Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.
which is also owned by microsoft, that uses github data to train large language model. So, after decades of trying to kill linux and sabotage it, they finally figured out how to own it.
As a Free software supporter, its just a matter of time before we lose out on our freedoms. Honestly, once Linus retires I do think Linux will continue to thrive with a good team but Linux, the kernel, will either have to adapt to current times (whatever that can be in the future) or something else will replace it and, likely, some AI aspect on top.
It wont be free software and, likely, it will be Microsoft.
