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.

Yeah, I have a deep seated fear for the future of GitHub in the long run. Seems too ripe for eventual enshitification.
Well, this seems inevitable. But on the other hand, Github is really unique in the business and labor market too.
Now if you can enshittify Github in a way that doesn't fuck with how important people use it too much, it will be after changes to how the tech hiring environment works - worldwide.
