Linus Torvalds Reads Your Mean Tweets

Posted by timothy on from the humor-trumps-malice dept.

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.

      A Theo de Raadt episode would be a lot more fun.

      But seriously, I miss the Friday Star Wars and/or evolution stories.

      How about "I'm the president of the Andrew Tanenbaum Fan Club, and we wondered why you're such an asswiped for choosing a monolithic kernel."

      asswiped was replaced by the newer asshatd, which is lighter and faster for Ruby-based ass-hattery.
