FLOSS Weekly Episode 792: Rust Coreutils

This week Jonathan Bennett and Jeff Massie chat with Sylvestre Ledru about the Rust Coreutils! Why would we want to re-implement 50 year old utilities, what’s the benefit of doing them in Rus…

So it ended up that all cool history to have #rust into the #Linux kernel to improve security and yada yada... It was just the another excuse to erase the #GPL from the #GNU #coreutils and therefore removing the world GNU from Linux and settling up, once and forever, the eternal dilemma about Linxu vs GNU/Linux.

Congratulation folks, the creativity and the effort you put to deceive users to and to obliterate the GNU components in everything related with #opensource is unprecedented! 👏👏👏

ln is part of #gnu #coreutils and #unix OSes have that too, so this title is misleading. Then again, this is #ibm #redhat (which loves revisionism) https://opensource.com/article/21/11/update-linux-file-system-link

How to update a Linux symlink

UNIX and Linux users find many uses for links, particularly symbolic links. One way that I like to use symbolic links is to manage configuration backups of various IT equipment.
