What a ridiculous comment. Here's a small sample of Torvalds being an ass.

https://github.com/corollari/linusrants/blob/master/table.md

Someone who doesnt see a problem with this is probably one of those toxic people who dont realize they're toxic you mentioned. Nobody wants to be treated how Torvalds treated people.

Also, coming from an orchestral background, I'm well aware of situations where the leader needs to be gruff. A gentle conductor will never get the idiot violists playing in tune. (A harsh one won't either, but at least the violists will be too scared to make any noise.) That said, it's still unacceptable for a conductor to cross the line from gruff to personal attacks.

You should have high standards.

Torvalds often crosses that line into outright toxicity. I've written a few kernel patches that I never tried to upstream for that reason.

Now, any developer can match my output easily.

No they can't. They can get a clanker to crap out code at a pace that matches or beats yours, but I assume your code is better, and know that you have a better understanding of your code than the clanker user has of the clanker code.

There's a future front page post waiting for whoever uses one to host their blog. I believe modem attachments existed.

Bonus points if they also developed the blog on a MegaDrive.

It's not even an anti-Russian statement!

I wouldn't get bent out of shape if Xsnow showed me a Canadian/Greenlandic flag in response to me using en-us.

Knoppix 22 days ago

If you like Knoppix, Slitaz is also worth checking out. I think slitaz has more updated release at the moment.

Not really.

Few years ago, I replied to a comment asking if a crime in a news story was punishable by death. I replied that yes, the law allowed the death penalty and linked the law in the state where the crime happened. (I also added a parenthetical that I oppose the death penalty.)

I got a two week ban for inciting violence.

I imagine some automod type of tool flagged my comment, no human could have been stupid enough to think I was inciting violence.

I asked a clanker about symptoms I was having. (I'm not an idiot, I was already on my way to hospital, clanker was just to take my mind off symptoms during the drive.)

The clanker said I'd be fine, I just needed some rest and OTC meds.

The medical staff immediately turfed me to surgery because the same set of symptoms I told the clanker were enough to concern them that I needed emergency surgery.

Had I have listened to the clanker, I'd be dead because I did need emergency surgery. (Hell, I almost kicked the bucket because I waited for someone to wake up to give me a lift because.my insurance probably doesnt cover an ambulance ride.)

My small city was safer before flock.

Before, if the cops asked for witnesses to come forward, they always got someone because they had a good reputation and were trusted.

A few years of the people saying no to flock and the cops and city hall ignoring us has destroyed that trust.

Now, when the cops ask for help, they get told to go flock themselves.

I'd suggest a better way is to reform policing. They need to start working for all the people, not just the Epstein class.

I want to say replacing a legislative body with AI is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard. But...

AI is soulless, skeevy, moronic, incompetent, and owned by the pedophilic ruling class, which makes it indistinguishable from Congress.

If tokens are cheaper than current congressional salaries, I say fuck it, why not?
