There goes the open source world, and Linux!


GitHub ain't the only code-hosting service out there. If the terms of
service become onerous, I'm gone.


The FOSS world is immune to the Evil Empire's monopolizing
machinations.


+1. Very much true.

What the **** do you know? By your own admission you are just
a desktop dabbler.

RedHat, their lackey Poettering, and systemd are the "Evil"
within FOSS. As their hegemony takes hold it will become
harder and harder for independent and alternative projects
to be sustained.

GNOME has just received $1,000,000 from an unknown benefactor,
which is most likely RedHat. With that kind of money directed
toward a SINGLE PROJECT the mainstream distros won't pay much
attention to anything else.

RedHat and systemd are POISONS that should be purged from FOSS.

But what the **** would you know? All that you can do is
click ersatz "buttons."
