Rust Propaganda Now Amplified by Slopfarms Powered by Microsoft LLMs, Encouraging the Outsourcing of GNU/Linux Distros to Microsoft/GitHub/NSA (and a Shift Away From GPL/Copyleft)
Moving to Microsoft GitHub and adopting unfinished, untested code for highly critical bits
The slopfarm linuxsecurity.com has long produced pro-Rust slop, even SEO spam. We gave many examples of that. It's like they choose the prompts to promote this sort of agenda and this time, based on some real articles [1, 2], which linuxsecurity.com probably calls "training set" (to plagiarise by bot/s), it is promoting the controversial moves of Microsoft Canonical [1, 2] - moves that were already condemned in some 'hardcore' GNU/Linux sites that understand what's at stake. They're moving Ubuntu from copyleft and reliable code to Microsoft slopware because some young dude from the Army gets his facts from the back doors proponents or social control media or higher-ups who have other priorities, starting with a cull of GNU.
This is the fake article:
Nope, humans didn't write this:
Nor did they compose this: (same day)
More chaff and noise:
As we said earlier today, a lot of articles about Microsoft layoffs are also LLM slop produced by Microsoft LLMs, distracting from an impending calamity. Why does Canonical outsource to Microsoft after serious breaches? Why are so many sites foolishly parroting the lies about "security" or "memory safety" (the latter became a bit of a buzzword in recent years), coming from a youngster who lacks experience in anything other than mass surveillance at the state level? These people strive to have back doors in everything.
An associate explained that Rust is just a distraction for the real payload: a CoC. The associate based this on actual, real-world examples, not some meritless hypothesis, saying it's trouble "and a CoC is not about helping but about wresting control away from the skilled people, especially the founders." More than 3 years ago Dr. Andy Farnell explained the effect of this outsourcing to Microsoft via GitHub.
As we saw only days ago, the CoC is a social weapon against even the most prominent programmers. This was explained in a talk last summer in the US.
The CoC is not (and never was) about kindness. It's all about control over people. Those who exercise control abuse the power and further up the chain large corporations control them. Money buys control (e.g. Microsoft [1, 2] inside the Linux Foundation, a consistent pusher of the Rust troublemakers). █
