Summary: The so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation (LF), together with edX, are basically marketing their services and products, but this is disguised as 'research' (a false narrative widely parroted by shallow and paid-for media partners of theirs), piggybacking brands like “Linux” and buzzwords like “Open Source” (even when they promote proprietary things, e.g. memorisation of proprietary GUIs)

THE SALARY of Jim Zemlin and his den of nepotism (the Zemlin PAC) requires selling tons of junk, otherwise they will keep operating at a loss. Like Mozilla, they lose money by overpaying themselves. Zemlin is to Linux what Baker is to Mozilla/Firefox.

“It’s a cabal of corporations with a mission to control the public.”In recent years (mostly the past year) Zemlin et al shifted focus to exams and certification in order to fill the gap left by cancelled in-person events (the former cash cow of the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation) and having edX as the paid-for shill of revisionism [1, 2] — paid by LF/Zemlin PAC (indoctrination and corporate training disguised as “ed” or “education”) — means there there are overlapping interests. Mutually beneficial, sure, but not beneficial to the general public. It’s a cabal of corporations with a mission to control the public.

Most of the video above goes through most of the latest LF puff pieces, which I’ve studied patiently and piled up over the course of this week. I hope my explanation makes sense despite it being spontaneous and unscripted, i.e. the usual. █
