From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fuck me - listen to the people who wrote the studies. They say these shrill articles are wrong. What they found is not what you keep parroting. If you can't engage with that correction, except by calling anyone who disagrees with you stupid, what good are your precious cognitive abilities?
I am also saying these companies are fucked. Do you understand that? Can you not handle when someone only says you're wrong about one specific thing? Nothing I am saying is about profit. You made a claim about how tools affect people's minds, and I am trying to treat you like honestly believe it.
