This style is a way to fight back against the inevitable entitlement that people get when they use an open source software and then demand the creators do this and that.
By dropping any pretense of being polite or approachable, you basically encourage people to shut the f*ck up and either be happy with what they got or else submit a PR.
- ants_everywhere 1y agoThe style is just standard insecure angry dude, it's not a way to fight back against anything. A good deal of the site is just them complaining they don't get access to free stuff from CapCut anymore. It's not "take it or leave it", it's "waah how dare you not give it to me."

- rchaud 1y ago> By dropping any pretense of being polite or approachable Linus Torvalds does this without feeling the need to articulate himself like a Scarface character. It's not a coincidence that he was the primary author of the biggest open source project in the world.
