[Meme] Fake Articles From linuxsecurity.com (Just Googlebombing "Linux" With LLM Slop)

RedHat.com Written by Microsoft Staff, Promoting Microsoft' Proprietary Software That Does Not Even Run on Linux!

This is RedHat.com this week:

Aside from Amit Khandelwal (Microsoft):

Does Arne Arnold work for Microsoft or for Red Hat? All the posts promote proprietary software of Microsoft. They also promote serious security holes.

Microsoft's SQL Server runs on Drawbridge, it wasn't even properly ported to RHEL. But the above was published by Microsoft, so what else can be expected?

Red Hat is quickly becoming a joke of a company. Only hours ago we showed that it had become a Microsoft reseller, pushing a technical program that's inherently against software freedom.

RHEL itself became proprietary 2 years ago. Avoid Red Hat if you value software freedom (IBM does not). █
