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

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

Kind of a sad state of affairs for us all, that wanting to license your own content would be considered an idiosyncrasy, but I get what you were trying to say.

Well I'm not the first to use it, I learned to use it here from someone else, but open source licensing notoriety is something I can live with.
which means I will confront you if you ever stop doing it.
Honestly it would be me just leaving Lemmy (again) if the harassment gets to be too much. But I'd rather be here than Reddit, even with the lesser moderation that happens here.
I do appreciate your support, thank you.

He can't chudpost every time, but I've listened to him talk with an open mind before and in my opinion his occasional insights are overshadowed by his self-important whinging.

- Code base. It has no relation whatsoever to anything unix. You know the ATT bell labs unix. Unix kernels descend directly from that, Linux doesn't. It was written by this genuine man named Linus lol
- Unix trademark certification that is maintained by the "open group". Linux is not a certified unix, even though it is POSIX compliant.
- POSIX compliance. Linux is POSIX complaint, but that's just how it behaves in terms of APIs and system calls. POSIX complaince doesn't make a system "unix". Linux is not derived from unix at all, its code is its own code, it behaves like unix, but it is not unix. MacOS, BSD and other unix systems are derived from Unix (I know MacOS has taken its own way now, but still, it came from a Unix code base).
Tldr; Linux is not unix because it does not descend from AT&T Unix or BSD and it is not UNIX-certified.

I liked tcsh. It was my favourite shell.

Wow. I thought a couple of his old Linux Sucks talks were kind of funny, but never knew anything about him personally. Kind of sad to learn he's an asshole.
-
yeah right, i thought the macos/ios started with a fork of one of the BSDs, which might get confused with linux
-
Yea, because Apple is allergic to GPL
