So, Microsoft saved everyone from the bad Linux then?
/s
Linux saved itself.
- having FOSS code
- being able to silence all system services to detect that bump
- being able to run stuff in different ways, without a core system component (with and without systemd, as that backdoor only used data when sshd was started via systemd)
- having people be perfectionist about performance measurements
- having devs test upstream code not shipped to normal distros
Possibly linuxYeah no Microsoft saved it
EntropywinsA nerd who was benchmarking their ssh connection saved it...I love everything about that fello
They wanted to get a benchmark environment as silent as possible, connected over ssh and it didnt get silent
Also, the man has said repeatedly on hackernews that he’s a postgresql developer working at microsoft. I imagine that distinction is important.
And if he was a postgresql dev working on linux but employed by the cheesecake factory it would mean that the cheesecake factory saved linux? or was that rather due to that clever dev, and helped by the platform he worked on?
but if cheesecake factory hired him and supported him to make this discovery, you would look at the menu differently.
P03 LockeWTF is this whole thread?

bruhduhNo matter how much you wouldn’t like it, there’s fallacy in your statement, either that singular individual singlehandedly saved everyone without community and such, or Linux was saved by everyone, Microsoft included, i mean, going to such lengths in mental gymnastics just to exclude some corporation, albeit evil one, is funny i must say, in my opinion it’s either singular individual, or everyone included, no need to specifically exclude someone just because they evil or something
