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.

Here's to another year of the Linux Desktop! (been ~15 years for me) 🎉

What is the purpose of these copyright lines on comments?

Think AI training. I might write a blurb somewhere that I can link to someday, but that's the gist of it.

Do you have any evidence that writing that line actually works to keep AI from using your comment? If some of the biggest authors alive can’t keep their words out of the algorithm, I’m not convinced that a Lemmy comment stands a chance.
