Linus wrote git to be used via email as part of its core design, so that was just the way he rolled back then. GitHub and Gitlab and all the cloud platforms and tooling came afterwards and it took time to reach a critical mass, and even then, some folks stick to what they’re used to.
Looking at Linus’ GitHub profile, looks like not much has changed — 100% commits, 0% everything else.
yet ppl here mostly dont care about breaking the userspace and use systemd shit that breaks said space. mention it here…get a hated for pointing out lennart poettering is a wanker.
It’s often clear to see that Linus hasn’t experienced the “and find out” part of what happens when you fuck around. I know that many of us techies aren’t the most confrontational types, but I’m surprised that no one has hit him yet.
I feel like people are overlooking the fact that this is typical early internet behavior lol.
I get that its the linux kernel mailing list, but I’m pretty sure Linus was way more wild online than in person because that’s how public internet forums and IRC used to be like.
Stallman has also said some equally braindead stuff lol.
