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.

For the average lad does this mean much? Id say it's still 1000x better than pedo gates and greedy jobs

Probably not. He's a M$ shill. I just came across that and thought I'd share.

Shill is correct. His comments reminds me of the M$ "Office X" which was a bunch of characters who demeaned any software which was developed as a possible contender to "Windows". The old Usenet forums on OS/2, BeOS, and Linux were filled with their assholery during the 1990's and early 2000's. Finally in 2002 one their shills doxxed that cabal and revealed M$ had launched a lengthy broad-banded program of defamation of ANY competing software.
