Known liberal Linus Torvalds engages in liberal behavior
I’m also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them.
Everyone Who Disagrees With Me is a Russian Bot is the perfect unfalsifiable truth for these libs.
Wow, the Phoronix comments are actually pretty good? That’s unexpected but nice to see
Anyway Linus seriously posted a huge L here.
Compliance
COMPLY
they always say ‘because of connections to Russia’ and never ‘because they were Russian’
I don’t even get it, why have a smoke show when we all know exactly what you want to say
It’ so liberals can lie to themselves easier when they do this shit.
My question is how much of this is needing to comply with sanctions and how much of this is Linus being a russophobic ass
Hes from finland so Im sure its at least 90% russophobia at minimum.
Moved to the US like 30 years ago so it’s a 3x russophobia multiplier
Which makes me think he would have pulled the trigger earlier
Oh fuck the lemmy.ml thread is full of scratched liberals screaming about Russia bad and Russians bad and this is good actually. .world and .shitworks continue to be a mistake.
There are two of them (the other). The one posted by a lemmygrad user has less librained comments (probably because the lib instances blocked lemmygrad a long time ago).
I’ve hated Torvalds ever since I experienced Git. Now I feel vindicated
Mercurial fan?
I just remember getting impenetrable error messages. Git is so goddamn confusing
What’s his email? torvalds@osdl.org fails for me
I don’t care if it’s pointless I already wrote a rant out and I’m damn well sending it as soon as I find an address to use.
He uses torvalds@linux-foundation.org to commit to github
Cheers. Told him his rhetoric about russians all being from a troll farm is indistinguishable to IDF rhetoric that Palestinians are all Hamas, among other things I had a rant about.
Please post the whole thing here 🙏
Hexbear must never see my 3am writing angry emails level of unhinged
–
but seriously it’s mundane, mostly just trying to push the “i’m disappointed” buttons, calling him racist, comparing it to the IDF’s rhetoric and appealing to ego by comparing the moment to the same turning point people had on musk
littered it with “mate” and “bruv” even though I rarely talk like that because he needs to know i’m authentically british or else he’ll dismiss me as a russian too, innit
Pretty please 🥺
“Russian troll factories”
Linus, no!
It sounds to me like he may have been approached by somebody or gotten a legal notice and then enthusiastically complied with it. Either way not surprised to see Linus say dumb shit, he’s been doing it for decades.
jfc its sad to see that the nato brainworms have fully consumed Torvalds
Highly skilled coder being a reddit lib or crypto fascist should be assumed
The funny linux man is a chud…it’s like liberal me learning the truth about Elon Musk all over again.
Imperial Germany bailing out the Finnish white army was terrible
I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.
Imagine if the rest of Europe was as revanchist about each other as Finland is to Russia
They fought one short border war in the lead up to WW2, but to hear the Finns talk about it they make it seem like Russia was personally massacring every single civilian they could for fun on their way to burn down Helsinki
Imagine if France still held out a deep mistrust and hatred of the Germans for two world wars, or the Belgians for the Franco-Flemish war. One war a century ago and Finland can’t get the fuck over it
That’s because Europeans actually love fascism, and will never forgive the USSR for saving them from it. In their eyes, the only thing Nazi Germany did wrong was do to Europe what Europe was doing to the rest of the world.
Ok maybe not all Europeans, but that ship sailed when the SPD sent the freikorps to kill Rosa and Karl.
The Finns never got over the Battle of Neva
There are lots of boomers that are also very mad about Finlandisation. In their view, the big bad Soviet Union unfairly leaned on smol bean Finland to take a diplomatically neutral position during the Cold War when they just wanted America-senpai to notice them
