    Weird that he didn’t care when Linus Torvalds adopted basically the same policy to the kernel that serves as the foundation of the main Debian distribution. I have an inkling that there is more going on at Debian, not LLM use alone.

      didn’t he? have you checked?

      the main thing is that it’s an upstream problem. the linux kernel is used in nuclear missiles. if you want to stay on that kernel you have to take what you are given. in your own organisation you can at least try to change things.

          Idk anything about this…but here is my Google results

          https://concurrent-rt.com/redhawk/redhawk-linux-for-the-golden-dome-missile-defense-architecture/?v=8bcc25c96aa5

          Don’t think golden dome is actually implemented, though just some trump delusion…but apparently this Redhawk Linux is used in…

            This is an educated guess but I think the entire US nuclear arsenal is so old that it predates Linux entirely.

        Nuclear missiles probably run vxworks or another rtos, not linux

        He didn’t leave the Linux-based OS for Linus Torvalds himself stating a similar policy for the Linux kernel before Debian did.
        Debian has a history of maintaining ancient kernels. But it’s hard to believe that he assumed Debian to just fork Linux…

        If he resigned only now, he didn’t resign before. What is there to check? That is common sense. Linus allowed LLM use and he was fine with Debian building on it. After all, all LLM use is literal fascism in his eyes.
