It all started because he was shitting on the NY Times for being an ad-ridden mess where you have to call a human in order to cancel your subscription. Someone called NY Times woke communist propaganda and Linus went nerd rage on them.

I just learned Linus torvalds has the correct political opinions
So this motherfucker might be the most remarkable man on the planet
I love that man. I dread the day he steps down, and I dearly hope whoever he appoints as his successor is as good as he is.

The whole thing doesn’t depend on him it’s just that he’s the benevolent dictator for life (BDFL) of the Linux kernel and everyone pulls from his git tree. Linus just reviews and approves patchsets sent to the kernel to his tree and people trust his judgement.
There should really be corresponding kernels besides Linux but so much of the development and hardware bring up is focused on the Linux kernel.

I was under the impression he was still doing most of the active programming work on the kernel himself
this hasn’t been the case in two or three decades
This is true. But he’s still a good programmer, he does understand the code that he’s approving or rejecting. He’s not some techbro jagoff.
Sure I wasn’t saying otherwise, it’s just that the triumph of Linux is in its community, not Linus. It’s never been just him, which is the sentiment that produced the RMS soundclip meme of ‘GNU-slash-linux’.
when he’s gone, linux is gonna be so boned
With this comment, I can finally forgive him for Git
The SVN enjoyer has logged on 🤡
this shouldn’t have made me belly laugh, but it just did 😭
Yeah. It filled me with joy when I found out.
OK, fine, you’ve convinced me. I’ll watch his Tech Tips show.
At risk of exposing my inability to read a joke: wrong Linus
not to be controversial, but i also absolutely cannot stand that linus.
Linus was always a better face for Linux anyway. We can collectively do without creepy toenail eating guy.
Libertarians stay losing, woke communism ftw.
Could be worse than RMS. Could be ESR.
I’m glad I don’t know who the fuck that is

More like we ran out of luck due to the failing US medical system, he was a piece of shit but he didn’t deserve to get fucked over with his mental health like that.
yeah, the craziest thing about Terry Davis is that in a better world where he could’ve gotten the treatment and support he needed, he could’ve easily been in the forefront of technological progress. mf casually wrote an operating system from the ground up with just-in-time compiled C as the shell.

Software should be free as in foot cheese.
could be worse… could be free as in smegma
There is a clip of Richard Stallman where it looks like he picks something off his foot and eats it.
“I dont want to see neurodivergent people in important positions, because they’re weird”
Every fucking time RMS gets mentioned, the ableists go mask off.
Uh, I’m neurodivergent. He’s not weird because he’s neurodivergent. He’s weird because of his opinions on pedophilia.
Based based based
Linus and excoriating dumb asses. One of the best duos.
Hell, he doesn’t even have look for it, it finds him. Geez.
We’re all woke communist propagandists on this blessed day
One of us
One of us
One of us
Linus for the win!
Typical Linus W
Linus is our Notch.
He’s the goat.
Linus didn’t sell out though and become a neo-nazi billionaire. He’s a woke communist through and through!
Is he an actual communist or just a woke communist?
Most nerds his generation are mostly libertarians if they didn’t go the silicon valley elon techbro alt right pipeline. RMS was a libertarian and had a lot of brainworms.
If you asked them he’d probably say he’s a demsoc judging from his reaction and that he’s finnish
I’m old enough to remember that before techbros, techbrothers like Linus used to be way more common
techbrother from another motherboard
spoiler
i’ll show myself out

Damn, if you tell me that he’s against genocide next, then he’s a tanky confirmed!
Go off king
