Mozilla on controversial #WebEnvironmentIntegrity
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852
citing https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/webvision/full/#openness
Standards "aim to avoid assumptions about the underlying hardware or software that might restrict where they can be deployed"
"no single party decides which form-factors, devices, #OperatingSystems, and #browsers may access the #Web"
This helps people "to overcome personal obstacles to access"
"Mechanisms that attempt to restrict these choices are harmful to the openness of the Web"

On the same day, I wiped Windows 98 off my computer, believing that Debian Linux (which I had been using for a while but still kept Windows on another partition) could do everything I had been doing with Windows until then.
Since that day, many installations of Linux, *BSD, MacOS have graced my computers, but Windows has remained, on a few occasions, only an occasional (unwelcome) guest.
In the spirit of a typical support group phrase, I can joyfully say:
'Hello, I'm Stefano, and I haven't been using Windows as my primary operating system for 25 years.'
Please boost and share your experience!

#UNIX vs #Linux: What's the Difference?
UNIX, being proprietary, often required licenses for usage and customization.
While UNIX laid the groundwork for modern #operatingsystems, Linux operates under open-source licenses, most notably the #GNU General Public License (#GPL). This licensing model empowers users to study, modify, and distribute the #sourcecode freely. Linux harnessed the potential of #opensource philosophy to democratize software development

Exploring the internals of Linux v0.01 | Seiya Nuta https://seiya.me/blog/reading-linux-v0.01
«Linux kernel is often mentioned as a overwhelmingly large open source software. […] However, the first version of Linux, v0.01 was pretty small. It consisted of only 10,239 lines of code. Excluding comments and blank lines, it was only 8,670 lines. It's small enough to understand and is a good starting point to learn about the internals of UNIX-like operating system kernels».

A fun little read about some #Linux version 0.01 internals. As the author notes, at 8 kloc, the kernel is quite approachable.
