●● Linux Foundation Outsources Events and ‘LF Live’ to Proprietary Software With Back Doors and Surveillance (Zoom)


Posted in Deception, Free/Libre Software, GNU/Linux at 4:01 pm by Guest Editorial Team


Sometimes screenshots/images say it all:


Click on… and boom! (Or zoom!)


Summary: The so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation is choosing proprietary software to do its “LF Live” sessions; this means that people who want to interact with the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation need to install and use proprietary software themselves


HOURS ago the Linux Foundation was saying that it had just launched this thing called “LF Live”; it’s paying to advertise this in other sites which carry the same press release and the first two sessions are with Greg K-H (de facto deputy of Linus Torvalds) and Clyde Seepersad, who only hours ago had a puff piece published by Swapnil Bhartiya, reassuring us that buzzwords replace real job titles (with substance and meaning).

The Linux Foundation is defunct. It’s telling us “Open Source” is great, but it is continuously rejecting it (for its own use). The so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation just misuses the word (not name, trademark) “Linux” to market indecent and harmful agenda. Sometimes it markets operating systems and kernels other than Linux and proprietary software promotion often seems like the norm.


So welcome to “LINUX”… now install proprietary software with back doors (for warrantless surveillance). How very typical…


These people make themselves an easy target for criticism; whose idea was this and who signed off the Zoom papers? It’s bad enough that they use Zoom themselves; but now they compel other people to install and use Zoom as well. █
