Linus Torvalds Reads Your Mean Tweets
An anonymous reader writes "In the spirit of Jimmy Kimmel's popular Mean Tweets series and in a rare video appearance, Linus Torvalds takes to task a few 'tweeters' who have called him out. Never one to back down, Linus reads the tweets and shares his comments." Sadly, this is just a few -- with weekly updates, Linus could charge a subscription to fund unlimited diving trips.
That was painfully tame. Like, PBS levels of tame.
Linux has provided some epic rants... this is just pathetic.
Note to self: Send Linus some mean tweets.
..pretty lame.
Epic comment by mr. Torvalds.
... Hm...those Hollywood stars, what can I say?!
Personally I think he handled those tweets with grace and excellence, however - I do miss his "F*CK YOU NVIDIA" attitude sometimes, keeping it real, sticking it to the man and all that jazz.
Here's a fun fact, I met Mr. Torvalds in a parking lot of Astoria (Oregon, US)...he was just leaving Bridgewater Bistro with (his wife?!), albeit he has never seen me before, he obviously doesn't like fanboys too much as he grabbed his (wife?!) hand and ran like mad towards his car when I tried to say HI!
Oh wait...
What this world is coming to - is for you and me to decide.
The edgiest moment was when he came on screen and I said, "Why did they get some fat fuck to play the part of Linus? ...oh."
Seriously, when did he gain the latest 20 kg?
Whatever. I guess I don't care if Jabba makes my kernel, so long as it works.
Text, thanks.
For large sets, this will be our guide even unto death, for the LORD will work for each type of data it is applied to...
NO FUCKING WAY!
Wow, never knew he pronounced his name Leenus.
it looks & sounds like his overbite is starting to give him trouble. i wonder how often he bites his lip?
Linus played Supaplex in DOS days.
Btw. I'm not Anonymous Coward, I simply forgot my name.
Its been a long time, but you seem to have gained some weight ;-)
Good responses btw
Perhaps you should use the browser that comes with sega saturn..
:-)
It is close to the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Landings.
Progress has been made and measured.

The laugh track makes me want to retch. Just what image is linuxfoundation trying to project? Anyway, Linus did not read any tweets that were actually mean, so it is also bait and switch. Funny, indeed. But would be way funnier without the laugh track.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Here's also an unknown-to-many clip where he speaks Finnish. His Finnish has gotten a bit crusty, but still mostly fine. He speaks it in a Swedish accent. He says that talking about his job (involving various technical terms) in Finnish is a bit difficult.
It's clearly meant to be overly twee. That's what makes it funny. It's also why it's so short.
I quite liked it!
Which suggest that by feeding these people crap you show your envy of them. Never seen you stay away from spreading FUD yourself either (ofcourse you do it to spam you "security product" so its "ok"... *sigh*).
You struck a raw nerve with the worthless trolls here since they downmodded your posts here. Truth hurts. They're butthurt. Oh well!
"What's wrong with a dick in my mouth?"
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Upgrade your reading comprehension.No crap's been fed to anyone. He told it how it is. Spam? AdBlock does it here all day, so you're saying that's "ok"? Grow up. Your forum's "illogic logic" fails again!
poop
why does everything have to be a freakin video these days? can't you type up a transcript, or just do text in the first place?
