Not everyone seems to understand Tivoization, but regardless, Linus Torvalds likes it. In the following video, Richard Stallman talks about Tivoization and explains his pet peeves, which you may or may not sympathise with. The part of about TiVo starts about a minute after the start.

Adam, there is actually a project close to gnash that can play YouTube videos. It is Free software. YouTube still uses Flash 7, so proprietary codec (with required royalties) are not a problem (but I agree with your point, which was raised before).
It seems likely the end of Vista 10 coinciding with a sharp rise in memory prices (and now energy prices) will benefit GNU/Linux and therefore give us more to write about
MinceR says the "lkml [message/page] one is April Fools or at least they're trying to pass it off as April Fools [however] the [GitHub] one was archived on the 8th and yesterday, so that probably isn't..."
Like Scam Altman, Larry Ellison hangs around Cheeto King because he could use some bailouts in the form of government contracts or phony money with an incredible name like "Stargate"
When forums say that they banned Microsoft Lunduke or don't want him mentioned it's probably because they are familiar with the "stench" that follows him around
