Many people have contibuted to linux. Linus is a boomer turd looking for the spotlight. He is washed up. He a sloppy boy! I no longer care what he has to say. Yeet kill your idols
๐คฃ This comment needs more slang and buzzwords.
(seriously though, the comment section here itself ironically looks like slop - filled with terrible rhetoric and circlejerk comments)
It's rather ironic that people running around braying about slop just keep regurgitating a handful of talking points they memorized.
Yeah, Linus is hella cringe, he got no riz. No cap.
Etc
Fo shizzle, chat! His flow be bussin', yo.
He really is. I saw him at the airport and he just looked smug as shit this was right after Trumps election I know who he would have voted for. For a long time he was just to worried to lose useful contributors who were left wing to not upset them. I feel like now that he has AI he feels like he can throw those people under the bus.
