Summary: There are some misconceptions that need tackling; back in February (more than 4 months ago) the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation decided to associate with yet another controversial drive that has nothing to do with Linux; some people think it’s a new thing and leap to conclusions

THIS video about the Linux Foundation was done in somewhat of a rush as I had completely lost the first recording (no sound!) and had to redo it poorly from memory and in a bit of frustration (loss of effort leads to that). The short story is, while it’s easy to conflate critics of surveillance with critics of vaccination, the truth of the matter is that the foundation called after "Linux" is a proponent of surveillance and it is promoting companies’ agenda whose underlying philosophy is against Software Freedom. No wonder they try so hard to rewrite the history and distort the record (the age of "Linux", as in GNU/Linux, is almost 38, not just approaching 30).

“If you dislike what these people do with their “LF” events, then stop attending their events. Stop feeding them.”The article from Lunduke isn’t much better than the usual from him. He usually does videos, whereas the text occasionally promotes Microsoft talking points and falsehoods.

The bottom line is, Zemlin and his friends want to maintain their humongous salaries, so they outsource events to proprietary software (‘attendees’ must then embrace proprietary software) and insist on bringing back the cash cows, irrespective of people’s safety. If you dislike what these people do with their “LF” events, then stop attending their events. Stop feeding them. As we showed a few years ago, they try to monopolise events by swallowing competitors. █
