I'm saying their hardcore anti-dynamic linking stance is hypocritical in this context because there are more linux kernel vulnerabilities than there are dynamic linker vulnerabilities.It's also probably easier to fix vulnerabilities in the dynamic linker than to fix vulnerabilities in the kernel.
the fact that GNU can't make a usable kernel says more about GNU than it does about kernelsNot really, even Apple can't make their own kernel from scratch (OS X and iOS are both built on top of BSD). And the Windows kernel is an antique piece of junk that's only survived into the modern era by piling layer upon layer of abstractions on top of it to keep it usable.
keep in mind that Linus made more progress in half a year than GNU did during the whole 80sYes, because he's one of the few people that can actually make a kernel. Most people just don't have that ability.
Yes, because he's one of the few people that can actually make a kernel.http://forum.osdev.org/ Thousands of people making their own kernels and OSes.
Intel’s x86 processor market share was 87.7 percent the fourth quarter of 2015, growing from 86.3 percent a year earlier. AMD held just a 12.1 percent share, falling from 13.6 percent, according to Mercury Research.
Nothing is stopping ARM producers from installing backdoors into their chipsPics or it doesn't exist
It is extremely unlikely that any post-2013 AMD hardware will ever be supported in libreboot, due to severe security and freedom issues; so severe, that the libreboot project recommends avoiding all modern AMD hardware. If you have an AMD based system affected by the problems described below, then you should get rid of it as soon as possible.

If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.
