I feel like Linux having a guy is antithetical to Linux but I guess I’m just in the minority.

Genuine question. I’m not a developer, I didn’t study computer science, and I’m a pretty basic Fedora user. But why does everyone harp on Linus Torvald’s opinions like they’re handed down from heaven? Windows still dominates the market, but no one cares what Bill Gates says. I love A Song of Ice and Fire but I wouldn’t take writing tips from George R. R. Martin. Richard Stallman’s opinions on GNU/Linux are memed endlessly. Linus is literally just a dude.
I hopped around a bit before landing on .zip, and they definitely strike the right balance. I just want admins to defederate spam. Anything beyond that is curation, which is solely my job.


If slop coding is so great why is everyone so adamant about hiding it from users?
If you’re not willing to disclose something, maybe take that as a hint.


Not leaving the internet wholesale, per se, but I’m guessing the majority of people in the Fediverse are functionally trying to roll back to a pre-2020 internet.
That’s certainly why I’m here.
Because then I’d never finish my masterpiece. /hj But more seriously, a lot of his stylistic choices are ones I try to not replicate in my own writing. The extremely detailed descriptions of food, clothing, woman’s bodies, etc. I love the story he tells but find the writing itself can be a chore to read sometimes, if that makes sense.
