Linus is sorry for being a jerk.

He's going to get help to work on his "empathy" skills. I love the guy, personally. EFF YOU NVIDIA! That put a fire under nVidia's ass and things are better now, unless I'm mistaken.

Anyway, here it is...

I'm crying, he is flipping hysterical.

@ohnonot, you know what to do.

Döbbie03 · 2018-09-18 06:15:28

Linus is a legend and he is probably a perfectionist. I get his mindset ...

brontosaurusrex · 2018-09-18 06:52:43

Why not just blame the parents like everyone else? He could just take some lines from kernel changelog, for example:

Iterate over parent nodes for finding quirks

DeepDayze · 2018-09-18 18:23:51

Linus is the "guardian" of Linux and he wants it to continue to grow and and be the code that powers mission critical systems. When he has a problem with some piece of code submitted he makes it crystal clear why it's unacceptable. It's his way to criticize bad code yet he will be happy with well written code.

In one word: Perfectionism.

MAC the Bloody · 2018-09-18 19:38:54

I'd be willing to bet that with zero feelings or hugs being exchanged Linus and Theo would get along just fine.

Perfectionists. Nothing wrong with that and people need to stop whining.

The slave/master outrage is truly WTF material.

code of conduct? blergh, i've hated these ever since i realised that google & ubuntu use them to exploit volunteers.

oh and just in case you were wondering:

This is not some kind of "I'm burnt out, I need to just go away"
break. I'm not feeling like I don't want to continue maintaining
Linux. Quite the reverse. I very much do want to continue to do
this project that I've been working on for almost three decades.
This is more like the time I got out of kernel development for a while
because I needed to write a little tool called "git". I need to take
a break to get help on how to behave differently and fix some issues
in my tooling and workflow.

indeed.
i will gladly make an exception for this hysterical historical moment.
i will fix the typo, and maybe add the next sentence also:

Maybe I can get an email filter in place so at when I send email with curse-words, they just won't go out.
Because hey, I'm a big believer in tools, and at least some problems going forward might be improved with simple automation.

@nobody, you're probably right, too.
contact him and tell him that.
i'm not joking.
he might be loosing touch because linux is just growing and growing, mainstream interest, big money, etc.

inb4 they rename it to the Hallmark Channel Kernel.

Meh... at least we still have Theo.

We could refer to Linus as "The Good Witch". I mean, he's no Catherine Bell, but still...

Lol. Will we see a kinder gentler reboot of Linus? Maybe!

oh, but the world has moved on since i averted my eyes frome these CoCs!
keywords: SJW, that unspeakable community of everything that's not clearly male or female heterosexual... suddenly they claim to own FOSS? Calling in "Post-meritocracy"?
(commits from members of minorities will be prioritised from now on, if they had their way)

and there's one person in particular that i learned to hate after a long afternoon reading reddit & clicking links:
https://mobile.twitter.com/CoralineAda/ … 9746643968
https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941
and lastly
https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ve … nduct.html
and of course endless r/linuxmasterrace and r/linux threads.

Döbbie03 · 2018-09-22 19:55:04

Can someone tell me what a SJW is please?

hhh · 2018-09-22 21:10:26

Social Justice Warrior.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice_warrior

slave/master is insulting to a micro-aggression against those whose ancestors were enslaved and/or those who practice bondage. You've invaded my safe-space! REEEEEE!!!!!

Ah those. The "your opinion doesn't agree with mine so I shall label you something you are not" people. Or the "Hurt Feelings Brigade" as I like to call them in places I can't swear.

hhh · 2018-09-22 21:16:12

That'd be them. The highest ranking members are black female transgender Jewish paraplegic furries.
