GNU/Linux

1. its retarded, it damages the brand
2. just because you retard wrote gre, rm, ls, bash,... does not give you the naming rights, compiler also does not

I'll continue to call it GNU+Linux.

and I will continue to hate your asperger ass that does not recognize how stupid that name is

license was important for growth, but nigger should all software with gpl license be gnu+<software name>?
same with compiler, android is compiled with GCC, should it and all other software compiled by it be called gnu+<software name>?

of course not...

I am not following and what if gnome is gnu?
unity is not, nor is kde, xfce, cinnamon, lxde, lxqt, i3, ....

you want to argue that gnu linux name is acceptable because gnome exists as one of many DEs?

>>56669073
GNU+Linux is acceptable to whomever deems it acceptable, which is a growing majority. There is no point in arguing.

How'd you call that then?

Linux wins because it's simply a better name. It's easier to say, remember, brand products with, and has a nice image associated with it.

Arguments about seniority or importance or technical accuracy are irrelevant so it doesn't matter if they're correct. Linux is still a better name.

heh, good one

official wikipedia calls it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux_naming_controversy

news media call it linux 99.9999% of time its mentioned

FSF is losing projects, and none of the big new players are joining gnu
stallman dies soon and theres no one in FSF with any respect in community...

gnu will fade out
and the best part is that theres rise of dislike against FSF and stallman that you would not see 5 years ago, people are

Because you're trolling. Or you have autism in which case I'm sorry for mocking the retarded

>>56669247
Autism does not unequivocally imply low intelligence or developmental disorder, colloquially also known as retardation, and it's GNU+Linux.

This truly disgusts me. The term, not the stuff. As if there's some separate network/layer that arbitrarily includes everything that isn't specifically labelled a phone or computer.

>Industry 4.0

>>56670313
shit. that reminded me I still haven't read and listened to RMS talking about copyright, patents and trademarks. The topic's a bit more complex that just learning the difference between free as in freedom, not price.

>>56670361
I don't actually mind cloud as much. It is at least somewhat meaningful. It's a fairly simple metaphor.

Internet of things is particularly retarded because it implies that you would refer to any other subset as the whole, or as if internet is some "tier". Sort of like in the saying "the best thing since sliced bread". OH MAN THIS IS THE INTERNET OF THINGS. No it's a remote control object, or you know, a computer using the internet.

Anything x.x, or Vx though, without any actual parameters, is also utterly rididulous.

>4G instead of LTE

Also somewhat related: marketing fiber optic's best feature as bandwidth/throughput and not ping, when barely anything can even saturate it. I would rather use fiber that caps at 5 than copper that caps at 50
