yeah ive seen some but not much at all about that
Stallman also is Autistic.
haha really
Uppercase "A".
I respect Linus more because he made the GNU actually useful?
I would have guess Aspergers
GNU was useful long before Linux.
Installing GNU on top of proprietary Unixes was the norm.
okay i didnt know
There's a biography, I think even freely available, you can see interviews with some of his lab coworkers and even his mom.
He's Autistic, his mom says it.
maybe shes just memeing 😄
The guy was a genius in physics, he was one of the few that took an advanced course, and survived to the end, with like 4 or 5 others only.
But he gave up because he was insecure on whether he could discover something new, and he liked computers more.
Who knows what his autism could have discovered in physics.
so the GCC was written my Stallman's Autism?
He tried 2 compilers beforehand. On one, the author didn't want to make it free software. The other was public domain, but it sucked.
So he went "well, I guess I'll have to create one by myself"
him explaining why GNU never had a successful kernel sounds like a huge copout
He's autistic, not a software designer.
that was dumb of him
And he never wrote a kernel before.
and yet years later a simple kernel does the job
thats a long time to not learn from your mistakes
I wouldn't call Linux simple, just "dumb, but works."
Now Linus is whining about all the graphics stack being dumped into the kernel.
the kernel as "being one program" as rms describes
Linus doesnt whine he screams the fire of rage from deep inside his heart
the man is a REAL NIGGA
He rages against companies, but he whines with fellow developers.
rms seems like an excuse for himself, by comparison
but thats just personality. thats not code
Linus is just bubbled from ideologies because of the inertia of moving away from Linux.
this is hilarious
you know ive actually wanted to talk to someone about this stuff for awhile, but my only couple coding friends somewhat agree with me already
Linus thinks he's the hottest kernel developer there is, because everyone uses it.
yes
But the whole BitKeeper drama shows how little he cares about others.
i aks nobody their humility for their accomplishments
