It might be a referral to either Microsoft Linux [1] or is ACS [2]
(partly) based on debian?

Well, I got a life-threat email into my INBOX for removing support for
sqlite (2.x, the one old obsolete version) from PHP[*].

Not everything on the Internet does have to make sense :).

(* - Not to mention that some would argue that packaging PHP is a
life-threat on it's own :))).

Well, they did give away the cake for one reason, to celebrate Debian's
birthday. No idea why this could be bad though.

The cake reference makes me think of Microsoft's presence at LinuxFest 
Northwest last year in Bellingham, WA. MS had a booth there touting their 
Azure service and giving out blue cake. Possibly they have given away 
cake at other venues as well- I understand they can afford a lot of cake.

When I saw them again at LinuxCon they seemed to have run out, but 
luckily the Sheraton had the cake situation covered.

But they don't need all that many chests if the supply of cakes is
a lazy one - they only need as many as required to meet the current
demand.  There, problem solved.

G'luck,

Well, they did buy Minecraft a while back, so at this point I would hope
that they have the supplies for infinite cake.  That doesn't mean that
they actually *have* infinite cake, since the auto-crafting requires a
mod, but maybe they wrote an in-house mod (since I can't imagine they'd
use the Internet ones).

Hm, although, without auto-crafting, they probably don't have enough
chests to store the infinite cake supplies.

My guess was that this was a reference to the availability of Debian images
for Microsoft Azure.

Anyone have any idea what this is referring to?  I think the original
poster has a whole bunch of misinformation (and I'm sorry that they had a
bad experience with jessie), but I have no idea what this specific point
could even mean.

that they hawe so manny backdoors in windows 10 that can hackers use to get
to our private stuff?Did you know that they spying ower web cameras and
listening ewery single word that users say?did you know that they hawe full
control of our pc? No no no!I tought that linux is safe world but if i want
os to bee MY customized os without spying and full controll of my own pc i
