Great, now we're not going to catch the next zero day compression vulnerability. :)

ITT: people upset claiming Torvalds is political getting all political on a post about kernel improvements.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I'm OOTL. Why are people upset with Torvalds?

He followed legal advice from lawyers and removed some russians from being kernel maintainers to comply with sanctions.

People are more mad about how he did it rather than just the action he took. If he just explained why without being a prick nobody would care.

We have to face is Linus might be good intentionned but his years on the internet have made him an remorseless abrasive juvenile dickhead. I wish he'd lampshade it because most of the tine he comes off as just a nasty arogant goblin. It's clear he feels permitted for his accomplishment and hard work to take his frustrations on others and it's clear he knows it's really not fucking helping but it seems he simply can't help himself. Like being nice is a sign of weakness.

What is the point of this comment? Linus was childish as hell in the email chain and started a bunch of drama for literally no reason. I'm not mad as much as I am embarrassed to be a part of the Linux community when things like this happen.

Only those with ties to Russian Government? like govt jobs etc? or all?

[-] argarath@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

He took the authorization for a bunch of Russians from being able to keep working on the Linux stuff. I'm def not remembering everything and I'd suggest you searching any news about it, it's an interesting read

The discussion on LKML was so civilised compared to this one.
I wonder what the phoronix one is like...

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

Thanks, got a new term today.

Wasn't expecting this under a random unrelated post. A very welcome comment nonetheless.

Never forget that the exponential boom of renewable energy tech the last 20 years has entirely served as additional energy, not as replacement of fossil fuels.

20 years ago there were 2000000000 fewer people in the world.

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.
