Whose agenda? Who's there?
Who's paying?
Summary: The liars and shills working on behalf of Microsoft, salaried by Microsoft through the OSI, carry on controlling perceptions about "AI" while Microsoft uses it as a cover for mass plagiarism. Today's OSI totally lacks credibility and its Board is infiltrated by a Microsoft employee [1, 2] who is a close friend of Matthew J Garrett. It takes bribes from Microsoft to lobby for Microsoft, helping Microsoft against class action lawsuits for GPL violations, i.e. the very opposite of the OSI's mission. Mary Hardy (CELA) from Microsoft is in there, as usual. Their latest "debate" -- like previous ones -- is manned by Microsoft and sponsored by Microsoft.
Given Mozilla's utterly rubbish marketing these days (politics over technical aspects), set aside the cheerleading for slop, there's hardly a chance of Mozilla Firefox reaching or exceeding 10% again
"before that, every distro that wanted to respect its users' freedom had to remove itself all of the binary blobs that were distributed as part of the kernel Linux's so-called sources"
we very seldom see anyone deviating a lot from the "template-like" narrative, let alone mentioning "layoffs" or "RA" or some other term that implies non-consensual departure
