A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

MODERATORS
To be COMPLETELY fair, the rust guy is the one who completely took what the linux developer said out of context, threw THE BIGGEST hissy fit about not getting his way, took Christoph's objection to not-C languages in the kernel as a personal attack against Rust specifically even though Christoph went out of his way to point out that it wasn't against Rust specifically but any other language including assembly, and then attacked him by trying to get him removed from the Linux maintainers team for saying the word "cancer" (which is an apt description for anything that metasticises, draws resources away from the host, and can potentially kill the host due to a breakdown in the ability to grow properly, which was his point).
In this case, it was the Rust developer's fault and the Rust developer being incredibly harsh, prickly, and manipulative - not Linux.
The only thing Linus did was come out and say that maybe the Rust developer is the problem - Linus was 100% in the right to do so.
Hence, completely avoidable drama
