Dave Plummer aka. Dave's Garage (former Microsoft dev) claims that every Linux distribution comes with a closed source binary blob made by Linus Torvalds himself and thus Linux "has the illusion of transparency". I knew he was a piece of shit.

Here is where the State of WA sued him for his scamware.

Usually I am up to speed with the tech grifters but this fuck slid under my radar.

Exactly. Yeah Dave is a shill and according to the state of Washington, a grifter. He's also fucking annoying to watch and listen to. I have compiled Linux myself and Linux has been open source since day 1 and if Linus Torvalds put something in there it would have been found a long time ago.
