No, thank you for holding yourself accountable.

He didn’t call the maintainers trolls.

In brief, the creator and lead developer of the Linux kernel stated that the dismissals were simply made in line with the policy of sanctions on the Russian aggressors in the Ukraine war.

Moreover, Torvalds didn’t pull any punches when he said “lots of Russian trolls” were working to make the recent decision look unpopular. Torvalds directly accused Russia of wielding its army of social media bots in an attempt to fake a grassroots campaign and reverse the Russian maintainer cull.

This tracks with other Russian social media efforts.

You can’t share that kind of stuff. There is a victim somewhere, if it’s the accuser/ accused being the victim or the accuser being a victim of their own behavior.

The no true Scotsmen skit is due for a refresh, with a group making excuses about how a series of people aren’t real Nazis.

“he’s fine for now” truncated to “he’s fine” and then HE DIES AT 7 YEARS OLD

No, it’s advertising.

I don’t want it for me. It doesn’t have it.

You want it for you, you have other options.

If you can prove or disprove that you’ve solved a field of philosophy.

Why does the fediverse not have a privacy control to limit who can see and interact with your posts?

Because of the way the protocol works.

There is no way to accomplish this is a publicly federated network without trusting the portals people use and/or creating some sort of public key exchange on friend requests.

This results in privacy breaches being as simple as compromising one node, or writing some code to make a node hostile.

The key idea would be basically when you friend/follow someone you send them your public key, they keep a list of keys and encode/individually send followed messages to people. Very onerous.

He voices himself, maybe he doesn’t get the joke
