This is pretty much my stance.

A whole lot of what the right gets uppity about is none of falls strictly in the 'none of their fucking business' category

A common dog whistle for the right is individual rights and freedoms... Yet they get hung up on things like trans rights which are checks notes individual rights and freedoms

Love to see it. Not shocked, though.

For an opposite example, the creator of a niche programming language that is the only one I'm interested in (it's really great, and I haven't seen anything that comes close to fitting the same place) said something at-very-least stupid which was the final straw that caused a core developer (nearly co-creator? created the package manager+installer, wrote a book) to quit. And it already had a low bus-factor.

I remember having a conversation with my conservative boss. He said something stupid about not understanding pronouns and the look on his face when I told him it didn't matter because the pronouns aren't for him. If he can't take a few minutes to understand why someone uses a specific pronoun, it's better that he just excuses himself from it. He just couldn't understand why I would exclude him in that way. Like fuck you dude, you bring it up, get upset when you can't understand and then think it's all about you. Fuck off.

I want to see Linus and Stallman fight

huh... i have no idea who that other person is but linus being this based is nice

If you're wondering how to follow him: https://social.kernel.org/torvalds

Best Linus.

Torvalds isn't always right, but he's wrong much less often than not.

I knew there was a reason besides Linux that made me love Linus.

What a fuckin legend

Nicely done, very based indeed.

Beautiful

Bea-fucking-utifully said.

This is pure gold

I need to be able to upvote more than once!

Hey I was one of those boosts!

DAMN

Isn't this the "woke communist" that runs his company in a shitty way? Overworks employees and stuff? I'm not familiar with the drama is just weird not seeing anything about that in the comments

In another life, I delivered a package to Linus and he answered the door in a bathrobe at 1:30 in the afternoon, just got out of the shower. Nice guy.
