Believe or not both you and Linus Torvalds can be wrong. Shocking, I know. I don’t know how you’ll break the news to your loved ones. Might be time reevaluate some stuff.

minus-squareZeroHora@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·21 days agoThat’s true. I’m more inclined of the idea that he is just trying to avoid conflict to focus on the development. That’s a common idea that I see in this type of people.
minus-squaregnuhaut@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-221 days agoMaybe he’s trying to avoid conflict with US government, but he clearly is not trying to avoid conflict with that statement.
