I want to bet this dude is a giant asshole. Not sure why people keep making a hero out of him, he sounds like an awful person.

[-] dannym@lemmy.escapebigtech.info 12 points 10 months ago

Maybe, I've never met him, but that changes nothing.

Linus Torvalds is a giant asshole and he doesn't know how to talk to people, he's still one of the most important people in tech.

[-] theamigan@lemmy.dynatron.me 54 points 10 months ago

Torvalds isn't an asshole because of a nonexistent moral compass. He just has strong opinions, and he's usually right, anyway.

[-] dannym@lemmy.escapebigtech.info 15 points 10 months ago

Absolutely, didn't mean to imply otherwise

He's not a giant asshole, he just doesn't sugar-coat everything he says.

It's sort of a defining trait in people where he is from. If we say something we tend to say it straight. He might be a more extreme example than most, but I had a good friend from the same neighborhood and he was the same.

We grew up a few years later when he had already moved to the US, but we used to sneak smokes in the park right outside where he first made Linux. My friend lived in the same building as he had done, but he was so computer illiterate that he had no idea who Linus was. I did, though, because Linus described that place pretty well in what I believe was his first book.

Linus is not an asshole, he's just right and tells his opinions straight without playing games. That's called honesty.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 22 points 10 months ago

That... Sounds exactly like how every smart asshole describes themselves. Don't know anything about Linus, just basing that off your description.

[-] franzfurdinand@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Being right and being an asshole aren't mutually exclusive. One is what you're saying, the other is how you're saying it.

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

And people keep making up bullshit about him.

He's not in prison, he's in a mental institution getting therapy because he has issues and was violent. He straight up told the judge he intends to commit more crimes.

I have zero love for Rockstar's bs and I do have admiration of this young man's skills, but he clearly presented himself as someone who can't just be free without any further intervention.
