The Linux Foundation apparently thinks you can look at a snippet to tell if it's stolen

The Linux Foundation apparently thinks you can look at a snippet real hard for a minute or so, and you'll magically figure out if it's stolen or plagiarized from somewhere. Otherwise, I don't understand how their policy would possibly work. It's not like they're linking some sort of plagiarism checker, and as far as I know, those aren't reliable anyway.

Does somebody understand how that's meant to work? I'm curious. If I'm judging them too harshly here, I would like to know.

Simple solution: don't use ai...

If you use the plagiarism machine, you're to blame for the results...

Sadly, the Linux Foundation seems to think differently. I've actually tried to email them about it, but with no answer. I hoped that when more people see the mastodon or lemmy posts, more people might email them about it.

Alas, the Linux Foundation is overrun by corporate shills who platform Big Tech greed and ignore harm. Ethically, they have little credibility. 😕

Its so insane considering Linux and FLOSS is supposed to take power away from big tech. Its just so hypocritical.

Just to clarify, is this Linux foundation in charge of the kernel? I'm not sure how the chain of command goes over there.

The Linux Foundation organizes most of the kernel developer events, I believe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Foundation#Community_stewardship If any org has influence of the kernel developers at all, it's probably the Linux Foundation.
