Techrights-secIt's popular and people seek out his knowledge and advice.Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secThe talk in Poland would have been very interesting,, especially for theOct 03 03:01
Techrights-secQ&A because of the very different audience.Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secIndeed.  The world benefits greatly from his activity.  I hope that the FSFOct 03 03:01
Techrights-secis on steady feet by the time he retires or passes on.  There will likely beOct 03 03:01
Techrights-seca move or two against the FSF from the outside or even the inside at such time.Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secTBL cracked though.  EME was the final blow which finished off the WWW.Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secNow the WWW is whatever Google, Facebook, and Amazon decide it will be,  Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secand that is bloated, proprietary surveillance.  Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secMozilla is playing along with that.  I had a thought about that earlier.  Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secHow possible is it that the Mozilla CEO is only playing independent andOct 03 03:01
Techrights-secis colluding with Google on some level?  There are several hundreds of millionsOct 03 03:01
Techrights-secof reasons per year for that to be a possibility.Oct 03 03:01
Techrights-secWell if it looks like a duck, ...Oct 03 03:01

Techrights-secRegarding the origins and inspirations for the WWW, Wikipedia, and Creative  Oct 03 07:50
Techrights-secCommons, there has been a lot of revisionism or at least omission lately.Oct 03 07:50
Techrights-secRMS used to get mentioned a lot more before the last 10 years of campaignsOct 03 07:50
Techrights-secto wipe him and the F-word from history.  Oct 03 07:50
Techrights-secAlso Linus stated and emphasized that choosing the GPL for Linux was oneOct 03 08:00
Techrights-secof his best decisions.  Those might have been the real words which actuallyOct 03 08:00
Techrights-secgot him in trouble more recently.Oct 03 08:00
schestowitz-TRDid you see the new SEATTLE event where he was asked about Rust?Oct 03 08:01
schestowitz-TR2+2=5Oct 03 08:01
schestowitz4th and 5th - publication is a PAID LF mouthpiece -- I thought about chasing the video to pursue the part abour Rust: http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/156364Oct 03 08:10
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.tuxmachines.org | Rusted Kernel and Torvalds' Views About It | Tux MachinesOct 03 08:10
Techrights-secI missed that.  Seattle venues are unlikely to host events that lead to Oct 03 08:10
Techrights-secconstructive dialog.  Can you post a link?Oct 03 08:10
Techrights-secLinus has consistently pointed out the advantages of C over the others.Oct 03 08:10
Techrights-secSome of the claimed advantages of Rust are not there. Oct 03 08:10
schestowitz-TRgithub is still on their TODO listOct 03 08:13
Techrights-sec Unable to connect.Oct 03 08:19
Techrights-secWas it this video?  https://youtu.be/H8Gd9t7FQqIOct 03 08:19
Techrights-secAccording to the one picture, he has aged terribly during the last year:Oct 03 08:19

schestowitz-TRhe is catching up with RMS. All he needs is a beard now. Did you fail to connect to TM???Oct 03 08:20
Techrights-secYes, for a few minutes.Oct 03 08:23
Techrights-secTM was unavailable via HTTP.Oct 03 08:23
Techrights-sec"The New Stack" article makes selective quotes so it is hard to see the fullOct 03 08:23
Techrights-seccontext of Linus' comments about Rust.  However, the one quote does showOct 03 08:23
Techrights-secthat it will start to taint the mainline kernel soon.  BBBBBOct 03 08:23
schestowitz-TRThis publisher is a malicious LF mouthpiece that pushes CoC and worseOct 03 08:23
Techrights-sec  Oct 03 08:29
Techrights-secI do not trust "The New Stack" at all.  that's one of the reasons I'd like toOct 03 08:29
Techrights-secsee the comments in their context.  Rust is more about political control, IMOOct 03 08:29

Techrights-secOften the posts quote but come across as being first person.  :/Oct 03 08:29
schestowitz-TRThis one was an accident and is rareOct 03 08:29
schestowitz-TRI'd rather not comment on LT's aging but instead show the parts where he speaks about Rust, though I feel he says what he feels he's  'supposed' to sayOct 03 08:30
Techrights-secWill they publish the video of the talk with LT and Dirk?Oct 03 08:35

schestowitz-TRyou can see this is on slashdot already, with LF "sponsored" publisher, i.e. PROct 03 08:35
schestowitz-TRBTW, LT "did a Trump" -- compensating for aging with tanningOct 03 08:37
Techrights-secSlashdot only has the TNS article no video.Oct 03 08:49
Techrights-secHe used to, and may still, scuba dive.  IIRC he mentioned a preferenceOct 03 08:49
Techrights-secfor warm water.  So that will entail a lot of time out of the waterOct 03 08:49
Techrights-secin the sun, relaxing.  I doubt he would enjoy the cold water of Narvik,  Oct 03 08:49
Techrights-secfor example.Oct 03 08:49
Techrights-secEven if the diving is supposed to be great.Oct 03 08:49
