Two days ago: Very Fine Advocacy From the Sole Person Whom the Linux Foundation Left in Charge of Linux.com After Firing All Staff That Actually Used GNU/Linux

Joined Apple
Joined Jim Zemlin of the Linux Foundation, giving the finger to Linux

Summary: People who want to explore GNU/Linux and go to a site called Linux.com (with something called the "Linux Foundation" as its steward) can say, "even Linux.com rejects Linux!" (and promotes things that aren't compatible with Linux)
