    I have an hard time disagreeing with his post. What exactly outrages you? The stances on Trans rights, religion or gun control? Or maybe the fact that “woke” has no definition whatsoever (you may just say “you are a c*t” with the same intended effect)

    That said, i share much more often Linus’ opinions than Elon Musk, Besos, Picai combined. Even in the open source community he is the most reasonable and balanced person, imo.

    Should he take a “public speaking 101” course? Heck yeah! Does he make less of a reasonable person? Heck no!
