From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"if you can't parse tabs as whitespace, you should not be parsing the kernel Kconfig files." ~ Linus Torvalds
This is what we got after people sent him into PC training. The OG Linus would say something like "if you're a piece of s* that can't get over your a** to parse tabs as whitespace you should be ashamed to walk on this planet let alone parsing the kernel Kconfig files. What a f* waste of space."
And honestly, I find his phrasing today far more damming with its conciseness. It screams leadership.
Thanks for your insight, fartsparkles.
Please make fartsparkles the new rimjobsteve. Pretty please?
Spreading kindness to strangers, treating people with respect, and being a force for good on the internet is something everyone should aspire to.
Also I ate way too much glitter than usual this one time and I’ve never been able to live it down. Embrace, extend, shine.
than usual?
I mean, it wasn’t an unhealthy amount!

I need more fartsparkles in my life.
We all do.
Yeah, I can’t stop laughing at
It’s like how I’d admonish my pet
Indeed 😂😂
Well, I do miss the "fuck you mauro" livid linus, yes, nowadays he goes more for 'brevity is the wit of soul'

Why are you censoring your own text? Truly baffling.
Because... there's moderation on lemmy that doesn't like certain words :P
I promise, you can say shit, ass and fuck
Yes, but can you say removed, removed, and sharemoved?
Pretty sure your instance is one of the only ones with that filter
cover your eyes!
sha256 I said it
I've had some posts removed because of that so.. maybe not on this community but still.
Not on your instance.
I think your keyboard is broken. It's inserting random stars in your text.

Yours is too, its posting a silly link at the bottom which makes you look like you're a Facebook mom in 2003.

Ah finally! You didn't put that link in this comment, so I get to feed it to my hungry AI that I keep down in my basement!
Doing the pointless thing is whatever.
Mocking people who point out it's pointless is toxic, abusive, and deeply revealing. You think AI harvesters give a shit what you've told them not to harvest?
It has some strong SovCit vibes.
Dude. Censoring profanity ain't as cringe as licensing a fucking Lemmy comment XD
Can't we just all come together and agree that they're both cringe
xD xD XDDDD

No-no-no. "Whoever can't handle tabs as whitespaces should heat their IQ, it is below freezing right now". Or classic "should be retroactively aborted".
Nice one. Maybe e can make a website "whatwouldlinussay.com"?
Complaining about PC but type the word "fuck"? Genius.
The associated forum post contains a much more endearing translation.
