 6.8, dezvoltatorii au implementat o funcționalitate extrem de solicitată de către designeri și utilizatori deopotrivă: suportul pentru umbre generate pe server (server-side shadows) pentru aplicațiile fără decorațiuni de fereastră (undecorated apps).

Această actualizare rezolvă o problemă vizuală istorică legată de consistența interfețelor grafice moderne pe Linux.

Iată detaliile acestei noutăți și celelalte îmbunătățiri majore:

🔹 Umbre perfecte pentru aplicațiile fără margini
Multe aplicații moderne (cum ar fi unele jocuri, playere video în mod minimalist, terminale personalizate sau aplicații electron care folosesc ferestre personalizate) aleg să își ascundă decorațiunile standard ale ferestrei (bara de titlu, butoanele de închidere/minimizare).

Problema din trecut: Sub Wayland, când o aplicație dezactiva decorațiunile managerului de ferestre KWin, aceasta își pierdea adesea și umbra fină de fundal, lăsând marginile ferestrei să se confunde direct cu tapetul sau cu alte aplicații din spate.

Soluția din Plasma 6.8: Managerul de ferestre KWin este acum capabil să aplice umbre elegante direct de pe server (server-side rendering) chiar și peste aceste ferestre fără decorațiuni. Rezultatul este o interfață mult mai curată, cu un efect de profunzime tridimensională aplicat uniform pe întregul desktop.

🔹 Consistență vizuală îmbunătățită
Prin această mișcare, Plasma elimină discrepanțele vizuale dintre aplicațiile native Qt (care folosesc decorațiunile KWin) și aplicațiile GTK sau Electron care își gestionează singure marginile (client-side decorations). Acum, indiferent de toolkit-ul în care este scrisă o aplicație, comportamentul umbrelor pe ecran rămâne complet unitar.

🔹 Optimizări pentru performanța KWin
Deși adăugarea de efecte vizuale poate ridica semne de întrebare privind resursele, implementarea din Plasma 6.8 este extrem de bine optimizată:

Randarea umbrelor se face nativ prin GPU utilizând compozitorul Wayland, asigurând un consum neglijabil de energie și menținând fluiditatea animațiilor la rate de reîmprospătare ridicate (120Hz, 144Hz+).

KDE Plasma 6.8 demonstrează încă o dată atenția obsesivă a comunității pentru detalii, transformând desktop-ul Linux într-un mediu nu doar extrem de puternic și personalizabil, ci și incredibil de finisat din punct de vedere estetic.

🤖💻 Frame: Un nou server grafic X11 pentru Linux scris în întregime în Assembly

Într-o epocă în care industria Linux migrează masiv către Wayland și dezvoltă software complex în limbaje moderne, un proiect incredibil vine să zguduie status quo-ul prin tehnica pură: Frame. Acesta este un server grafic compatibil X11, scris de la zero în întregime în Assembly (ASM).

Proiectul reprezintă un tur de forță ingineresc, demonstrând ce se poate obține atunci când elimini complet straturile intermediare de cod, compilatoarele greoaie și dependințele masive, vorbind direct pe limba procesorului.

Iată caracteristicile uluitoare ale acestui proiect minimalist:

🔹 Performanță brută și latență zero
Deoarece codul este scris direct în Assembly, Frame ocolește toate optimizările (sau limitările) pe care un compilator de C sau C++ le-ar impune.

Latență minimă: Timpul de răspuns între input-ul utilizatorului (mouse/tastatură) și randarea pe ecran este redus la minimul absolut permis de hardware.

Fără supraîncărcare (Zero Overhead): Serverul nu încarcă biblioteci externe gigantice, scăzând drastic numărul de instrucțiuni executate de procesor pentru fiecare cadru (frame) randat.

🔹 Dimensiune microscopică a binarului
Spre deosebire de serverul clasic Xorg, care are nevoie de zeci sau sute de megabiți de biblioteci și dependențe pentru a funcționa, binarul executabil al Frame ocupă doar câțiva kilobiți. Întregul server grafic poate fi stocat pe o veche dischetă, fiind probabil cel mai mic server de afișare funcțional creat vreodată pentru Linux.

🔹 Compatibilitate cu protocolul X11
În ciuda naturii sale experimentale și a limbajului de nivel jos în care este scris, Frame implementează elementele de bază ale protocolului X11. Acest lucru înseamnă că poate, teoretic, să comunice cu clienți X standard, permițând rularea aplicațiilor grafice de bază din ecosistemul Linux direct pe această fundație ultra-ușoară.

