No, not really, and I don't think you need to be snarky.

It may be an industry body, but it runs multiple community conferences and projects which support Open Source. A notable example in this case being the OpenSSF https://openssf.org/

The LF is not perfect, but I would expect them to come from an OSS and community angle on this.

My best understanding from reading this is a) where possible and b) where necessary. This is the Linux Foundation, so it must put OSS and community first, surely.

People talk about contributing financially, but how and to what end? Most projects aren't set up to accept or utilise donations. That said, I would say we should be providing all OSS projects with significant access to AI in order to review their codebases and PRs and hopefully relieve some of the maintenance burden. I know there are some initiatives in this area already.

I stopped reading in anger at "That’s not an accident; it was the point."

It's pretty disrespectful imo -- it feels like the reader's time is worth less than the author's.

That's what I thought, but in the 2nd para:

> No Roman numerals. No Arabic numerals. No left-to-right reading direction. No assumed orientation. Something that works in a mirror, in zero gravity, in any language spoken on Earth or beyond it.

As other comments have pointed out, base 10 is a pretty big assumption though.

I noted "warfighter" as well. Never heard that before.

I played with some of these tools 12 years ago and created "dim", but it was really just Vim with limelight and goyo in a Docker container.

There is something nice about having the editor as a separate command especially for writing.

I assume they just pretend to be the Googlebot so the site just gives the text.

It's all the same people. If you really don't know, a few of the incidents are here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c6299nrj76yo

The ladder is still there! See that pile of wood there? That's where we put the rungs. And if dig in that hole over there you might even find the extension we removed last week...
