Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell
Is this supposed to be some kind of flex? Average user age on lemmy is more than old enough for the majority of users to have been using linux pre 9-11.
am a long term open source dev and contributor…
That is a flex, kudos. I’ve been dreaming about contributing to an open source project for a while now.

To imply he’s part of the 1% is absurd. He’s a small Canadian business owner. He’s well off sure, but he’s not fucking muskrat with hundreds of billions in net worth.

Google loves money. They contribute to open source sometimes, because it will financially benefit them in some fashion.
They don’t “love” or “care” about programmers, Linux or anything like that. If tomorrow it was more profitable for them to axe all their open source contributions, they would.
Rofl. Are you trolling? I can’t tell.

Only cowards check update notes.
That being said, just yesterday I looked at the man page for gcc because I wasn’t sure how to use a specific option and it was very useful. Gave me exactly the info I needed.
Maybe there is some merit to simply reading the documentation instead of asking to be spoon fed… I’m prepared to be downvoted to oblivion for this opinion.
