Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.
Let’s be clear, Red Hat is no more. It is now a set of labels and brands on the marionette strings of IBM, the “let’s sell jew-counting machines to the Nazis” people.
Fucks sake, did they really do that?
Oh, don’t worry. They played for both sides and helped America as well.
And by “helped America”, I mean helped facilitate the internment of over a hundred thousand civilians of Japanese descent.
But still, they helped in the war effort, I suppose. Who they helped just depends on your perspective at any given time.
Good lord! I had no idea about all that. I appreciate the info.
Yeah, IBM supplied a ton of computers to the Nazis during the war, as well as expertise on implementation/usage, from my understanding.

Wow. TIL…
Yes they’re owned by IBM now.
Every time a company gets bought it dies, and the buyers start wearing it’s skin. We must learn to always look past the skin suit.
