Why is Linus Torvalds always so angry?

You know anyone else who can debug 4 million lines of code for what he bid for this job?

>>57208602
How is he angry? He is just being neutral.

Because Gnome proves itself incompetent yet again.

>>57208610
>anyone else who can debug 4 million lines of code

Evidently he's doing a pretty shitty job.

>>57208656
ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word, ah ah ah

He's not wrong, though, scaling is shit.

Linus, like RMS, has been senile for years.

>>57208602
he's right
fuck gnome and their shit interface with 50% more paddings and 30% bigger fonts

He has glasses, now way he can read his shit at 4k at 13 inches without choosing some huge font size or using some sort of scaling.

why shouldn't he be?

Because he has to deal with freetard dumbfucks on a daily basis.

>>57209022
I'm like that too. Probably has to do with the social awkwardness a lot of programmers have.

Although if you combine the social awkwardness with no social awareness and you get stallman.

Linus is the pragmatic engineer, not some sjw cs student who pander to diversity as an excuse of doing a bad job.

Isn't it obvious? He's not getting any pussy. Rumor is that he fucked his wife 3 times and those are the times he had his 3 children. Plus even if he wanted to fuck his wife now, fucking a hallway would probably feel better.

That's what he said, what point are you trying to make? He's right

He follows traditional Finnish business management ways. He once said in a mail to google "management by perkele"

He created one of the single most important components of computers in their history. He doesn't like when people do stupid things like make settings difficult to disable or enable. He is qualified to comment on those things.

>>57209334
>He would have finished it before then.
WTF does that even mean? Let me rephrase it for your stupid ass, Who will control of the kernel pas to when he dies? He controls it now.

>>57210615
He thinks it's possible for software to have a "perfect, finished state" where no further work on it is necessary because it is all things to all people and compatible with all hardware platforms.

>>57210651
Someone will have to have legal ownership as he now has, unless he's just going to release it to everyone. If that happens Linux is fucked. At least now no one can modify it.

>>57210651
This, except I was joking.

What will probably happen is that development will splinter and it will be a clusterfuck for a few years until one fork comes out on top, unless he hand picks a successor. Even if he does it might happen.

I expect BSD to rise in popularity, at least temporarily, when Linus dies/retires.

>>57210718

>>57209369
It looks like a piece of crap.

>>57210718
I think you're kind of missing the point of the GPL. At present, anyone at all can modify the Linux kernel and release their own version of it. Technically, distros such as Debian already do; it's just that they always go back to the mainline kernel for new versions.

>>57208602
He spends his life fixing other peoples bugs. You would be angry too.

>>57208602
He's right though. Scaling is for fuckheads who either have granny vision or sausage fingers that can't select small items on touchscreens

>>57210615
>Who will control of the kernel pas to when he dies? He controls it now.
The Linux Foundation controls it, you retard. Linus is a part of it.

>>57210902

>hates gnome

Why doesn't he just use something else? KDE isn't too bad.

>>57211290
Presumably Gnome is otherwise what best suits his needs, but has a couple of issues that annoy him. There are a couple of things about Linux that I think could use some work, but I don't just say "well, might as well use Windows then".

>>57210902
Scaling is so you can fucking see on your meme displays, but if you want to rape your vision, go ahead and turn it off.

>>57208602
He's not always angry. You just don't hear about his nice comments because they don't make the news and nobody bothers reposting those.

And he's right, scaling in Linux is fucking awful. I totally get why he would want to turn it off given its current state, I just don't understand how the fuck he can see anything on a 13" 4K monitor without scaling.

>Last I checked Linux was GPL.
Yes, people can fork it. The mainline kernel repository is protected. You can submit a pull request, but the owner of the repository has to approve it before it is applied.

>>57210815
Yes, but currently the majority of distros get their kernel from the mainline repository. For that to continue, someone would have to be approving pull requests for the kernel to continue to be updated.

>>57212268
not to mention that anger is about the only effective way to get through to autists, try to be civil and they'll just blow you off

>>57208602

Scaling is shit. I got a bigger screen so I could put more on it not so shit would be bigger I could just sit closer.

>>57212683
IIRC Linux already has contingency plans for the case that he is no longer able to do it. There's a few other people that already handle a lot of it, and he plans to leave it to them.

a varaity of perspectives, from a diverse group of people, leads to innovative approaches to problems and the development of novel ideas for apps, overall improvements, devices. People from different backgrounds can look at the same question and come up with different answers to it, which is better than a monolithic approach. white men have dominated many fields, for better or for worse, but now we need to allow access to these areas to the wider world. the transition will be rocky, to be sure, but it will be for the better. women will see things men will never see, blacks things whites wont, asians things neither will, lgbtqqia things straights wont, etc

no it doesnt, this is a marxist and anti-white catch phrase and there isnt a single study to back it up. meanwhile...

>>57217583
So you're saying that one single group's approach to questions/problems/development cycles are the only one that matters, and that a diverse group of people have nothing to offer?

http://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/organization/our-insights/why-diversity-matters
http://www.globalwomen.org.nz/assets/Uploads/resources/Leadership-resources-BNZ-Diversity-Case-Study.pdf

a small google search shows that you're wrong about no single study existing to back this up...
I understand your frustration, though. The shift towards greater diversity in our culture has not been handled very well, but it should not be taken as 'anti-white'. in a properly diverse group, the value of a white man's input is just the same as any others- it's just right now, in an effort to ramp up the amount of diversity, some see that it is needed to shut white men, as they are the dominint group, off to the sidelines to showcase others. this should not be the case, but it's the best way we have right now to bring the maximum amount of good in the minimum amount of time. many people have trouble looking at this issue as something to be solved over the course of generations, and they want to solve in one go, and that's where the trouble is.
