Phoronix Swims With the Real Trolls, People Who Fancy Proprietary Software and Back Doors
Microsoft Larabel: people who 1) like copyleft; 2) don't trust Microsoft GitHub; 3) don't want broken programs with bugs and missing functionality... are "TROLLS"
Is Larabel intentionally provoking for comments? The above headline from Larabel seems like it is - in its own right - a form of trolling (or "clickbait" - a more common terminology by which to describe it).
We wrote extensively about technical and legal issues in Rust (RMS brought them up in Georgia last month) and attempts to replace GNU with Microsoft GitHub.
If Larabel begins to actively participate in provocation with the "Microsoft GitHub fans club", what does this tell us about Phoronix?
They won't stop at GNU, either. Security is actually under attack when they outsource everything to Microsoft GitHub (whose CSO is a decades-long NSA person). They already do this to sudo as well [1]. They do this from at least 3 directions: Microsoft misuses the word sudo (to describe something in Windows that has nothing to do with sudo), its proxy Amutable makes its own 'version' (with "0" in it), and the "Microsoft GitHub fans club" decided to re-implement sudo in the name of security (when it fact it turns out the Rust version had more defects than the real sudo). They're aliasing the real thing out of existence to harm security or redefine security as "Microsoft (US government) is in charge". Some of the boosters of this agenda are actually former spies from the British Army. Go figure. █
