Summary: Despite projects like OpenSUSE, Novell promote proprietary software, spreads Microsoft APIs, and gives Microsoft anti-Linux ammunition
THE video above shows Novell and Microsoft as a pair, as usual. Those two companies are not rivals. In other recent videos about Novell [1, 2] we just see a lot of proprietary software advertising from Novell, which is more like Microsoft than Red Hat. Except for Novell's proprietary agenda and SLE* releases as described in the British technology press [1, 2], there's negligible OpenSUSE news (very little of it these days) and news about Novell's spreading of Mono. Some bits of news are a little more enlightening:
Gnote is a great choice because it’s lightweight and doesn’t have Mono as a dependency.
It is amazing that some people refuse to believe that Novell's .NET/C# advocacy is any different from its Silver Lie advocacy. It's about APIs, not just patents. The Hovsepian-led Novell is a parasite feeding on the GNU/Linux community in order to make itself richer by serving Microsoft agenda inside this community. Novell is most likely to give its patents to Microsoft pretty soon (another massive cash infusion for Novell and FUD infusion for Microsoft), so let's not pretend that Novell is a defender of the community. ⬆
It certainly does seem like they receive money from taxpayers for nothing, or for IBM to do mass layoffs/closure at Albany under the guise of "making a new spinoff"...
If the election is run by platforms that have back doors "baked-in" and if the communications are overseen by GAFAM, you would not have to be a "nutty MAGAt" to dispute the outcome
"It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy."
