I booted Slackware 3 off a floppy in 1994. I've written ten novels and some sixty other works on Linux. I wrote one of the first web sites ever developed on it. Linux is the technology foundation I've relied on for more than 30 years. It has been the right tool for every technology challenge I've ever faced.
The world would be a much darker place today if it weren't for Mr. Torvalds. Here's to you, my friend, and here's to 34 more.
You need permission to write software.

How many qualified people has Airways laid off in the last year?
People watch AI slop because YouTube promotes it. YouTube then penalizes and destroys people who make authentic content, usually by turning a robot loose on their livelihoods and just sweeping them all into the street, facts notwithstanding. Very similar to the job and dating markets, coincidentally.

A Big Tech(tm) company faked data to give itself an anti-competitive advantage!? And then lied about it?! They would never do something like that!
Anything at all to avoid hiring an American.
40 million shipwrecked women, sobs echoing in their empty wombs.
40 million angry men who never have sex and can't find a job.
What could go wrong?
Despite the engineers and scientists of Reddit and Slashdot insisting otherwise, writing and writers matter.
Cooperation and socialism are not synonyms.
What jobs are we going to have to buy all this?
Why not just visit those sites directly? What do you need Google for?
Science has been full of bullshit for a lot longer than 40 years.
No shit??
Pure evil.
This is artificial growth engineered on purpose to grab the word "viral" and put it in a headline for free advertising.
If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it.
