petsoiLinus Torvalds Lands A 2.6% Performance Improvement With Minor Linux Kernel Patch
K̺͆e̺͆t̺͆a̺͆m̺͆i̺͆n̺͆e̺͆ITT: people upset claiming Torvalds is political getting all political on a post about kernel improvements.
silly goose meekahI’m OOTL. Why are people upset with Torvalds?
bastionHe followed legal advice from lawyers and removed some russians from being kernel maintainers to comply with sanctions.
People are more mad about how he did it rather than just the action he took. If he just explained why without being a prick nobody would care.
Lemmy.ml accounts mad a f.
Norah (pup/it/she)No, I also found the way he handled it really distasteful. Even before his response, just generally the way the whole thing was attempted under a veil wasn’t great. The actions taken should have been transparent from the start.
I do agree that it shouldn’t be polluting this thread like this though.
