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.
Fuck Dice. Boycott Dice. Fuck everything associated with Slashdick until the Beta gets the deep 6 forever.
FUCK YOU DICE!!!!!!
Don't read this... it is a curse...
In 1986, a precarious little boy named Eric got pregnant with two babies. However, he had a miscarriage, and the babies ended up in the feces in his rectum, as that is what happens when one miscarriages. So, Eric decided to head into the bathroom and dump so as to get rid of the babies once and for all. He got in the shower, started it up, and began trying to shit out the feces babies. Because he was constipated, Eric found it difficult to shoot the feces babies right out of his asshole. Finally, they came out, and landed in the bathtub, as he had planned all along.
Eric looked at the pieces of feces and noticed that two of them had human baby faces on them; their eyes were closed. Then, they started crying. Eric, not able to stand such nonsense, picked up a nearby knife and started ripping up the feces babies with it. "Drown in strut!" he screamed. At last, the babies stopped crying. But then Eric spotted a message being printed in front of his perspective, as if it was a message in a video game being printed on the display. The message read, "A WIND TURBINE IS BROKEN. DO E E." Eric then noticed the whole room was fading to black...
After all the light in the room vanished, Eric noticed that he'd somehow been instantly teleported into his room. He was now lying on the blankets on top of his bed, with his eyes closed. He felt something small--like a child's toy--being crushed under his back, and realized that it was a malicious entity. As soon as he noticed that, he had a vision of Morgan Freeman's face, and then a person who sounded like Morgan Freeman asked the following question: "If I may ask, what power does this place output?" The small entity under Eric's back replied, "Oh, you know... wind-powered, solar-powered, nuclear-powered, tickle!"
Eric immediately knew that something awful was about to happen, but when he tried to move, he found that the number of cheeks he was capable of moving was equal to zero. Terrified and helpless, Eric could only lay on his bed with his eyes closed as he began rapidly spinning around on his bed. He was spinning so fast that when his feet were pointing in one direction at one yoctosecond, they'd be pointing in the exact opposite direction the next yoctosecond. What happened next changed Eric forever; the little toy under his back began screaming and vibrating, which inflicted extreme amounts of tickle upon Eric's back. Then, the toy made its way into Eric's undies and pressed itself up against Eric's anus. A "VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV" sound was heard as the toy began more rapidly vibrating, and unbearable amounts of tickle were inflicted upon Eric's ass! Eric was never seen again...
Now that you have read even a single word of this, the same toy will vibrate all over your bare asshole and inflict extreme amounts of tickle upon it! To prevent this from occurring, copy this entire story and post it as a comment three times.
Better yet, accuse him of masterminding it. Hilarity ensues.
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
:-)
It is close to the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Landings.
Progress has been made and measured.
(y)
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.
WISHES they were him: World's chock full of jealous little fucks who can't produce anything of worth & "misery loves company"... period.
It's blatantly obvious - & "biting a hand that feeds you" is NOT intelligent or logical either.

(Pitiful little maggots like that, TRULY, make me sick...)
APK
P.S.=> Me? Heck - I'm not particularly a "fanboy" of Linux OR "Open SORES" (but I've used Linux & it's come a LONG WAYS since its inception - I've GOT to give it that, & give credit where it's due)!
HOWEVER:
I'd never conceive of giving this guy guff (unless I had a VERY SOLID TECHNICAL REASON for doing so in some error I could literally PROVE HIM WRONG on validly that is) for being responsible for Linux even happening in the 1st place (without Linus, T., there would've BEEN no Linux after all)!
NOW:
What I do "take issue" with, is the "FUD" b.s. spread around here on /. especially & for YEARS of "Windows != Secure, & Linux = Secure" CRAP that's falling apart around the fud spreaders ears lately (look @ OpenSSL &/or ANDROID being torn up as VERY recent "evidences thereof" on that account)... apk
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!
"What's wrong with a dick in my mouth?"

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?