🔹 Eficiență extremă a resurselor
Consumul de memorie RAM al serverului se măsoară în câțiva megabiți (sau chiar mai puțin în modul idle), făcându-l o opțiune fascinantă pentru:

Sisteme integrate (Embedded): Dispozitive cu resurse hardware extrem de limitate, unde fiecare octet de RAM contează.

Sisteme de restaurare și recuperare: Medii de boot minimale care au nevoie de o interfață grafică rapidă, fără a încărca RAM-disk-ul.

Frame este un proiect manifest dedicat programării retro-futuriste, o dovadă vie că optimizarea extremă nu a murit și că bătrânul protocol X11 poate fi reinventat în cel mai pur mod cu putință.

🎮🐧 DXVK 3.0.2 a fost lansat: Aduce optimizări majore și corecții dedicate pentru jocuri de top

Pasionații de gaming pe Linux prin intermediul Wine sau Proton au motive de bucurie. DXVK, stratul de translatare bazat sursă deschisă care convertește apelurile grafice DirectX 9, 10 și 11 în instrucțiuni Vulkan, a primit o nouă actualizare de mentenanță: versiunea DXVK 3.0.2.

Această lansare se concentrează pe rezolvarea unor probleme specifice de randare, eliminarea artefactelor vizuale și îmbunătățirea stabilității într-o serie de titluri populare.

Iată principalele corecții și optimizări introduse în DXVK 3.0.2:

🔹 Corecții dedicate pentru jocuri (Game-Specific Fixes)
Dezvoltatorii au lucrat la remedierea unor bug-uri specifice care afectau experiența de joc în titluri cunoscute:

Jocuri afectate de probleme de memorie sau randare: S-au rezolvat diverse prăbușiri (crashes) și probleme legate de alocarea defectuoasă a memoriei video în titlurile care folosesc intens DirectX 11.

Remedieri pentru randarea umbrelor și texturilor: Anumite jocuri care prezentau artefacte vizuale, pâlpâieli ale texturilor sau umbre randate incorect sub Vulkan rulează acum impecabil.

🔹 Îmbunătățiri ale performanței și gestionării resurselor
Optimizări pentru memoria cache a shaderelor: DXVK 3.0.2 îmbunătățește modul în care shaderul compilează în fundal, reducând apariția micro-întreruperilor (stuttering) în timpul primelor minute de joc.

Gestionare mai eficientă a resurselor Vulkan: Stratul de translatare comunică acum mai curat cu driverele grafice moderne (Mesa/RADV pentru AMD și driverele proprietare NVIDIA), oferind un consum ușor redus de resurse de procesare în scenariile de stres hardware.

🔹 Corecții generale pentru DirectX 9 și 11
Au fost remediate câteva probleme de regresie introduse în versiunile anterioare din seria 3.0, îmbunătățind compatibilitatea cu jocurile mai vechi bazate pe DX9.

S-a optimizat comportamentul în modul ecran complet (fullscreen) și la comutarea rapidă a ferestrelor (Alt+Tab), prevenind blocarea jocurilor în modurile de afișare hibride.

Această actualizare consolidează DXVK ca fiind pilonul central al gaming-ului pe Linux, asigurându-se că titlurile din colecțiile de pe Steam sau GOG rulează la un nivel de performanță și stabilitate extrem de apropiat (sau uneori chiar superior) celui de pe Windows.

I wish there was a crowdfunding campaign somewhere to get a reasonably modern phone up and running reliably with real Linux.

I'm talking something with PostmarketOS / Mobian + Phosh/Plasma Mobile / Gnome Mobile and the basics made reliable:
* wifi
* mobile data
* calls
* suspend/wake
* camera

Maybe make Waydroid integration a stretch goal, but not a core requirement.

I would gladly throw a bunch of money at something with the promise to get the basics to work reliably.

Maybe the issue isn't money, but it sure seems like pooling funding for some of the highly talented people working in the space couldn't hurt.

Anyone know of anything like this?

I don’t like playing the futurologist, but after seeing AI companies warn EU institutions about the supposed risks of open-weight models, I suspect some are lobbying to regain control over genuine open source and open-weight AI.

Don’t fall into the trap: the greater danger lies in opaque, proprietary models, not open-source ones.

