ZStandard is also developed by a Facebook. And its truly amazing. What's wrong with their CRAM development, if everyone benefits from it for free and is Open Source?

    I don't want to have anything to do with facebook, that's why. It's fucking charity washing

    yes yes, it's all AI and IBM so it's made of the same algos that ran the Nazi concentration camps.

    I don't want to RELISH news of them doing more, and I'm not going to kiss their ass because they spent 0.00000000000001% of their earnings on one patch.

    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.

    It's better for a company to do a good thing for the wrong reasons than it is for them to do another wrong thing. I'm not going to change my opinion of Facebook over this, but I also don't think we should avoid benefiting from one of the few good things they're doing with their money.

    Imagine if they were donating money to the feed the poor, and someone was saying we should burn the money instead of buying food, just because Facebook wasn't sincere enough.

    By that logic, elon musk can actively promote nazism, but would deserve a pat on the back if he gave a carrot to a poor person.
