    I decided to read the article for once and holy shit.

    “These terms included affirming the statement that we “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.”

    Good on them for refusing but also government just hindered all the cybersecurity infrastructure involving python because they hire non-white people.

      discriminatory equity ideology

      … are they trying to change what DEI even means in the process here? Incredible.

        Yup. It’s like one of those facebook “DND secretly stands for Devils New Day” rhetoric.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
