But uh.. Linus is kinda rude NGL. Part of his charm no?
No, it's not. It's tolerated because of his importance.
Being the creator of the most successful open source project in history gives you a bit of leeway.
Besides, Linus had a major personality change years ago and has since endeavoured to be a lot more polite to people, and it certainly shows.
~~Spot on. A couple of years ago I wanted him and his channel to be destroyed since he was being such a jerk. Now, not so much. I still don't like him, but he has come a long way in his interactions with people, at least publicly.~~
I'm a moron. Working on not being one much longer.
Channel? I think you may be thinking of the other tech Linus
Or does Torvalds have a channel now
You are absolutely correct. I was talking about LTT. Sorry. I read everything wrong and didnt even open the link.
BDFL privilege...
Cherry picking, but one could argue that rudeness is a lazy general term and Linus' rudeness is about not including BS while NSL wanted the inverse of including something others did to show off. Not an apology for either of those blokes
Big Dick For Life?
BDFL is such a weird concept to stem from the late 20th century.
Ahh, I am familiar with the term, but not the acronym.
Benevolent dictator for life
Hahaha please let this be the official term.
Yeah, a lot of long term projects have rude maintainers it seems.
Tbh if I worked for donations and had entitled users expecting me to continue perfecting a hobby indefinitely ID get pretty burnt out, but racism and targeted harrassment would not be included in rudeness if thats what this maintainer was doing
It's kinda hard not getting jaded when entitled people (or companies) expect commercial grade support for something you work on your free time for pennies or for free, and to top that usually are pretty abusive from the get go.
What GrapheneOS are you talking about? 🤣
