Calling out incompetence and being a fucking dick are not the same thing, and the fact that people (you included) think that you can't point out mistakes without being a cunt is the entire problem here
Yeah but you just called everyone in the comments who defends him a "neckbeard"
Yes, good job, me shooting my mouth off at Linus stans is exactly the same as Linus publicly humiliating people in what is essentially a professional setting, and therefore me calling people neckbeards invalidates everything I said.
I swear it's like nothing has changed about Linux users in 30 years.
Kinda invalidates your point, yeah.
How can I take you seriously if you're over here doing the same thing as him?
They're not. Linus was being a dick to people who put in time and effort to contribute to a project. This commenter is lashing out after being mobbed.
My bad. Should have clarified. Even though the reasons were different, the actions were the same.
