Linux is largely financed by American corporations. Without that, Linux wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today.

How far you wanna go back to figure out what Linux would/wouldn't be without specific companies and individuals? You're taking "stealing credit for something" to a whole new level.

Linux is 100% created by an ethnically Swedish guy in Finland. Your point is?

Ouch, so many wrong statements with your comment, where to begin. For starters, you seem to imply that Linux is done created, but Linus is still actively creating more of Linux, so check mate, mate.

You sunk my battleship!

As a Finish/American citizen. Not sure why people should trust the rest of what you write when you cannot even get the basics correctly.

Edit: Aww, you were so wrong you had to edit the complete comment to say something else? Boo! Come on, stand up for being wrong when it happens.

I’m a European who has contributed to the kernel (a single, pathetic patch but a patch nonetheless). That means at the very least it’s not 100% created by Linus

I should have been more specific about what “created” meant, but my point was just to emphasize how ridiculous it is to ascribe national provenance to a massive open source project like Linux.

And without American AI to patch security holes, Linux and the software running on it will become hopelessly insecure.

Yeah, because the only thing that's for certain is that American LLMs are so special that they cannot be reproduced, as everyone has been knowing already in 2023 from the public "we have a gigantic moat" Google memo.

lol somebody didn’t hear the news about Kimi and GLN 5.3 cyber
