@wholookshere but @JasonDJ never claimed that Linus is perfect. On the contrary, he admires how normal and human and unfiltered Linus is. So in terms of toxicity profile, we don’t need to actually meet him to know what to expect. So your gotcha is kinda irrelevant. We know he’s not a saint, and isn’t trying to be. Which paradoxically makes the guy more righteous than all tech billionaires combined.

@orlyowl The guy be like

@madthumbs Have you noticed where you are, lol?

@madthumbs

> What is so precious on Linux that you cannot do on Windows?

Stay private and technologically independent.

@cannedtuna

@Allero Not if it’s hardware-accelerated. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a CPU without hardware virtualization, though.

@muntedcrocodile

@RomulusCornflakes It’s black like an anarchist flag.

@gerryflap Have you ever considered a career of a QA engineer?

@Agent641

@avidamoeba Well, at least you solve them wholesale.

@Lisk91

KILL -9 - no more CPU time!
I run KILL -9 - and your process is mine!
I run KILL -9 - Cause it’s MY time to shine
So don’t step outta line or else it’s
KILL -9!

@ranzispa me be like

@bernhoftbret You forgot systemd

@Kalcifer Epic!

@MimicJar Yeah. Exactly. Motherfucker, I shovel a lot of files around, can’t you update in background? Run a lil daemon, may be? That uses inotify to catch new files? No?

@myotheraccount

@Maroon I thought torrent technology to be a godsend for package managers.

Why none of them use it?

I mean, damn.

@AnimalsDream

@Natanox Seems like NixOS replaced Arch as both a local extremist cult and the most effective newbie repellent.

@Dogiedog64 Yeah. There was a time when Nvidia did their damnedest to make Nouveau developers’ life a living hell.

@Natanox

@Montagge As unpleasant it is to admit, shitty people that exist on this planet, are people too, and they also use computers. The year of Linux desktop must logically mean that it’s used by everyone, regardless how much of a piece of shit they are. Being so uncompromising and adolescently idealistic about it doesn’t do us much of a favour in terms of adoption.

On the other hand, a piece of shit with an audience might prove useful.

@JustAnotherKay

@merari42 using flatpak Steam with the library on a non-home drive.

This sucks.

@loonycyborg Irrelevant to this conversation.

@_carmin @disguy_ovahea

@disguy_ovahea we don’t really share a kernel, but we do share the lineage, so yeah, we are cousins. I hate Mac OS far less than I do Windows. My pet peeve about it is largely political, not technical.
