He creates something, lets it grow and sets it free, Linux is pretty much everywhere and GitHub was recently purchased by Microslop, sorry Microsoft (keeps autocorrecting) and he has no intention to hold anything just for himself, he likes creating "campfires" around which like-minded people can gather and share ideas to oversimplify it.

Github =/= Git, if that was what you were trying to indicate.

and the kernel repo on github is a mirror, for those who don't know

I thought they bought GitHub ages ago?

Depends on the beholder's POV I guess; but yeah, even to a middle-aged fart like me 2018 is not "recent" anymore.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 22 points 2 weeks ago

GitHub was founded in 2008 so nearly half its life it has been owned my MS. Yeah, "recent" doesn't feel like a good fit here.

Yes, vice versa even to a young bird like me 2018 was just yesterday and the acquisition by Microsoft feels even more recent.
