There was a discussion recently about Mr Trovalds claiming he didn't know anything about user-space at debconf '14, a stunning claim. Now since the discussion is likely to be deleted or edited at the source, well here it is:
I guess people really can't handle the obvious truth being stated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In response to another post) With Trovalds there is also the recent "I don't know anything about userspace whatsoever" claim (debconf '14) we saw*, when not so long ago he was railing on various userspace projects (KDE etc). Who in the world would believe that the man who started linux... does nothing in userspace and has no clue about what goes on there. It's just a lie. *Which he used to "back up" his tacit endorsement of systemd. Then yesterday there was him apologizing for his language etc, a few days after he said he didn't care what poettering thought, (and awhile after defending his style in debconf '14) Guess he got a call from the companies behind the linux foundation which pays him. Also, maybe this has nothing to do with anything but it bothers me for some reason: He took his life and what he did with it was... He married a rather large karate champ woman who was not pretty (all this when he married her, it wasn't a bait and switch kind of thing that is so common). I do not get that either. Guess he lies to himself aswell (or maybe his eyes do?). Really makes everyone in software look bad. Like: don't admit publicly you have anything to do with linux, use it, program for it, etc. Usually men want pretty girls. Usually thin girls if the man is white/european. Usually don't really want someone who "can beat them up", that's not a plus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response: The former post is typical of your posting style. You started with good arguments to criticise, or at least cast suspicion on, Torvalds with critical observation, then switched to criticising him for his choice of wife, because she is not pretty (in your eyes). Then finished with a bunch of crap about what kinds of women men of different ethnicities prefer, and using that nonsense as evidence that there is something wrong with Torvalds. That kind of posting is why no one takes you seriously any longer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I program games, record music, and work on models and levels etc. I'm not a serious guy. I don't program interfaces or deal with hardware not following the specs it claims. Trovald's wife* is not pretty. My cuzin's black friend (west african decent, not east african like farrell) likes big asses: he was salivating while while sitting in a vehicle with me at the rolly pollys with extra everything. I don't. *(wife means woman. Can you even call her "his woman", it's not like he controls her, she can divorce him and take all he has at the drop of the hat, oh and it seems to have been made a point that she's a karate champion, so does she also imagine she could beat his ass if she so chose?). I think trovalds has poor tastes in women. Even RMS has come out in support of marrying (or some analogue there of) the young girls; I suspect because he likes pretty things. Not liking pretty things is strange in a man, atleast in a european-decendant man. Trovalds seems to be willing to sacrifice it all for a woman who is (at the time of their marraige): *Fat. *Not good looking in the face. *Somehow also a karate champion. To throw away a chance at happiness for what? Fitting in? Being respectable? Very progressive of him. He doesn't look that terrible. His daughters look worse than him because of his decision of mate. I hope the other sons of his father have chosen better. If he's the only one than that's the end of the line for that family. They're in the gutter forever now. He could have chosen a pretty woman atleast, and kicked things up a notch with the next generation of his family. Instead he chose to sqaunder his family's lineage up to the point where it gave life to him. What you'll do with the most important aspect of your life says something about you. Trovalds chose to throw it in the trash and tell his father and mother and his grandfather and grandmother and his ancestors generations past to go fk themselves basically. I suspect that says something about him, along with the other things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Calls for censorship ensue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
