First they came for the gamers. Now they come for the coders and repositories, which are the means of production. They hate it when the programmer doesn't take part in "the movement" ,and they despise the one which is not aware of the movement. Only the programmer with class consciousness is approved. The lumpenproletarian is the enemy.

Karol is mentally ill. He needs to be committed more than his code does.

Joe Biden said the quiet part out loud: they want to lock Trump up and throw away the key.

Standard Procedure: 1. Proceeds to abuse and oppress others; 2. Fails miserably; 3. Throws tantrum; 4. Posts announcement: "We cannot stand this kind of abuse and oppression, we are leaving"; 5. Retracts into a bubble where everyone thinks the same;

What a brittle snowflake. Emotionally unstable people don't inspire reliance on what they create. Bye.

So...should your company be running mission critical software that is written and supported by mentally ill people? At least with commercial operating systems, lacking insane celebrity developers, if someone loses it they are escorted out the door and things continue on.

Linux is the most widespread operating system, globally – but how is it built? Few people are better to answer this than Greg Kroah-Hartman (Greg K-H): Greg has been a Linux kernel maintainer for 25 years, and one of the 3 Linux Kernel Foundation Fellows (the other two are Linus Torvalds and Shuah Khan). Greg manages the Linux kernel’s stable releases, and is a maintainer of multiple kernel subsystems. We cover the inner workings of Linux kernel development, exploring everything from how changes get implemented to why its community-driven approach produces such reliable software. Greg shares insights about the kernel's unique trust model and makes a case for why engineers should contribute to open-source projects. Watch or listen: • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Brought to you buy: • WorkOS — The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. • Vanta — Automate compliance and simplify security with Vanta. Check out all of our current sponsor and their offerings: ---- One of the most surprising things I learned about Linux: although 4,000 developers contribute to the project from 500 companies per year, and has around 800 kernel maintainers, the project is run with email, git... and that's about it! No dedicated project managers, no regular meetings across the group. It's a truly fascinating and unique model (and only applies to the Linux kernel project: not to Linux distributions.) We go into more detail about this topic with Greg in the podcast as well.
