- cr3ative 4mo ago“I’m able to parse a marketing term” isn’t a great claim here. Pointing out it’s an unclear term largely abused is valid.
- wmf 4mo agoThat's not what I meant. IBM published some scientific papers which explain the details. If you don't have the background to understand the papers and you don't trust the marketing that still doesn't justify rhetorically flipping the table.
- pjmlp 4mo agoPeople love to hate on IBM, ask why it is relevant today, while several of their beloved FOSS projects are in some way, form or fashion, made possible with IBM's money.
- Oras 4mo agowhich beloved FOSS were funded by IBM?
- rswail 4mo agoThey effectively funded the legal defense against SCO that was trying to claim ownership of the IPR to Unix/Linux. They bought and funded (and still fund) Redhat which funds Fedora and GNOME and Wayland and systemd.
- wolvesechoes 4mo agoSeems they own Red Hat, which is some no-name company that has nothing to do with Linux.
