Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

MODERATORS
Damn, things are heating up. 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.
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?
If that's really true, then what is even the point of having a 'Linux Foundation'? Because I'm like 99% sure Linux as a whole won't ever have a lack of sponsors.
If not corruption, why corruption-shaped?
Probably a bit of both, Torvalds is clearly no Stallman, in good and bad ways. People have a way to justify things to themselves that happen to benefit them ... Linux would be a very different project if it didn't have that US tech corp money.
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.
