Thank you for showing the difference between the magical land of the internet and the real world.

If people following those books could stop trying to impose their stupid beliefs on others, that'd be great... You don't see anyone burning Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist texts, do you? Well, I mean, except for when we see Muslims destroying historical and archaeological sites of these and other religions because they're not their religion...
because it goes against lemmy.ml ToS of no homophobia, no sexism, etc
I said American because of stuff like the Patriotic Act and crap like that :P
but would you over Brave or unGoogled Chromium?
Yep, they are afraid of violent fundamentalists but also of liberals trying to cancel them...
I wanted to test this DuckDuckGo browser and had to create firewall exceptions to improving.duckduckgo.com and staticcdn.duckduckgo.com just to be able to install it... I already had it blocked because sometimes I use duck.ai and the connection to those domains serves no purpose to the service, and I had already opt-out of the "anonymized" telemetry, so I don't know why I was still connecting to improving.duckduckgo.com... off to a bad start.
The sad thing about the Fediverse is that I'd get more answers about it on X and Reddit
I read it once and couldn't find the post again, but I managed to find some stuff:
The kernel hack was in 2003:

There is no official communication between the NSA and Linus Torvalds. In 2013 when he was asked about a Linux backdoor for the NSA and said no while shaking his head yes, it's officially considered just a joke

Later that year his father mentioned it again... is it an official hearing? It seems like they are also questioning people from Microsoft, but I didn't find info on that:

In 2022 a lot of information about Bvp47 came to light, a Linux backdoor NSA was using for more than 10 years - I didn't find any info about this exploit being possibly because of systemd or not.

Red Hat introduced systemd in 2010. My info about it being a subsidiary of a Big Tech was incorrect and I removed from my original message. It was only bought by IBM in 2018.
I had a page I recommended some niche movies, comics, etc, I wanted to move it to Mastodon, but just mentioning the name, year, creator/director/writer/co-creator/etc, what it's based on, a short summary and commentary where I try to be very succinct, it's already over 500 characters... it's worse if I try to quote something from it... the future is for those that can only read headlines.
From what I heard, people hate systemd because Linus Torvald was approached by the NSA to create a backdoor on Linux, he said it wouldn't be possible to change the kernel because there were too many eyes on it, there was a mysterious hack of kernel.org introduced a mysterious code but it was spotted and removed... well, what was the only other thing common to all Linux? The sysv-init, but it was too small, too tight, too specific for them to create a backdoor there, they needed something big, bloated, doing way more than it should do, like it was just supposed to start the system but it can also do unrelated stuff like handling DNS, and an American company shows up bringing systemd, that solved all the problems the NSA had to create a backdoor on Linux, and all distros jumped into the honeypot :)
Yeah, the real reason is that the followers of these books want to push their beliefs onto others, turn them into laws, and ignoring them won't make them go away. In every place where the followers of these books became the majority, the minorities are extremely repressed. The last time we were entirely ruled by those books, it was known as the Dark Ages, but there are several other countries currently living in their own Dark Ages because of the same desert trilogy. That book literally says its followers should kill me and others just because of the way they were born, so fuck it, it deserves no respect from anyone, it has nothing to do with race, it's 100% religion.