RT @IntCyberDigest: ‼️ Linus Torvalds sagte dieser Woche an Linux-Kernel-Entwickler, dass Linux nicht zu den anti-AI-Projekten gehört und dass KI jetzt ein eindeutig nützliches Werkzeug ist. Er sagt, die Nützlichkeit von KI war vor einem Jahr noch umstritten, aber nicht mehr, und dass die Skeptiker die Tools einfach nicht genutzt haben. Niemand wird gezwungen, KI zu nutzen, aber er wird jeden ignorieren, der versucht, andere von der Nutzung abzuhalten. Jeder, der ein anti-AI-Projekt will, sagt er, kann den Code forken oder gehen. Im Jahr 2024 hatte Torvalds KI als größtenteils Marketing abgetan. Bis Januar dieses Jahres lieferte er KI-generierten Python-Code in seinem eigenen Hobby-Repo aus, und der Kernel akzeptiert nun KI-geschriebenen Code unter Offenlegungsregeln.

🔍📂 FSearch revine în forță după o pauză de trei ani: Versiunea 0.3 aduce o viteză uluitoare și îmbunătățiri majore

Pentru utilizatorii de Linux care duc dorul legendarului utilitar Everything Search Engine din Windows, FSearch a fost întotdeauna răspunsul ideal. Capabil să indexeze milioane de fișiere în doar câteva secunde și să ofere rezultate instantanee pe măsură ce tastezi, FSearch a fost un instrument de nelipsit pentru mulți. Totuși, proiectul părea să fi intrat într-o stare de hibernare, neînregistrând nicio actualizare majoră în ultimii trei ani.

Această tăcere s-a încheiat oficial. FSearch 0.3 a fost lansat, marcând o revenire spectaculoasă care nu doar că modernizează aplicația, dar aduce și funcționalități extrem de solicitate de comunitate.

Iată cele mai importante noutăți din FSearch 0.3:

🔹 Modernizare vizuală cu suport GTK4
Trecerea timpului a lăsat amprente asupra interfeței grafice, motiv pentru care dezvoltatorul a prioritizat modernizarea acesteia:

FSearch 0.3 a fost portat parțial sau complet pregătit pentru GTK4, asigurând o integrare vizuală mult mai fluidă cu mediile desktop moderne (în special GNOME).

Această tranziție aduce un suport mult mai bun pentru ecranele HiDPI (cu rezoluție mare) și o scalare corectă a elementelor de interfață, eliminând neclaritățile vizuale din trecut.

🔹 Căutare instantanee și mai rapidă
Performanța brută a fost întotdeauna punctul forte al FSearch, iar versiunea 0.3 rafinează și mai mult algoritmul de indexare:

Indexare asincronă: Procesul de scanare a discurilor în fundal a fost optimizat pentru a nu mai bloca deloc interfața grafică, chiar și atunci când indexează medii de stocare uriașe sau share-uri de rețea.

Rezultatele căutărilor complexe (inclusiv cele care folosesc expresii regulate - regex) sunt afișate acum cu o latență redusă la minimum.

🔹 Filtre personalizate și sortare avansată
Utilizatorii pot acum să creeze și să salveze filtre de căutare personalizate mult mai complexe (ex: excluderea anumitor directoare de sistem, căutarea doar în rândul fișierelor de un anumit tip sau dimensiune).

Opțiunile de sortare (după nume, dimensiune, cale sau data modificării) au primit optimizări sub capotă, reordonarea listelor de sute de mii de fișiere făcându-se instantaneu.

🔹 Integrare îmbunătățită cu managerul de fișiere
S-a lucrat intens la modul în care FSearch interacționează cu sistemul de operare. Opțiunile de tip „Open with” (Deschide cu) și „Open Directory” (Deschide dosarul părinte) funcționează acum nativ și fără erori cu o gamă mult mai largă de managere de fișiere din lumea Linux (Nautilus, Dolphin, Thunar, PCManFM).

Revenirea FSearch după o pauză atât de lungă este o veste fantastică pentru utilizatorii de Linux care apreciază eficiența și viteza maximă atunci când vine vorba de gestionarea și localizarea fișierelor pe disk.

Have you ever tried real detection-as-code in your CI/CD pipeline?

Not "we keep our Sigma rules in Git." I mean actually treating detection logic the way you treat production code: linted on every commit, validated before merge, tested against real events, so a broken rule never reaches your SIEM in the first place.

RSigma makes that practical. It's an open-source Rust toolkit for the Sigma detection standard, parser, evaluator, correlation engine, linter, CLI, LSP, and more. You can run and validate Sigma rules against your logs without standing up a full SIEM. One static binary, no runtime to install, no dependency management. It drops into a pipeline step and just runs.

