Apparently, 12% of Technology Workers Believe that MacOS is based on Linux

TOS can't change Law, can't strip away rights that you have.
Law always trumps TOS.
In fact, if a company tries to via their TOS they are opening themselves up for big risks/lawsuits, as they are trying to gain ownership of your content, voiding their Safe Harbor law protections.
They can't have it both ways, thats not how the Law works. Either they have the protection, or they own the content.

They share some inspiration. Same with Linux/Unix confusion.
About 15 minutes in a terminal trying to do Linux'y things are you get completely disillusioned.

Well, scrapers probably would ignore it.
Maybe, I wouldn't doubt it, if true. We live in the age of "ask for forgiveness and not permission". But the law is the law, and forgiveness may cost them some $$$ down the road. At the very least it leaves them exposed vis-a-vis 'Safe Harbor' laws-wise, when some other powerful entity wants to go to war with them.
In either case, I'm not going to give up my rights just because currently laws are not enforced. Like most things with humans, things move back-and-forth throughout time, and what may be overlooked today may be scrutinized thoroughly tomorrow.
(And for the record, you're the bazillionish person to tell me that. The repetition is real.)

One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.
-
Newer macOS is not Unix certified.
It's UNIX 03 compliant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification

Linux Is Not Unix, Xavier!
-
Anything can be Unix if you're willing to pay for the certification.

That license does nothing.
Especially since the comment itself in question is so short that it would be public domain in practically every jurisdiction.

But not the Linux kernel itself.
-
What would you say determines whether a kernel is a Unix kernel? I believe Linux is as much a Unix kernel as the BSD kernel is, the FreeBSD kernel, the AIX kernel, the System V kernel, etc.

Lunduke sucks. Let's have some Judeposting instead

who even cares

I mean the dude is literally Jewish and pro Israeli, it isn't even surprising he would have an L take like that

What would you say determines whether a kernel is a Unix kernel?
Not what, who. And the answer is The Open Group,

I mean, they do until they don't. They eventually retired 16 bit subsystem, and they are gungho on TPM now. They have always had EOL dates for old OS's too. I'm not entirely sure why they do what they do, I suspect they are too large and unwieldy to operate as an entity with a unified vision.

Holy crap, that's the exact post I was talking about! Nice!

There's command line options that work with BSD or GNU but don't work with MacOS. Here's one example I had to fix a while back: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/1984

Nah, I think it's neat as well. Lemmy would be more boring if no user had idiosyncrasies.
Hell, I've even tagged you with "CC BY-NC-SA 4.0" in my Lemmy client - which means I will confront you if you ever stop doing it.

Humans are great apes. All great apes and lesser apes are apes. Not that it matters in the chain if you read it.

doesnt a free and open source operating system fit "actively attentive to important societal facts and issues" aka not having control of your machine
