A couple people didn’t quite understand my parody post referring to an off-the-cuff remark by Federico nine years ago. I happened to come across it just mindlessly browsing it the other day, and thought it would be funny to suggest that the GNOME and Novell folk have been cooking up this idea to sell out the Linux community since 1998.
The other posts actually do hit on the point that this community split is dumb and that we should give credit to Microsoft where it’s truly due. And sure, I agree with all of this.
But in reading those posts, one is from a new member of the GNOME community and the other is from a KDE guy who reads Planet GNOME. I know what you’re thinking: why aren’t these people digging up and memorizing my life story? But some people are just lazy these days. So I added an “about me” page to my blog, to hopefully give my bad jokes more context in the future.
