Post by: Karel on February 20, 2022, 11:04:58 am
Linux programmers do a better job of patching security holes than programmers at Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

The Linux kernel is probably the most advanced and best handled software project ever on this planet. They should get an award for that (Torvalds has gotten a bunch of awards).

TRUE.

Reason being is that they use the whole ecosystem themselves...
Their business their family gateway for the wild ....

The other cited fellows however use software as a way to claim property of our privacy our business and our life data ...  regardless consequences the unique goal is to make money.

Unfortunately that make money thing reached unprecedented level of  unreliable invasive and deplorable methods...

They claim too much and offer no value for the money..
in particular ...

I just ditched an almost BRAND NEW HP multifunctional to the landfills..
Impossible to live with that junk in my business...

I was once a fanboy of HP products. :-\

Things changed way too much and they are already privatizing LINUX as their property as well..

Very important to make a stand against that.
