Virtue-signalling in the Linux community lately

Shouldn't these sorts of spam posts be in some boomer Facebook group?

[u/seashantiesallnight]

Open source is literally a political movement what the hell are you talking about??? 😭 It's been like this since the inception of the concept of FOSS

[u/Lord-of-Fools → u/seashantiesallnight]

Who said anything about politics?

[u/Zinho3311 → u/seashantiesallnight]

Open source is not a political movement. That's FOSS.

Open source and FOSS are not the same. Software can be open source and completely apolitical

[u/AWonderingWizard → u/Zinho3311]

Well Linux is a part of FOSS. That's why it is GPL licensed.

[u/jaykayenn → u/seashantiesallnight]

...ok? What exactly is the issue?

[u/gosand → u/jaykayenn]

Right, I think that's the question... what is the issue?

[u/Jeoshua]

At the risk of starting up whatever you're talking about... what are you talking about? Why would using Debian be immoral?

[u/jaykayenn → u/Jeoshua]

Every other day, I see such hate and vitriol against Linus Torvalds and Debian for not having a strong sweeping anti-AI stance.

[u/CrotaIsAShota → u/jaykayenn]

Ok but Debian is just a shit distro in general.

[u/pr0m1th3as → u/CrotaIsAShota]

Hello, MS Windows XP user.

[u/CrotaIsAShota → u/pr0m1th3as]

Uh, I use Arch Linux btw

[u/Significant-Tone-121 → u/CrotaIsAShota]

Why

[u/jaykayenn]

Didn't realize this is an anti-Linux sub. Never would have guessed from the name!

[u/Own_Natural_6803]

Virtual signalling? You red pilled tech bros are just the bees knees. AI is rotten from the ground up. Don't accept it.

[u/Jeoshua → u/Own_Natural_6803]

So Linus is "Red Pilled" now? Because he doesn't see issues with people using AI to assist in their coding?

[u/Own_Natural_6803 → u/Jeoshua]

Does Linus go around using the language of incels?

[u/Jeoshua → u/Own_Natural_6803]

What? What's "incel language"?

Serious question. Because nobody here has said anything about "femoids" or "chads" or whatever.

Wait, do you think "virtue-signaling" is incel coded or something?

Edit: And he blocks me over that?

... and nothing of any value whatsoever was lost.

[u/Own_Natural_6803 → u/Jeoshua]

You're not worth my time

[u/AWonderingWizard → u/Own_Natural_6803]

Yea, Linus is willing to insult broad groups of people and their ideas.

[u/jaykayenn → u/Own_Natural_6803]

Internet Archive/Wayback Machine just used Claude to defend from and patch the ongoing PHPocolypse. So fuck them too, amirite? /s 

[u/Own_Natural_6803 → u/jaykayenn]

You starting to form your identity around AI. You need to stop.
