Say the Truth, the Rest Will Follow
Over the past week or two we served over a million requests per day and in Gemini too it was almost 100,000 per day (in the two sites/capsules) because interest in GNU/Linux is growing and people are tired of the usual nonsense and lies. Last night we published a rebuttal to very recent FUD - most of it generated by LLMs that Microsoft controls. It was an "overall excellent post on a current problem," one reader told us, as Microsoft is "using slop to cast aspersions at FOSS in general and GNU/Linux and Linux specifically."
There's no guarantee that writing the truth will result in an audience (or readership), but over time - in the long run - people generally gravitate towards what they know or feel to be crude truth, not just what's comforting (albeit false or self-deluding, usually groupthink dictated from above). The only downside is that it then makes one a target and jealous people seek to destroy others rather than improve anything on their own.
Courageous societies need to insist on facts. They need to battle corporate bullies, whose defamatory statements are contagious or "viral" because corporations control all the large platforms. █
Half a year later it's still "unclear".
