  • Damn that was probably very hard to read for Mauro. This is something you never want to receive as Mail in your job. On the other hand it is good that Linux priorities fixing the kernel instead of letting other developers fix your code.

  • I feel like people are overlooking the fact that this is typical early internet behavior lol.

    I get that its the linux kernel mailing list, but I'm pretty sure Linus was way more wild online than in person because that's how public internet forums and IRC used to be like.

    Stallman has also said some equally braindead stuff lol.

  • Damn... we're so lucky to have Linus... I just love him, he's just straight to the point, no bullshit... I love that!

    • Linus doesn't love that, he literally got therapy to not be like that. Maybe there's a lesson there for you.

      In fact, in a more recent talk he mentioned being horrified at the sort of people who liked how he spoke and the way they assumed he shared their political opinions as a significant motivator.

      • I just love people that don't beat around the bush and are straight to the point. We have enough snowflakes and bullshitters in this world IMO. Everyone's so sensitive all the time, like... grow up and own your mistakes. And a wake up call guy like Linus is exactly what people need.
