Only an asshole when talking about contributing to Linux from what I’ve seen
You spend all your adult life nurturing a baby like the Linux kernel, a lot of it unpaid, and you’ll be a bit touchy about what goes into it too.
he gets paid, more than enough
Now he does. Originally he did not.
For those downvoting, Linus Torvalds earned around $650k USD last year, solely from his work on Linux and not including any speaking gigs.
He’s not Bill Gates rich but Linus is very well off.
The value humanity gets from that is orders of magnitude greater
That may be, don’t think I’ve heard him talk about anything else. One of my favorite clips ever is his message to nvidia. Some things are worth being angry about. And because of his angry public reaction, I became aware of nvidia’s anti-FOSS efforts. So it’s not all bad imo.
True.
Here’s a dataset of most of his rants from the LKML along with the “hate” rating of each.

Telling someone they need to get their act together or you’ll ignore their shit is considered more hateful than asking for someone to be retroactively aborted?
Haha I was wondering the same. The hate score does not make sense
He really does have a point here…
