Oh yeah. Don't blame all the German companies that used slave labor in concentration camps either. Unhinged capitalism is a mind disease that only ends up in fascism.

For the type of software that Redis is intended for, integration over network is a must. Hence "just using it" isn't a viable option. AGPL isn't LGPL, it infects anything that uses it over a network. If Redis was AGPL wh

OP meant the US. The world and its allies will isolate US. Just like they did with Soviets.

They can. They need nonpolitical institutions with actual power. Yes it adds bureaucracy but it is more resilient. It doesn't take away from democracy, on contrary it strengthens it. The juridical power is one of those. Just like we do

This is simply too complex. There are quite a bit dependencies on Glibc and other GNU-based behavior. What you're actually asking from them is creating a new Android or Chrome OS i.e. recreating the entire userspace. "Just split u

What do you use golang for? If your answer is only web-dev and if you don't touch anything GUI, system libraries, PAM or VPNs, you simply haven't compiled something complex enough.

There are actually no direct results that prove an actual missile running Linux. Simulations yes. Linux running a missile itself no.

You don't need to bundle anything from the system layer on Windows programs distributed as binaries. On Linux there is no proper separation of system libraries or optional libraries, everything could be both and there are no API /

Yep, having a single supplier of the system layer usually ends up with better backwards compatibility for binary distribution. That's also why I have the opinion that the world is worse off due to the fact that Linux "won" Un

How many do you know running Linux? Most of them are either specialized bare-metal OS and the rest is VxWorks.

Maybe we should fund ReactOS for end-user applications. Win32 is well established and isn't going anywhere. So why not take advantage of Microsoft's API design effort

And NSS defines how usernames are matched to uids, how DNS works, how localization works and so on. If you're changing libc you need to ship an entire distro as well since it will not use the system libraries of a glibc distro correctl

If Linux userspace had libraries with stable ABI, you could just tar or zip binaries and they would work. You wouldn't need to bundle system layer. This is how you deploy server apps on Windows Server systems. You just unpack and they

Win32 is quite extensive for an OS API. It covers the space from low-level stuff like syscalls and page allocation and all the way up to localization, simple media access and GUI. So everything from glibc, libsystemd, libpam to libalsa and
