@zzt But yes, the entire reason Linux became big was because the GNU Mach kernel project was in development hell, and then Linus posted a hobby project as part of a rebuttal to a debate with one of his professors that was Good Enough to make the GNU coreutils standalone. Hell, remember the original posting Linus made? He never wanted it to become big! But it did anyway and now we're all paying the price
@techokami @zzt Andrew Tanenbaum right? I remember we had books from him for our systems courses in computer science.

"when our labor is stolen that’s a personal betrayal"
I don't understand how more people don't see this. They're strip-mining the internet and selling it back to you via taps that they control. It's crazy to me that people are so quick to willingly surrender to what is clearly a new form of mass oppression that's taking root.
I'm already dealing with fresh college grads who can't arrive at solutions without prompting, it's extremely alarming every time I run into these people in classes.
Also, as an aside, the people who are okay with slopping code but don't like it when art is slopped are a whole other enigma to me. Like, do you just not value your work? Is that it?Altman did say:
"We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for," he added"

It's why they've had books destroyed after scanning them for AI, with the intention of forcing us to depend on AI's regurgitated output when they originals can no longer be found.
This is by design and goes beyond just AI vomit infecting open source. 🤬

@workingclassgames @zzt Yeop! Andy made a academic-only UNIX clone that was part of the inspiration as well as part of Linus' coursework

@zzt I might write a more detailed version of this later on tonight, no promises
@zzt teaser for the thing I am writing:
"This resulted in Stallman taking the first draft of his unhinged plans to make a UNIX replacement and nailing them to the doors of the net.unix-wizards and net.usoft newsgroups in September of 1983." -

"apparently Berkeley pulling off a Ship of Theseus with the entire UNIX operating system really pissed off the phone company." -

@workingclassgames @techokami @zzt tanenbaum is cool as fuck amoeba is one of the five interesting OS designs ever made

@zzt @davidgerard I've noticed boosters use that whataboutism to cope with the fact people usually don't want to deal or engage with their slop.
@steppe_lord @davidgerard @zzt
whataboutism is often a tactic and call whistle of Ur-Fascism

@hipsterelectron @workingclassgames @zzt if Minix wasn't licensed to be academic-only until the 2000s things would be much more different
shame nobody wants to revive Minix 3. Except Intel for their CPUs.
