Linus Torvalds uses Google+ extensively to communicate.

• ocdtrekkie 11y ago
  Linus has never been like... a Stallman-esque bastion of software freedom obsession.
  • ktRolster 11y ago
    Linus also spends a lot more time communicating via mailing list. Google+ is like a side thing for him.
    • petepete 11y ago
      Yes, and his G+ posts are seldom Linux-related.

  And I haven't bothered to figure out which parts of my creep-blocking software I need to disable to read whatever he writes, so his "extensive communication" gets ignored.

  Have we all voted to give Linus the ability to think for us? If I have a question about anything regarding GNU/Linux (or git, or even C development), by all means, I will take whatever Linus says as gospel. But when it comes to which tools we use and how that relates to freedom, we should all think for ourselves.

  Linus has very little to do with the free software movement.
