=> casually trolls the community and disguises this trolling as righteous causes
Summary: Next month we’ll start a series about how the Linux Foundation and its corporate handlers (sponsors such as Microsoft) actively attack the community and weed out community participation in Free software (they call it “Open Source”, typically reject copyleft, and outsource everything to proprietary GitHub where only corporations do everything)
=> Linux Foundation | sponsors such as Microsoft
THE media clout of the Linux Foundation (LF) is evident and obvious from its media budget. It’s millions of dollars spent on “media” and similar campaigning, so many people forget all the awful things this foundation is doing.
“Next month we’re going to show that littering or spamming sites isn’t even the worst LF has done. It goes much further than that and crosses over to dark/negative campaigning.”
To make matters worse, the foundation uses its money to seed puff pieces (for itself, not for Linux) in so-called ‘Linux’ news sites. As an example, see how LinuxInsider was running SPAM pieces/PR for ‘Linux’ Foundation just earlier this week. It’s not about Linux. Not even remotely.
It goes a lot further than this example. Years ago FOSSForce and ItsFOSS were dabbling in “LF spam” for a while (no idea how much that paid), which meant that those sites became ads for LF instead of Linux and they promoted all sorts of junk, even “DEALS” (marketing).
Next month we’re going to show that littering or spamming sites isn’t even the worst LF has done. It goes much further than that and crosses over to dark/negative campaigning.
LF is a cancer on Linux. How many “Linux” sites are left untainted by LF bribes and can actually say this? Years before FOSSForce ran puff pieces and ads for LF the site’s founder, Christine Hall, had openly blasted LF. What happened since then? Did LF reform itself or just open up its wallet?
Next month we’ll have plenty of material to cover, so stay tuned. █
