GNU in 1991 (35 Years Ago): Compiler and Lots More Ready, Linux Now Becoming 'Vibe Heap' (Slop Replaces Real Code)
Mr. Torvalds cannot (or can no longer) hide his concerns that slop is outnumbering and overwhelming proper work due to a lack of restraints. GCC has a strict policy on slop and Debian is unsure/resistant.
39 years ago the GNU compiler had its first public release, 0.9:
Version 1.35 came out on April 26th, 1989.
GCC's licence, the GPL (GNU General Public License), was released two months earlier, on the 25th of February (1989). Linus Benedict Torvalds was born in late 1969 (3 days before 1970), so he was 19 when the above happened. He would later use GCC and the GPL to make his hobby kernel (nothing professional like GNU, he said Linux was "[j]ust a hobby, won't be big and professional like GNU.") more popular. Linux was originally proprietary, so nobody was really interested in it.
Let this put in perspective the timeline of this thing the media calls "Linux" because a front group of slop (misinformation) companies wants to delete copyleft from the planet while replacing Linux (GPL-licensed) code with GPL-violating slop by hammering away with botspam (bug reports and code made by LLMs controlled by GAFAM). Without curbs in place, many Linux developers will flee. █
