I don't want to have anything to do with facebook, that's why. It's fucking charity washing
You actually don't, because this is in the Linux Kernel. Fine if you don't want to, just like I don't want to have anything to do with Epic Games. But this is a personal and emotional decision, and I do respect this!
However, charity washing? Is this conspiracy of something? I mean they develop an Open Source software, controlled by the standards of Linux. So from security and privacy standpoint there should be no issue. And I don't see any problem or issue. If someone could explain to me what the problem here is, I might change my opinion (and trust me, I do change my opinion). I just don't see an issue here.
I pulled a word out my ass because I can't be bothered with looking it up all the way for this ambiguous term.
Basically, like "sportswashing" they are trying to cover up/compensate for their horrible behaviour by releasing crumbs like this to gain goodwill. I'm not going to change my opinion on facebook being a piece of shit scourge on humanity just because they put some ram efficiencies in linux.
