    Bitwise OR applies the logic to the individual bits in the underlying data. Think about how you would add two large numbers by hand. Write one number above the other and add at each position. Bitwise or is like that, except you OR the two bits in each position instead of adding them.

Linux needs a governance structure with checks and balances even if it means slower decision making; it’s too important to let fall into the wrong hands.
