    I really don’t think context changes a lot in this case. Being frustrated doesn’t make statements like this acceptable. Neither does starting the sentence with “if” or being right (which he was).

    Believe me, my intention is not to attack or discredit Linus. As a SE and Linux enthusiast I have a great deal of respect for him. But this is not exclusive with acknowledging that he is just a human and has flaws like all of us.

    I brought this up to show that it’s more complicated than just being “really nice but very honest”, that’s all.














  • I think as far as holidays go, it’s pretty decent:

    • I get some work free time.
    • It’s a distraction from the fact that there’s no fucking daylight which makes me miserable.
    • I get some gifts and give some gifts. It’s not about their material worth but it’s cool that people actively try make someone else happy. We don’t do that everyday.
    • There is a lot of colorful lights. I love colorful lights.
    • I get a lot of time to hyperfixate on some kind of programming / linuxing computer stuff. Maybe gaming.

    I feel like a lot negatives of Christmas don’t affect me because: I don’t watch TV or ads, don’t go much to shops or any public places for that matter, I don’t really use social media outside of Lemmy. Also, I don’t have a big extended family.
