Ouch

He's not wrong, though.

Agreed. Still, there’s a polite way to do things.

Compared to rants Linus is famous for, this is polite.

Dumping bullshit into a software commons isn't very polite either.

And yet this is tame for him.

It's best when reading his creative prose to extract the meat of it and do your best to ignore the rest. His choice of words is crude at best, but at least he's also suggesting improvements with them rather than just spewing expletives for the sake of it.

It's by far his biggest flaw, but also one that he's acknowledged and worked on over time at least.

Since when asking "please don't do X" while emitting an opinion/explanation on the matter is impolite?

Can you explain yourself?

He needn't've used the word "disgusting", did he?

[–] strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 month ago

I whole-heartedly agree.
