Yup, sheer incompetence rather than malice is my guess. Meta has nothing to gain by promoting windows.

Are there really that many Linux users discussing on Facebook? My brothers in Open Source, there are much better places even without this ban…

Of course, its just an open source LLM that you can run on open source software like Ollama or LoLLMS

Facebook itself runs on Linux. There's a 0% chance it runs on Windows Server.

Okay that gave me a hearty chuckle, thank you.

My initial instinct is that it's not about security (obviously), but the beginning of the attack of FOSS, since China dunked on everyone with their AI model, that can now be used by anyone freely (with the appropriate resources) rather than the ever-growing product making you pay for their useless snake oil.

I think we're about to see FOSS under siege by the technocrats, and it's going to be depressingly effective since most people have no idea why it's so fundamentally important to the world of tech.

This is the first shot
Even though almost every big tech company uses Linux on the backend they don't want you to use it.
Think of Peacock not letting people running Linux be able to use their application.
It's free and open source, and the powers to be don't want anybody to have that.
You can do what you want with it if you are willing to learn about it. Governments don't like that.
I may be wrong, but I see more of this coming.

For the record, not everyone thinks ethics in licensing is a bad idea.

How many reasons do they have to give you before you walk away from facebook?

I don't use facebook, but I'm seeing Linux brought up way more among the consumer tech-crowd.
Looks like they all want to fit in with each other by resisting "windows surveillance."
Personally, I think it's pretty stupid where they decide to draw the line, almost like they're not even making the decision for themselves. But I'll still accept it if it causes more people to drop proprietary software.

I suspect they just know their model is shitter than the other corporate ones, and want to reap the benefits of the FOSS community hacking it

You're definitely onto something. This isn't the first time corporations have targeted FOSS, but because Linux is gaining in popularity we're starting to see the old FUD and EEE tactics come back into play.

The powers that be know the threat free software is to their control.
Richard Stallman was right when he said "free software, free society."
