stupid sexy torvalds
Is there a fetish community for people that want to be ripped apart by Torvalds’ anger?
It’s called masochism, so yes they exist
it’s the internet; if you can think it, it exists.
You’re already here
Could have painted it as a punishment for him for he changed his ways.
yeah fuck those entitled Rust Developers.
It was the other way around, LOL
Aw hell naw, torvalds supports rust in the kernel and the hate against it is just not based on reality
Sure he allows rust now in the kernel.org but I thought you were referring to the drama around Hector Martin.
The drama where he ended up ripping into the maintainer who’s trying to block rust code from being added? :P
yeah how dare they want to develop in the same way that everyone else does
they should have been a bit more respectful to the C maintainers and devs, as they were the newcomers.
They were pretty respectful, it was the C-devs that were at fault
being new does not mean you do not have the right to develop the same way everybody else is. they did not start these issues, there were C people causing issues for no reason other than not liking rust that started it.
Have you actually read the reasoning behind the anti-rust? it has absolutely nothing to do with it being rust. They would have just as many issues with it if it was Go instead.
But did you read the exchange this conversation is about? It sounds like you’re operating on month-old headlines.

Okay, then downvote and move on, or block me if this comment is just as annoying.
Not what downvotes are made for. I found it funny however.
Aren’t they meant for content you dislike?
Technically upvotes are for contents that befit the sub and are relevant, and downvotes are for things that are irrelevant for the sub they weren’t meant to be used as like/dislike.
Is there a source for that?
There’s likely no such thing. How you interpret upvotes and downvotes is up to you. But don’t you think that’s a more much more useful measure than “I like this” and “I don’t like this”?
- Nobody knows who upvoted or downvoted, at least if you don’t get to see the database or server logs. This means nobody would really know if you in particular liked some post or comment or not. IIRC Lemmy doesn’t even show you what your upvotes and downvotes are. This means you wouldn’t remember what you upvoted or downvoted.
- What we like or dislike has nothing to do with what is good for more people. We can dislike something, but it doesn’t mean that that something isn’t good for ourselves, or everyone else.
- Votes can sway where a post/comment appears depending on the sorting option.
Given all that info, you should know that votes matter not for yourself, but for others. Want something to be more visible up top in the Top sorted comments? Upvote. Up in Hot? Upvote. Want them down the list? Downvote.
So then the final question is, well how should I decide what do I want to be more visible and what do I want less? That’s really up to you and what you think your relationship with other people and your world is. You want chaos and like watching the world burn and have yourself caught in that too? Upvote crazy takes and downvote the sane voices of reason and care. Want to promote a healthier world where people have useful conversations that help each other in their lives? Upvote those good comments that do so.
Get your mind off the kind of Facebook voting treadmill where it’s your own visible voice and that everything is just about “me, me, and me” and focus on others for once.
Ofc, if you want to be a troll, have at it and do whatever you want. I’ve wasted my words on you, but I’ve at least left some words for other people.
That actually makes a lot of sense, but if people downvote the content they dislike that means the content is generally unfavorable, and therefore I wouldn’t want to see it. Imo these two “options” for how yo use downvotes are functionally the same.
Why would I be a troll BTW?
cry about it?
