SJVN shilling Microsoft
Microsoft, according to SJVN, "hasn't been evil for about eight years now" in this piece that's hours-old. Article full of lies, distortion, and revisionism (retirement is well overdue, get off the Linux Foundation money).

Summary: An unbelievably misleading article, full of errors, has been published by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols; he also helped shield Bill Gates (Jeffrey Epstein enabler) by defaming Richard Stallman in a site funded by Microsoft, IBM, and their front group 'Linux' Foundation

The UEFI 9/11 - Part VIII - Denial of Service and Selling Us WSL (Windows) Instead of "Risky" (Prone by Breakage by Microsoft) GNU/Linux: Restricted Boot (so-called 'SecureBoot') does not improve security.
