Linus Torvalds Lands A 2.6% Performance Improvement With Minor Linux Kernel Patch

Unexpected but entirely welcome.

People do forget this all too often.

Cheaper stuff, use more , value less.

He would only escape if he was a presidential candidate or a multi billionaire.

Since he is neither and he works on US soil, then the law came after him. You would cave in, if in similar circumstances.

I already explained my point about it. A lot of companies rebased themselves when political issues occured. The Linux Foundation could easily do that. It's just racism.

Probably butthurt because Linus kicked out maintainers connected to russian entities.

Had a stroll through his profile and he's clearly only here to troll.

Apparently tankies on Lemmy don't like Linux any more after some Russian contributors were removed from the maintainers list.

The contributors were removed because they or their employers (or maybe ex-employers) appeared on the US list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDN). It is illegal for Americans such as Linus Torvalds to conduct business with entities that appear on that list.

They're crying about the removal of Russians for being a security threat to the project, when they should be directing their hate at the psychopathic megalomaniac.

There are hundreds of Linux developers, including companies like Red Hat, Intel, IBM, Google, and more. You want all these people to up and move to... where? Somewhere. Russia, or a Russian ally presumably but hell if i know. Anyway you want them all to move so a handful of people working for Russian weapons manufacturing companies can keep maintaining pieces of the Linux kernel?

This is obviously a non-serious suggestion.

Move physically? Of course not. If it's required to register the foundation, they could ask a maintainer from the country to register it. It's not the cleanest of schemes but it should work. Though if Linus lives in the US now, it can still cause issues because US law system has been proven to not work and they could easily arrest him illegally if they wanted to. However in this case it's the same as living in Russia. Both countries are terroristic.

not to be a bigoted piece of shit? i guess we can't expect that from either of you worthless hounds.

if he wasn't a complete hypocrite he'd ban people from the u.s. and israel as well.

Would you support him banning AmeriKKKan and Isn'treali developers too, given that their countries' war crimes are far grander in scale, horror, and devastation than Russia's?

Really sticking it to those... friendly Russian kernel maintainers. Really doing your part for your individual Two Minutes Hate.

So presumably, as a consistent person that is outrages by invasions and death, you call for the expulsion of all Americans and Usraelis, right?

Ok western chauvinist. Why doesn’t he ban the genocidal Israelis? It’s because he is full of shit and a racist

He is a finn, what do you expect from him?

Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.

His position is that he's an asshole who won't stand up to the US lol

come on now, not all Finns are fascist dipshits, the Punakaarti were great

Well, when you put it like that, I expect him to join the Israeli death squads "out of pragmatism"

So you're a russophobe as well?
