This one is definitely worth a read, and it sounds like a goodbye, considering that this attitude surely isn't compatible with a longterm continued work relationship: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20260716112048.2dc10a3f@hermes.development.it/ Though I do think that it's worth remembering that this discussion is about code analysis tools, not code generation tools. The choices don't look particular great, considering that malicious actors won't have any qualms about using AI tools to discover exploits. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] AppleMango@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (2 children) This is actually eye-opening. One problem I have is: the sponsors of LF basically own Linux and control it? Linus doesn't have any of his own personal opinions on top of that?

Because I'm like 99% sure Linux as a whole won't ever have a lack of sponsors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world [S] 7 points 1 week ago If not corruption, why corruption-shaped? permalink fedilink source parent [β] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago Probably a bit of both, Torvalds is clearly no Stallman, in good and bad ways.

Organizations like the LF are also useful for coordinating the interests of the various stakeholders, regardless of what one thinks of whether these interests are worthwhile. permalink fedilink source parent
