He is one of the richest people in the world.
The more news about billionaires like this pop up, the easier it will be to argue that maaaaaaaybe we shouldn't be giving them that much power in society.

If that isn't a massive red flag, nothing else is.
Many organizations writing open source stuff are hiring people to work full-time. You might not earn as much as other places, but just because they are non-profits doesn't mean they don't have money or an income.
Well, it's kinda what society forces us to do. There's not exactly much of an alternative to interacting with companies for most things.
Whether it's you livelihood, you home, your car, insurance, whatever
Yes, they're targeted attacks. That's the point. That's what you will be facing when putting Linux in your workplace. The main threat for workplaces will be targeted attacks.
So saying that putting Linux in your workplace because it has no viruses is irresponsible. Or at the very least it's lying by omission.
The text in the post's image literally says "just set it and forget it".
Not for programming
Here you go https://www.cynet.com/ransomware/linux-ransomware-attack-anatomy-examples-and-protection/ literally top of the results from googling "Linux ransomware"
Cybersecurity is all about preventative measures. It's extremely irresponsible to go "yeah, it's fine, nothing bad has happened so far!". But even then that's not quite true, since you yourself have written that your servers are being attacked all the time. And privilege escalation exploits are found all the time.
When you are advocating for putting a system in a workplace, you need to do more due diligence and preparation than what you would for a personal system. Linux can be great for security! But you don't just go "yeah it never gets viruses".
Thinking about security in this manner is how all these companies have their vital data leaked all the time.
Edit: another thing, when you hear about companies hacked and all that, how often do they run Windows, and not Linux? Often that information isn't shared, and so we don't really know. But nearly all web infrastructure runs on linux, including a majority of the cloud. I'm sure a significant part of those hacks are targeted at linux systems.
And again, let me clarify, I'm talking about workplaces, companies, not personal use. Because for personal use I do agree that Linux with the defaults for most distributions is plenty safe.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to keep copyright then. Everything involved would have been owned by you.
That is a big difference to how other generative models work though, which do use other people's work.
Yes, in practice this would be a contract with the artist deciding whether the copyright is transferred or not.
Because by default, if you commission someone to draw something for you, they keep the copyright.
When it comes to workplaces, you can expect people to deliberately craft a virus and/or try that break into your system specifically. A lot of the world runs on linux, a lot of hackers try to break in to this world.
For personal use it may be true enough to be fine in practice, but it's a very dangerous thing to believe for a professional setting with probably expensive equipment and valuable data.
How much more powerful can he be? He'd be more powerful if he was more subtle about stuff and people weren't ready to fight against him.
It's much better to effectively use him as an argument for why billionaires shouldn't exist. Fuel for the fire of change.
