The Linux Foundation had $300 million in revenue in 2025.

chance of success still 50/50!

@hbons given they (apparently) also won't answer inquiries about AI use in the kernel https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/e12330b9-c29e-45ca-9375-9e3d13426d85@horse64.org/T/ I can't say I'm particularly surprised. They're on Mastodon btw, @lfeurope

[molotovbeaver@mastodon.social]

@hbons But think of the poor marketing team working hard for the six figure salary. Those Atlas like figures holding the modern world atop there shoulders, and just for a six figures, god bless them.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@MolotovBeaver slop and prayers.

[molotovbeaver@mastodon.social]

@hbons Slops and prayers, brother!

@licho @hbons 3.5' ? What is the scale of the whole scene if the floppy is 3.5 feet wide?

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@hbons they also just argued for a license change for "open source AI models" (which means open weight models) that will hinder people from suing model providers if they ever used a model. Linux foundation is not an ally.

@ptesarik sorry, I'm not American. I don't know what's the symbol for an inch. I thought it's equivalent to arc minutes and I have zero will to check what's the actual symbol @hbons

[nventor@chaos.social]

@hbons “built by a community” is the icing on that shitcake

[ptesarik@infosec.exchange]

@licho @hbons I'm not American either. I'm merely so old I used a lot of 3½" and even 5¼" floppies when I was young, so the symbol is now baked into my mind.

[desikn@mastodon.social]

@hbons The designer probably did this.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@nVentor wow, didn't even notice that...

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@ptesarik @licho this is some attention to detail I don't even have.

[osqar@neopaquita.es]

@hbons And what about the keyboard with 4 rows of keys on the left side and 3 on the right one?

[licho@kolektiva.social]

@ptesarik I used them a lot too @hbons

[engideer@tech.lgbt]

@nVentor @hbons "We never said we meant a community with any humans in it"

[c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io]

@tante @hbons yeah, I don’t know if they ever were, but I am sad to see them do this shit. There was once a reasonable course on defensive coding of something that they produced and put up on edX that I liked. And I like most of the OpenSSF scorecard ideas—enough that I tried to take them and deploy them at work to make it easier to evaluate internal software products that were notionally things that could be shared or “leveraged”.

[yatil@yatil.social]

@hbons Clearly Flip-Floppies.

@ptesarik @licho @hbons

Mistakes like this is how you end up with dwarves kicking over a model of Stonehenge.

@hbons look, Linus needs his money
