Linus Torvalds isn't just really smart, he's also a good person.

Wait... Linus is posting on Twitter instead of Mastodon?

Burn him!

@TimePencil @doomgirl The screenshot looks like a fediverse post (not Mastodon, but some other server—maybe Akkoma?), but his account there hasn’t posted in over a year, and I couldn’t find this post, so I’m not sure exactly where it’s from.

@ramsey

Yeah, I really don't know if Linus is on Xitter or not. (It's not even my place to criticise anyone for their choice of social media, let alone someone such as Linus!)

The alt-txt reads "screenshot of a tweet from "Linus Torvalds @torvalds" replying to "@morgthorak".
The tweet reads:" ... etc

Good to see Linus' reply was an iron fist in a velvet glove!

(I wasn't trying to be critical; merely making a joke.)😁

@doomgirl

@TimePencil @doomgirl Oh, yeah. Folks are calling all social media posts “tweets” nowadays. It’s a little weird, but also I kinda hope the guy who owns Xitter really hates to hear it, since he got rid of that brand.

@ramsey @TimePencil @doomgirl the screenshot is from 2 years ago, on social.kernel.org, which uses Akkoma (Fediverse, but not Mastodon).