Liebe KI-Verweigerer: Euer Kreuzzug ist vorbei.

Selbst Linus Torvalds, Erfinder von Linux und notorischer Grantler, sagt es euch jetzt ins Gesicht: "Fork it or walk away." KI ist ein Werkzeug. Punkt.

Wer 2026 noch "nutzloser Hype" ruft, ist derselbe Typ, der damals Versionskontrolle für eine Modeerscheinung hielt. Ihr habt euch schon einmal geirrt.

🛠️🌳 Forgejo 16.0 a fost lansat: Platforma de dezvoltare aduce notificări granulare și recenzii mult mai bune pentru PR-uriForgejo, platforma lightweight și auto-găzduită (self-hosted) dedicată stocării depozitelor Git și colaborării pe proiecte software (un fork comunitar excelent al Gitea), a primit o actualizare majoră: Forgejo 16.0. Această versiune se concentrează pe reducerea „zgomotului” din fluxul zilnic de lucru, pe îmbunătățirea procesului de recenzie a codului (code review) și pe o securitate sporită. Iată care sunt cele mai importante noutăți din Forgejo 16.0:🔹 Notificări granulare pe depozite (Granular Watch) Una dintre cele mai mari probleme ale dezvoltatorilor pe platformele de colaborare este volumul uriaș de e-mailuri și alerte primite.În Forgejo 16.0, opțiunea de „urmărire” (watch) a unui depozit a fost complet reproiectată. Utilizatorii pot alege acum exact ce tip de activități vor să urmărească: pot bifa doar raportările de probleme (Issues), doar cererile de fuziune (Pull Requests), doar lansările noi (Releases) sau orice combinație dorită între acestea, evitând astfel alertele inutile.Totodată, arhitectura din spate (notification backend) a fost rescrisă pentru o performanță superioară.🔹 Recenzii de cod superioare și comentarii pe mai multe rânduriProcesul de evaluare a Pull Request-urilor (PR) a primit îmbunătățiri extrem de utile, rezolvând probleme vechi legate de poziționarea comentariilor:Comentarii pe mai multe linii: Recenzorii pot selecta acum o întreagă secțiune de cod din diferențe (diff) ținând apăsată tasta Shift pentru a atașa un singur comentariu pe mai multe linii modificate. Listă de commit-uri redesenată: Pagina de PR are acum o listă de commit-uri cu un layout mult mai curat și adaptabil la ecrane de diverse dimensiuni. 🔹 Monitorizarea în timp real a migrării depozitelorDacă decizi să îți muți proiectele de pe GitHub sau alte platforme către instanța ta Forgejo, procesul este acum mult mai transparent:Ecranul de migrare afișează numărul de probleme (issues) și PR-uri transferate pe măsură ce acestea sunt importate în loturi.Pentru a nu aglomera interfața, această bară de progres detaliată apare automat pentru migrările care conțin cel puțin 45 de elemente. 🔹 Optimizări pentru Forgejo ActionsSistemul CI/CD integrat evaluează acum anumite condiții de flux de lucru (workflow) înainte de a trimite joburile către un executant (Forgejo Runner), economisind resurse prețioase de calcul prin evitarea execuțiilor redundante.Fluxurile de lucru finalizate, împreună cu fișierele rezultate (artifacts) și logurile lor, pot fi acum șterse direct din interfața web sau prin intermediul API-ului HTTP. 🔹 Îmbunătățiri de securitate și integritate GitForgejo verifică acum automat obiectele Git primite pentru a detecta inconsecvențele, scăzând drastic riscul de corupere a depozitelor.S-au eliminat fișierele de exemplu (example hook files) din depozitele interne și s-au mutat scripturile automate globale (hooks) într-o locație centralizată și mult mai sigură.Atenție pentru administratori: Autentificarea prin proxy invers (Reverse Proxy) necesită acum configurarea explicită a rețelelor sau adreselor IP de încredere din care provine traficul, sporind siguranța accesului. Forgejo 16.0 se dovedește a fi o actualizare extrem de solidă, rafinând instrumentele zilnice de dezvoltare și oferind administratorilor o platformă Git auto-găzduită tot mai robustă, sigură și plăcută în utilizare. #OpenSource #Forgejo #Forgejo16 #GitForge #SelfHosted #Git #PullRequest #CI_CD #TechNews #Linuxiac

Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.

In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.

But then he goes on and concludes with this:

"The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.

Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.

This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.

In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.

And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.

Linus"

A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.

Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.

Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.

But Linus is wrong.

Tech is politics.

And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.

Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.
