From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No statement is still a Statement... They just say that they don't care enough, which is quite sad regarding the topic
It's not, I think it's wise of them to reject the controversy itself. It's a waste of time to pay attention to it or feed into it
I agree that many debates which seems similar are a waist of time, but in this case the hole debate is interwoven with sex traffic and child abuse.
Romeo Juliet law discussion is not pedophilia apologia. Hard conversations need to be done by someone, so they become easy for the ordinary people.
All this mob culture is achieving is anti intellectualism.
No statement can also mean they have nuanced and/or mixed feelings.
The diagram and beat matrix at the bottom of https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002 tell a different story:
To me that's the perfect description of mixed feelings.
