Pretty sad if you think about it

oy vey i must subvert my host operating system

Truly. Linus did do also git which also became a standard, even more so than Linux. Gnu still more important than given credit in public mind share

This is not the fault of free software but rather software in general. It got so complicated that a bunch of enthusiasts can't really maintain it, at least not when it comes to serious software that gets work done. Since almost everything is controlled by software nowadays, you are stuck between software made by greedy pajeet corporations who will turn your local programs into SaaS, enshittify it and brick your devices remotely for the crooked look, or software made by mentally ill pedo troons who will openly shove their agenda down your throat and wipe your storage for being in a wrong country (this actually happened in the past with node ipc). Take the analog pill and avoid relying on software unless you absolutely have to.

yeah too niche

Linus made something people could capitalize on. RMS explicitly made sure no one could capitalize on his tools. Capitalists praised Torvalds since they wished to appease him but RMS had fulfilled his use and rather his development of GNU GPL threatened them.
FSF sadly has outlived its time. With it, GNU utils may soon be replaced as well.
>>
(A)GPL and so on are still relevant. I see no particular issue.
>>
>>103096943
also LGPL
Qt without LGPL would have been a piece of useless proprietary garbage

>>103096874
Git sucks, it's a total piece of shit made for toy projects. It can't resume a failed clone, no matter what you do. Unstable internet but you want to clone a repo? Too bad, at the rate of failure it'll take on average 2^90 git clone attempts before one eventually succeeds, because Git insists on deleting all downloaded files if the network craps out (and it doesn't even retry, lol)
>>
The FSF's undoing was nitpicking unwinnable battles like non-free javascript and firmware and forcing them into an unpopular position that would win over noone.

If you follow their dogma to the T, you would be unable to use any modern website or use any smartphone under 10 years old because they're the only devices supported by deblobbed android distributions.
RMS knows this is an impossible task, which is why he admits to having a whole team of non-free shabbat goys to do his daily computing so he himself doesn't have to touch or interact with any non-free software himself.

He really should have taken AGPL and released it as GPLv4, giving no fucks and letting FAGMAN implode as they scrambled to strip out all FOSS from their production stacks.

not free according to FSF, as it restricts users on what they may have installed along with the SSPLed program

to be fair the only vcs that handles bad connections better than git is fossil and only because the latter ships the entire forge with the repo
everything else requires a direct connection to a server to work (cvs, svn, perforce) or is practically dead for collaboration (arch, bzr)

In your special situation you probably just clone at depth=1 and then git fetch the rest (--unshallow or somesuch)?

>Is Free Software irrelevant now?
It was always irrelevant. Freetards have always been mentally ill pedos.

>>Cucked by Linus, your operating system completely subverted
Subverted by its own developers doing what they always did? This is why we say you freetards are mentally ill.

>>and people just laugh about calling it GNU\Linux
Because GNU has always been a joke. Hurd was never going to be successful.

>>Unfounded pedo accusations
100 quotes of pedo supporting statements from stallman is unfounded?

>>103096927
>[citation needed]
Walk into any retail store.

>who the fuck uses clang?
Most developers. GCC is trash.

>>103096943
They have never been relevant. MIT/BSD are the only real open source licenses. GPL is the real cuck license.

I am not Russian, however it actually happened and the retard behind it caused a lot of damage to western (including Ukrainian) infrastructure. Imagine being like this faggot.

>>103097483
>Most developers
who? I've yet to see anyone who would willingly use clang over gcc
the only exception is probably bsd, but lol cuck licenses
>>
>>103097497
ridiculous, if someone is going to do cyberattacks don't do a broad attack at civilian infrastructure.

>>103097575
The vast majority of custom toolchains shipped by companies now are based on llvm. GCC made itself irrelevant with its cancerous license and with bad technical choices forced by stallman to try to lock developers into GCC.

Everyone should have abandoned FSF the minute he tried to pull that shit. From that point it was obvious to every compiler dev that they never cared about promoting freedom or making quality software. They only cared about forcing GPL on everyone.

>>103097613
don't care, still build everything with GCC
still enjoy better performance

>>103097634
The microsoft compiler has even better performance. You should just use that considering you already don't care about freedom.
>>
>>103097656
>The microsoft compiler has even better performance
you mean the one that doesn't support anything past ANSI C?
>You should just use that considering you already don't care about freedom.
ah yes, freedom to be cucked
>>
>>103097673
>you mean the one that doesn't support anything past ANSI C?
C is a memelang. It's C++ or bust.
>ah yes, freedom to be cucked
Yes, that's the GPL.
