Linux Kernel 'Leaked' by Linus on GitHub

Description

A dark-mode screenshot of an X post from verified account forloop (@forloopcodes) with a Follow button. The tweet, in all-caps panic, reads 'LINUX KERNEL SOURCE CODE LEAKED!!!' then claims 'this guy named linus torvalds just reverse engineered linux source code and leaked it on github, all computer systems running on linux are vulnurable,' cites 'billions of lines of code, 1.5 million commits, 240k stars,' and advises 'all linux users are suggested to switch to windows as soon as possible.' Below is a GitHub UI capture of the public torvalds/linux repo: master branch, 939 tags, ~1.46 million commits, 240k stars, 63.5k forks, folders such as arch, drivers, fs, kernel, and rust-fixes merge tags. The joke is that the kernel has always been open source, so treating git clone as a catastrophic leak—and Windows as the patch—is the punchline.
