It accomplishes people moving out of Linux to open and anti-imperialist software.
Does anyone know of alternatives or if the people going out, and others, intend to fork it?
What does this comment mean
Linux is used/developed by NATO, DoD, intel/Israel, Mossad, Google and other imperialist entities. There's most likely NSA/CIA/Mossad backdoors in the kernel. They're probably not collecting data from every Linux user, but I am sure that if they wanted to, they could gain access to a Linux/android box.
This is why you shouldn't do anything "sensitiv" on your computer. Use full disk encryption if you can, otherwise Tails booted off of a USB stick on public wifi.
What the imperialist entities have put in linux until now, or the vulnerabilities they found but didn't disclose to anyone, isn't even as much of a problem as what they will likely do now that they are removing the people most likely to be against allowing linux to be used against its users.
lolwut
Net/Free/OpenBSD are alternatives to Linux if that's what you mean
I haven't checked out the state of HURD in a while but possibly that as well
A couple months ago they released an aarch64 port of GNU Hurd and there seem to be at least a couple people working on it.
