The rage comes
from LF actions
and Linus words. All they had to do was to say: Thank you people for
your contribution
but we have no other choice, this is the law.
But they did quite the opposite and Linus showed his true ugly
white western supremacy face for all to see.
That is the cause of the rage.
I know of the seriousness of the issue and I do not mean to belittle it at all, and yet - every time I read “white supremacy” in an online argument I can’t help but think a moron wrote it.
Case in point, Linus is not entitled to personal agency and cannot be held accountable for his choice of words - no, it’s his skin color that explains everything.
A bunch of Brits and Iberians slaughtered and enslaved people in the 1600s, therefore a Finn in 2024 is cursed because he shares the skin tone with said people. I see no problem there.
It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.
And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.
If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.
As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.
Either the death of the Linux Foundation or the exclusion of the Linux foundation from kernel development for at least a few versions. In any case Linus likely used the last of his goodwill in proving he’s more American than any other descriptor.
What were Linus comments that precipitated this?

No clue how all this shakes out. Not real invested in this ideological/bureaucratic slap fight.
It’s always entertaining when Linus flames off.

tl;dr: anyone who disagrees is a russian troll or a useful idiot, according to the linux man
