30 Years ago, Linux was released.

What started as a hobby project, a thing that was thought to be "not big", turned out to be one of the greatest software pieces in modern history. Millions of people's lives changed, because of Linux, and Linus!

Happy 30th birthday Linux!

If you want to see an actual death signal about Mozilla, and why we published many stories about it so far, see how Google pays them only $450M per year to be default search engine: https://www.androidheadlines.com/2020/08/mozilla-firefox-google-search

But for Apple's Safari marketshare? That's $15B: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/25/analysts-google-to-pay-apple-15-billion-to-remain-default-safari-search-engine-in-2021/

Shows you how little Google thinks of Firefox as a competitor, and also how little they think of its marketshare and that it doesn't threaten them at all.

YouTube banned "The Linux Experiment" from its platform, a YouTube channel which used to post many great videos and reviews about Linux and open source, for no apparent reason so far.

This is why decentralization is becoming more important day by day, so that no random platform can simply wipe your online existence in a second for no reason.
