Tanenbaum is right, they obviously could’ve taken the time and money to write an OS themselves if they had to, but they didn’t have to, because a BSD license cuck wrote it for them. Thanks a lot, sucker!
I have no issues with this point.
But what’s up with the CIA “a bunch of n****rs” image above that? WTF?
holy fuck i didn’t even notice the chin text on that glowing emoji
WTF
When i wrote my comment i typed “i know Luke Smith is a bigot” at first, but then toned it down to “controversial” because i haven’t really watched or read a lot of him to know for sure. But that image basically confirmed what I thought I knew about him.
I wouldn’t either had he stopped there (and perhaps been a shade less overtly hostile to someone giving their work away for free). Instead he followed it up with

What the fuck.
This is your brain on racism.
It’s in reference to one of the recurring themes that came up in the blogs and streams of Terry A. Davis, sole developer of TempleOS.
I was half hoping for something like that. I like to believe bigots are a lot less common than their loudness would suggest.
Still terribly problematic and such a niche, ephemeral, reference.
