this email is fascinating ,,,, it seems that linus torvalds does open source for entirely different reasons than FSF/GNU people??? he seems to only care about it producing better software than proprietary development models do, not user freedom or anything. i did not realize this about him

@b@mrrp.place I have noticed that, for people with progressive social and political values, following Linus is often a deeply disappointing experience.

also , all the stuff he's saying about wanting to ignore any social impacts of his project and entirely focus on the technology is extremely irresponsible at best to quote literally this exact email: the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.
