Linus coming out swinging, ya love to see it
Linus is the best kind of jerk.
That’s my benevolent dictator for life alright
Very well put.
“i don’t use woke communist propaganda!”
sent from linux"
It’s wild to me that someone like Linus has the time and mental capacity to compose these. It’s kind of nice to see that you can act like an unemployed Reddit mod no matter your other responsibilities. I too like to act that way occasionally.

he is a being made mostly of rage.
also finnish.
Finish? I thought the Linux project is forever ongoing! (/s)
Ongoing? 'Ardly know 'er.
When people are just the dumbest sometimes you need to unload. The weight of being a genuine person wanting to better this fucking disgrace of a world takes a toll.
In those moments, they’re the personification of all the hate and ugly that your existence is against.
Indulging all the time yeah get the neckbeard and fedora ready… sometimes though
Least angry Linus post
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.
Makes me proud to push Linux professionally.
In shocked and appalled that the guy who maintains the free os kernel might be a dirty commie. I use arch btw.
sob
I… I use arch.
i wanna use arch but my daily driver is a macbook pro with intel silicon.
my daily driver is a macbook
you get what you deserve
i… gasp… sigh. you are correct. to be fair and show my age, my first linux box was slackware on a 486dx. had that bad boy in a plexi case serving up badass 90’s era perl scripts. 😂
I got good news for you, come October 15th there will be a whole bunch of cheap liquidated ThinkPad laptops flooding Ebay, join us.
Really? Are they decent? Where are they coming from?
Windows 10 EOL, all of the computers with hardware “unsupported” by Windows 11 will be liquidated by businesses.
at our company, we threw out a Lenovo Yoga X390. Technically, W11 would be supported, but it’s 6 years old now, so it goes in the trash.
I made sure it’s “disposed of” properly. In totally unrelated news, I installed manjaro on my new Lenovo Yoga X390, which I found in the trash.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Is it one of the more recent ones, i.e. one with a T2 chip? If so, T2 Linux might be for you. Got Arch running on a 2019 MacBook Pro this way. The WiFi kernel module causes quite a few issues, so it’s a bit of a pain to install and even after that, WiFi will stop working occasionally, but reloading the kernel module helps if that happens. Definitely far from perfect, but still somewhat usable.
I think it’s also possible and easier to install on older MacBooks without the T2 chip, but not sure since I have no experience with those.
Linux on older Intel Macs is genuinely a 10/10 experience in most cases I’ve run it on. The one hiccup that comes up is needing to add
NOMODESETto* your grub entry.
I’ve got a 2012 Mac book pro with arch Linux running great on it, other than some jiggery with the WiFi driver.
If it’s intel, it is totally a non issue that it’s a Mac, other than the ones from around 2012 need a couple of extra commands to get WiFi connected in the instillation image boot , and an extra package needs to be specified for instal to make sure it will be able to connect afterwards. Ethernet works without any jiggery or pokery.
Can confirm, arch runs fine on my 2014 macbook pro too. Does definitely require some adjusting to get there, but if you wanna use arch that’s a given anyway. Gnome desktop has decent multi touch support for the trackpad out of the box IIRC.
cool!
asahi! fedora is fiiiine
That would be for Apple silicon, not intel.
ah… i read “silicon” and nothing else
Intel . . . silicon?
This is one of the most heartwarming things I’ve read in weeks. Linus is a treasure.
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.
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
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.
A lot of churches/temples are membership-based. You can probably still attend sermons and the like in most cases if you’re not a member, but they won’t let you have a wedding, baptize your baby etc. in their temple.
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.
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.
I remember when this was forat curculating I found him and his post on mastodon.
His own blogs no?
He’s not gonna sugarcoat it, ever. Hell yeah.
When was this posted? Or is it not at https://social.kernel.org/torvalds ?
I was able to dig it up:
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.
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)
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.
I’m getting “Page not found” with those links
Thanks!
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
A few years ago.
