THE Linux Foundation is planning months in advance its next propaganda campaign (press release published by Perlow across sites). It's also working closely with Microsoft, as does Canonical (and IBM for that matter).

"We're under attack the the brand "Linux" (like "Open Source") blinds us; we seem to be losing sight of who's really winning the bigger battle."They tell us stuff like "Linux has won", but whose "Linux"? What do they even mean by that word? Microsoft SQL Server? The video discusses some of the latest WSL nonsense, the attacks on the FSF and its founder (who also started the GNU/Linux operating system, formerly known as the "GNU Operating System" -- a term the people at the FSF still use), and this utter lunacy from Perlow, who is boosting and openwashing Microsoft (he's a former employee), having also noted that he has long hated Stallman and used ZDNet to defame him (we covered this several times in Techrights over a decade ago and also years ago). He represents the corporate occupation (he also supports an illegal military occupation, but that's purely political); he promoted Mono and Moonlight, even before Microsoft bought the whole thing and hired him. We're under attack the the brand "Linux" (like "Open Source") blinds us; we seem to be losing sight of who's really winning the bigger battle. Those who control and police the brands also own the players. They're not our friends but monopolists' friends (they are also funded by them). ⬆
