"Security, AI or Quantum" on "the IBM Titanic"

Who's RMS?

IBM CEO on the Future of the Tech Industry

Oceangate: Going 300 under water

An hour ago someone posted this amusing comment: "the best form of payback against IBM is to tell your friends not to buy IBM products or services whether Security, AI or Quantum. IBM sells garbage under Alvind and his Indian cronies, so why waste time and money when there are better products out in the marketplace from better companies ? At some point the mainframe will fall too and then you'll see how the company goes to the wall with nothing to save it, while the crooked executives continue to play musical chairs on the IBM Titanic. Revenge is a dish best served cold to these evildoers."

As we said this morning, Red Hat under IBM quickly became like Novell. They're working for Microsoft instead of competing with it and they seem to have nothing to sell but paywalls (or toll booths) on Free software. It's the antithesis of what GNU/Linux was. IBM treats RHEL like AIX.

They tried hard to make RMS a 'Titanic' (by besieging him for several years and maliciously defaming him). At the end it'll be IBM sinking.
