[β] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Because shitting on other people, belittling them, attacking them personally, and being verbally abusive isn't? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] UID_Zero@infosec.pub 13 points 2 years ago This was from a while ago. I believe Linus took some time away to try and work on his interpersonal skills. I haven't seen anything since his hiatus, but hopefully he's less abusive and more constructive in his messages now. permalink fedilink source parent [+] WoodlandAlliance@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yep.

He just used it here with angry intent and he should've removed it. And not change for non-sweary anger, if that isn't clear permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] StorminNorman@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* Nah, I say he could've kept the swearing if he changed the intent. Maybe it's my Australian slipping out, but they're just words. They can't hurt you. The intention sure as hell can, and I've seen way more vicious things written without swearing. And agreed, it's just an arsehole-ish rant in general, regardless of whether he swore or not. permalink fedilink source parent
