Whatever happens on my browser is client side, which is hardware and software I own. I can make what I own do what I want. It's a right.

It's like Google saying that I can't skim a magazine in my home, and that I must read the ads. Google can do what they want server-side, and I'll do what I want client-side.

I believe that excellent communication can be had without engineers swearing at each other, and I don't think there are is any good rationale that warrants such behavior. You believe that there is a time and purpose for the style of conversation that Linus portrayed, and it is warranted and effective behavior.

I'm going to agree to disagree from here. Thanks for the conversation.

Please defend these statements for me. I'm having a hard time understanding how this is language we should strive for in a code review, even with your explanation.

Additionally, if you can give me any pointers on how I can communicate this way, I'm all ears and would appreciate the help.

Oh you mean battery life?

I'd ask Valve.

What do you mean by "has a great runtime?"

I almost missed it, but found it thanks to the arrow

I kindly disagree with most of what you said. Linus is brilliant, and I appreciate his contributions not just to technology and freedom but also to society. However, this does not pardon the hardships he has also brought upon others.

It's important to be honest in code reviews, but his language, while also honest, goes far and beyond that. We're doing ourselves a disservice defending this behavior as if it's a standard of communication quality that people should strive for, or learn how to behave like.

Neat.

Linus could also be kinder.

For sure. It's funny in a way, but this is not a great way to treat folks that are trying to contribute, often on their own time. This could have been rephrased in so many other ways where Linus doesn't come off as a total jerk, and still be "right" with the same message.

Or any OS that uses UEFI. Or UEFI without an OS. So basically UEFI and not Windows or Linux at all.

What OS?

You're awesome, thanks!

Oh no! Now that shitty government websites with 12-character passwords don't work, Firefox is dead!!

Get real. Too many of their websites only supported IE when it was around.
