Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project. Here's the file they don't want you to read: web.archive.org/web/20260402… p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). "Technology is apolitical" bros can bite me.

Low key though and I hope nobody on hexbear dot net sees me tell you this. Running Fedora on your computer at home doesn't really provide any support to red hat the company and its government and military shit. It is also unlikely that they are overtly backdooring their distro specifically (its more likely/true to say that they have helped backdoor almost all distros via systemd.)

Of course not, the backdoor is on NSA developed SELinux /s

I didn't post this to tell people to switch from Fedora, just that it's monstrous behavior by the parent company. Of course they use Fedora as their downstream beta testing of features but that's a different conversation.
