Interesting Youtube Video

The issue isn't that Linux has some technical superiority, it's that we have silo's if interest from oublic and private sector actors colluding to control our screens, it exists in Android, Firefox, Windows etc, all the same thing. Even the open source guys with their "no bi ary blobs" and excluding closed source qpps from repos are doing the same thing.

One thing I've observed about software developers, many of them are controlling narcissists. When you think about computer programming from a 10,000ft view, it certainly would look appealing to people with average intelligence who have strong verbal iq and Machiavellian tendency's to picn computer program as a trade because they would be scratch that itch for tyrannical control. 

You can see it with open source projects ejecting contributors and community participants anytime they question or speak against the opinions of the core operations group. 

It would be nice if their was a way to find those people and box them up so that couldn't harm everyone but they're everywhere in the software engineering landscape engaging in social engineering scheme's.closed or open source doesn't matter. 

Recently OS News blasted owner thom howlerda "check spelling" blasted byran lunduke for being a nazi, bryan is jewish. He was being blasted because he disagrees with the leftist narrative being pushed everywhere 

I haven't read anything so stupid and inane in a long time

You do realize most Linux development is funded by the US government and intelligence agencies??? Most linux development is funded simply to keep unix alive, which was funded largely by public institutions.

Y'all can't see the truth, even EMC was started by NIST a federal agency.

correct me if I am wrong but isn't MacOS pretty much UNIX?

> correct me if I am wrong but isn't MacOS pretty much UNIX?
Darwin is the core Unix-like operating system of macOS (previously OS X and Mac OS X), iOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, audioOS, visionOS, and bridgeOS. It previously existed as an independent open-source operating system

> You do realize most Linux development is funded by the US government and intelligence agencies
most ? certainly not
a few of the developers ? certainly yes
but it is much more difficult to put backdoors in opensource than in closed source, and US companies are more or less forced to do so. That doesn't work so easily with FOSS

we should all be glad that there is open software otherwise the big companies could do whatever they want with us

@smc.collins
don't you find it a bit strange to rant about opensource programmers but on the other hand obviously use their software ?
or why are you in a LinuxCNC forum ?

and do i understand you correctly, if you would lower yourself to the level of a developer it would be no problem for you to write all the software yourself ?

do you even know what a narcissist is?
he feels superior to everyone else, never makes mistakes himself and it's always the others' fault.

If developers were like that, there would be no bug fixes, because that would mean that they had made a mistake.

But I can see a few characteristics in your behaviour
 

Well the more you know. LOL
