Red Hat has just dropped its Free Software Foundation funding and

Now that Red Hat is pretty well owned by IBM, wouldn't you like to ask
all those people, how far back in IBM's own history of misdeeds;
notwithstanding rumors, innuendo and just plain gossip; the rest of us
should look when judging the actions of others.
I sure would.

Stallman was outspoken about surveillance capitalisim and WSL. Those
are big cages to rattle with one tiny tin cup.
Just in case you don't think an NGO is capable of such insider
machinations. I highly recommend the following book which has a pretty
good evaluation of how the powers that be; leveraged trends, NGO
(charity) connections and industry (read IBM) influences which gave
Bill Gates his silver spoon running head start with MS DOS.

Don't even get me started on WSL as an organized plan to disrupt linux
freedom.
Engage Encompass and Eradicate are proven techniques of imperialism
and capitalisim.
I think Red Hats "Woke Spoke" is Broke on this one, but with all that
IBM money behind them, they will break this one guy out of the big
picture, just because they can.

I may just be thick but I don't see what any of the above has to do with
Surveillance Capitalism.
Or at least my understanding of Surveillance Capitalism that can be
described by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism
And for the life of me I can't see what any of this has to do with
