“i don’t use woke communist propaganda!”
sent from linux"
Linus is the best kind of jerk.
I’ve never liked him more.
Very well put.
Linus coming out swinging, ya love to see it
*Acided. See how stupid you sound?
what
Edit: ah, acid is the opposite of a base. He’s very acided :3
What paltform is he on?
That’s mastodon
Ha, I never knew he was there. Pity he is no longer active.
Akkoma actually, but same basic thing.
His own blogs no?
I remember when this was forat curculating I found him and his post on mastodon.
I disagree. Evolution would accelerate if everyone had a gun. Also, the kernel has grown out of control. OpenBSD for the win!
That’s not how evolution works.
He’s not gonna sugarcoat it, ever. Hell yeah.
Holy based
This is one of the most heartwarming things I’ve read in weeks. Linus is a treasure.
When was this posted? Or is it not at https://social.kernel.org/torvalds ?
I was able to dig it up:
Thank you. Good find.
Hmm… I can see the thread in mastodon, except for that specific comment. Everything is visible if I visit social.kernel.org in Firefox though.
Thanks.
I found morgthorak (as their post was deleted).
(Offensive Language Warning) https://mk.gabe.rocks/@morgthorak@poa.st
I figured “Is Morg that bad? Maybe Linus is overreacting, or there’s missing context?” Ohhh boy. I can’t even quote their posts without violating Lemmy’s rules, but its openly white supremacist and crudely homophobic.
But it is kinda… morbidly fascinating to peer into that sort of community. I haven’t heard some of those slurs since high school.
Well, that isn’t much worse than most right-wingers. What I call concentration camp fetish (and pedants fuck me over for it) is very popular.
Oh, a user from poa.st. Figures. A year or two ago I spent a while looking at Fediverse block lists and that site was one of those that got frequently blocked/defederated. Because of all of the Nazis, apparently.
(Actually pretty weird that they even attempted to federate with Mastodon in the first place. Most of the Nazi shitholes just install Mastodon without federation, get blocked by the rest of the Fediverse just as a precaution, and then they run out of money and disappear quietly and the admins abscond with the donations and the users pretend nothing ever happened)
I’m getting “Page not found” with those links
Hit the ‘notes’ tab.
Also, this is apparently a bug in lemmy? It splits it out as two links (and the first is correct), but the “back” link is parsed as a user because of the @ symbol I guess.
Thanks
Thanks!
A few years ago.

Wait, you can get an atheist ID card?
American Atheists is an organization that will happily take dues and send you a membership card in return.
I don’t ever see it being helpful in life to register your religion.
In countries that collect church taxes on behalf of the church, it can be necessary to officially de-register your religion to avoid paying taxes to the church.
It’s mostly in death so people put you in the right cemetery.
I would worry more about being rounded up depending on your id and who’s in charge than being put in the right place.
Right? Idgaf what happens to my corpse when I die, I won’t be able to. They can throw it in the dumpster for all I care.
I know that the Satanic Temple has membership cards you can buy. I’m sure there’s probably other organizations out there that do as well.
In some countries, your religion is on your national id. See, for example, Indonesia or Thailand. Greece had it until 2005.
In some of these cases, you could literally have government id that says “Atheist”.
But it is largely a figure of speech. It means you not only identify with a group, but publicly identify with a ground.
In Indonesia, IIRC, being publicly an atheist is technically legal, but will get you killed, and nobody would convict your murderers. Atheists are seen there the way paedophiles are seen elsewhere.
I once had a coworker react to my atheism like that and I was so proud of myself for saying in my second language “what good does your religion bring when you would treat me like that for my beliefs while I treat you well?” It actually seemed to sink in, at least for all of our other (religious) coworkers who were, uh, forming a circle around us.
I used to work with this lady and at first we got along great. Then one day for reasons I cant fathom or remember the subject of the afterlife got brought up during a break period. She was talking to a couple of my coworkers about it. I didn’t say anything because I had nothing to add the the conversation. Then she asked me directly so I told her I didn’t believe in the afterlife.
She was stunned. She was all like “Where do you think you will go when you die?” I said I didn’t think I would go anywhere, I would just cease to exist. She was like “You HAVE to believe you will go somewhere!” I asked “Why?” She had no answer for that but she stopped speaking to me entirely. Even when it was about something related to work.
Shortly after my boss assigned her to work with me. She would hardly acknowledge me when I spoke to her, and communication was kind of important to the job. I finally asked her what her problem was. In the most snarky tone she could muster she asked me what my problem was. I said my problem was that she was acting like a bitch.
Of course she ran and told the boss, and I had to go with a meeting with him and his two bosses. None of them respected the difference between me calling her a bitch, and saying that she was acting like a bitch. I got wrote up for it.
Jesus fuck
Least angry Linus post
He went to therapy and got his shit fixed.
https://www.businessinsider.com/profile-linus-torvalds-inventor-linux-software-operating-system?op=1Imagine being a reasonable human being and going to therapy
Pretty sure this exchange was after he calmed down.
Correct. I was responding to the inference that all Linus rants are angry.
Makes me proud to push Linux professionally.
Anger is strongest when you care about the subject of the anger
Why would linus give a shit about right-wing swamp life?
x11 fork guy was saying some anti vax shit or something in the kernel discussions and I’m sure he’s not the only lobotomy-right-wing commenter. Lob-right for short.
