As a Finnish person I wholeheartedly agree with Linus.

It came with either Windows 2000 or XP.

And that using your own key with an app is actually prohibited by TOS. They can keep their bot generated content.

That’s because you used a third party app. Reddit got rid of those a year ago.

More like: GIMP can do much of what PS can do, but you’ll tear out your hair trying to, cause it’s so unintuitive and slower.

Studies show that ligatures improve readability, but I acknowledge that it’s likely untrue for outliers.

Do you also get surprised when you backspace a tab and suddenly it removes more whitespace than 1 characters worth?

Or did you learn it fast and really never think about it?

I think it’s more a “getting used to” thing, that once learned, you don’t think about, but it makes things more readable.

I mean, we read code more than we write it. You just vomitted over something that increases readability. Maybe a time for a rethink?

The great majority of developers never contribute, that’s a false expectation. Majority of programmers work in the private sector and use local git hosts/solutions instead of GitHub.

Again, expecting those devs to not use git because of one hoster, is a ludicrous idea in itself.

It hasn’t. There are literally thousands and thousands of developers using Git daily without having nothing to do with GitHub.

You are entitled to your opinion, but that’s a fact. What MS does or doesn’t, with GitHub, has no effect on these devs. You can see how egregious it is to read a random person sayint we should stop using a certain tool, because Walmart also uses it? Jeesh.

I self-host GitBucket, and honestly your reasoning behind giving up arguably the best version control application, just because of one hosting site, is downright ludicrous.

That’s weird because it’s both the icon of the app, and the exact name.

Nah, they are average human beings

That’s insulting? Quite civil words, compared to the words the community he is describing, use in that thread.

There was a lot of shitty comments by people who just bashed, but not all.

I’m not seeing the “insulting users of the community” point you stated OP, could you clarify? I did see one snarky response to a dude calling him an asshole, and I also saw posts stating he shouldn’t be a mod, and generally very hostile responsens. Those in mind, I think his output was quite civil even though I disagree with his reasoning and opinion to large degree.

This feels like a witchhunt to me, and I for one don’t think a volunteer moderators job should be in question if he has a hot take on something. He’s just keeping the spam etc. clean, he’s allowed to have differing opinions on subjects, as long as there is no misuse of his mod powers.

In think that there’s enough space here for differing opinions and discussion. Echo chambers are not good. Fyi: I’m against his idea, but I welcomed the discussion.

I was there when they didn’t.

We might be condescending due to braindead users like this:

You’re not entitled to a working computer once you execute a free program?

Despite grasping legal obligations at the age of 9, taking responsibility for your own actions seems to still be a struggle. Good luck.
