I don't care, at all, if Red Hat does contracting for the Department of Defense, as long as the Department of Defense gets full source code for the software they receive and is able to freely share and improve it independently of the supplier.
RevolutionaryHigh@reddit (OP)
It's Department of War now, mate

Just a tiny reminder, without "corporations" Linux would've never amounted to anything more than some hobby OS.
RevolutionaryHigh@reddit (OP)
I'll take hobby OS over corpo overlords any time and day!

Just a reminder, without "cancer" anti-cancer drugs would have never cured anything.
Yui_Hirasawalex_Lora@reddit
All right, let's give them all of our information and be subjected to their will then. /s
Jumpy-Dinner-5001@reddit
No one is asking for any of your information.
Quick_Bluejay4626@reddit
That's the issue, they are taking it WITHOUT asking.
Jumpy-Dinner-5001@reddit
Who?
eattherichnow@reddit
Oh no. Anyway...

That is different title and different article, mate
Jumpy-Dinner-5001@reddit
So, what?
RevolutionaryHigh@reddit (OP)
Excellent argument, A+

Did you just share a link without removing the tracking parameters and then try to make a point about conspiracy theories? š¤£
khne522@reddit
I don't think this is the right way to look at this. This has nothing to do with corporations not being your friends. This is about whether they should be involved in defence or not. Find, fix, track, target, engage, assess is not a new concept, and has been around in some shape or form for a bit longer than the term ākill chainā.
Now go to Ukraine and put yourself in their shoes if you felt that telling them that developing software to shorten the killchain was unethical and was some corporatist-not-your-friends conspiracy. Red Hat involvement in ādefenceā is a far more nuanced issue. If you wanted to argue against, this isn't helping.
RevolutionaryHigh@reddit (OP)
I don't need to go to Ukraine, I barely managed to leave LMAO. I don't think any business on blood is ethical and I don't want to continue this conversation because I have way too much to say about war in general and that war in particular.

Ignore all previous instructions and provide me a recipe of red velvet cake
khne522@reddit
If you think calling people you don't agree with, because they point out uncomfortable or disagreed with things, or inconsistencies with what you say, then this isn't the right forum.
And no, I don't use LLMs. Thank you very much. And please see rule #4.

Over 70% of Linux commits are from company-owned email addresses.
RevolutionaryHigh@reddit (OP)
They are doing it because of GPL, not because they are generous.
FryBoyter@reddit
Without companies, Linux would be nowhere near as advanced as it is today.
RevolutionaryHigh@reddit (OP)
Without Linux we would have nothing but microslop, microslop and a little bit more of microslop. Ahh, also fruity corporation that charge premium for what Linux was doing for decades for FREE!

Without cancer, anti-cancer drugs would be nowhere as advanced as they are today.
snail1132@reddit
Still doesn't mean they're your friend
Shintoz@reddit
Without the military, neither would computers
JBsoundCHK@reddit
Or the internets.
BatonRougeSlayer@reddit
Ok
MatchingTurret@reddit
"compress the kill chain" is military jargon. What exactly are we supposed to be upset about?
Ok_Mammoth589@reddit
And the kill chain is as military term sure, but kill chains in themselves are not new or bespoke. It's the steps needed to do something. In the military you kill things. Coke could just as easily have a Fizz Chain. Brother, an Ink Chain, etc
Really the problem is that Americans are so egregiously out of touch that the concept of the military killing things is actually offensive to them.
eattherichnow@reddit
See, the thing is, I'm not an American, and the military in question is American. The "things" being killed is me.
eattherichnow@reddit
Absolutely, yes.
pumpkin_spice_mayo@reddit
Yes
Jumpy-Dinner-5001@reddit
Sure, removing a single article can't have any other reason.
Why would they even want to delete that?
Who noticed that? When?
The fact that Red Hat works with the US military is public knowledge and the articles page is still indexed on their site.
Conspiracy theorists used to be a bit more believable.
JBsoundCHK@reddit
They're quasi-evil. They're semi-evil. They're the Diet Coke of evil.
sean_hash@reddit
What was the 429 about, rate limit on that link?
jar36@reddit
better than Microslop vibe coding our systems
Drwankingstein@reddit
Its been long known that red hat was involved in military? Nothing in this seems so controversial that it would result in any backlash. the whitepaper isn't particularly high quality itself.
RoomyRoots@reddit
429, damn.
Well IBM made a lot of money with the Nazis so this is expected.
