Is this really still a thing?? I figured people would have grown up by now.
https://www.zdnet.com/article/lennart-poetterings-linus-torvalds-rant/ https://plus.google.com/+LennartPoetteringTheOneAndOnly/posts/J2TZrTvu7vd Lennart Poettering built an entire community for one reason, and one reason only - To Destroy Linus. He is quite clearly upset and is using social media to discredit not just Linus, but the entire Linux kernel community. Read up on the people who are against Linus' behavior. Here's a fun link, it even has a screenshot of a Tweet! I wonder if this is really how it went down.... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/05/torvalds_sievers_dust_up/ As for me... I'm siding with the guy who has a history of building solid, reliable software. Not the jackass that prints USB driver messages to TTY1. Have any of you tried to drop to command line on a recent Ubuntu system? Plug in a USB stick and you get dmesg logs in your face. No wonder Linus is so god damn pissed. These kids that are so upset that they can't be bothered to hold the shift key when they type the letter "i". I have shit to do. I can't be having my software randomly up and change every time one of your ideas 'crystalizes'. And if you don't like the fact that I'm not opening my arms and professing my undying love for every random ass idea you have, I have 3 words for you: Tough. Fucking. Nuggets. </rant> On Mon, Sep 17, 2018 at 3:31 PM Rich Shepard <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, 17 Sep 2018, Dick Steffens wrote: > > > I knew about occasional "put down" kinds of remarks, but didn't know it > was > > this intense: > > > > > https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/index.ssf/2018/09/linux_creator_linus_torvalds_t.html#incart_river_index > > That Linus recognized and publicly acknowledged his lack of empathy and > understanding of others is a great step forward and better now than never. > > I see lower intensity "put down" messages on technical mail lists from > subscribers who use that software package daily in their careers and appear > to denigrate others who don't have their level of familiarity and > competence.
