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

@hbons The biggest flops being the LF themselves

[sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@hbons They never did TBH, but the people who mattered (keen users, like minded peers) did, and many still do. I have to believe that deep down lots of people still value craft and care, maybe not about every subject, but for everything I think there is a group who still care, and that it’s worth making things for them. Because probably that’s who we were making them for before anyway, there were just a lot of casuals drawn in as a side effect who now just more openly not care

@sinbad this is definitely fuel for me to continue to make quality stuff. just not for these companies anymore.

@hbons
I've heard of floppy disks and flippy disks but this is an abomination

[maker_tom@famichiki.jp]

@Fnordinger
Perfect
@hbons

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@maker_tom @Fnordinger I love how the word can be integrated into just about any slopic.

[tabby@gts.iltabellinoweb.eu]

@hbons But they need those money for AI tokens.

@hbons

How many toes does Tux have on his right foot?

[gins@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@hbons You were the chosen one!

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@faddi1999 you can see from his dead stare that they're torturing him.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

chance of success still 50/50!

[ell1e@hachyderm.io]

@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!

[ptesarik@infosec.exchange]

@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.
