What does that have to do with anything?

    Don't they? How do you know?

      because this issue comes up all the time and in the end nobody gives a shit because linus runs the show and is basically a dictator.

There are other ways of contributing to a project besides committing code changes.

What role do you play in the community and/or what subsystem(s) do you work on? I'm the Linux kernel xHCI driver maintainer. I own Linux USB 3.0 support, and I send my patches up to Greg Kroah-Hartman, who is the USB subsystem maintainer. Where do you get your paycheck? I work in Intel's Open Source Technology Center, along with a bunch of other cool Linux kernel developers. -- Sourced from https://www.linux.com/news/special-feature/linux-developers/593966-30-linux-kernel-developers-in-30-weeks-sarah-sharp https://www.linux.com/news/special-feature/linux-developers/...

  Well, in the meritocracy that is LKML, she has a leg to stand on. I'll make sure to send her a "thank-you" for USB 3.0 support. Thanks for answering my question, btw. :)

Mostly, the entire USB3 stack, AFAIK.

She doesn't raise her very valid points about code, but about this other thing, people, or to be more precise about being a callous dick. (My words, not hers, which are way more polite and constructive.) Linus: Yes. And I do it partly (mostly) because it's who I am, and partly because I honestly despise being subtle or "nice". [much later] The thing is, the "victim card" is exactly about trying to enforce your particular expectations on others, and trying to do so in a very particular way. You can call it hipocrisy or Linus being a fucking moron, but don't spit in my beard and tell me it's snowing, okay? Oh my oh my, that's just "how he is", but if others can't stand his crap, then that's them playing "the victim card." What a joke. People don't exist for code, code exists for people. Well, the code that's worth making and keeping around, anyway. So good on her for standing up to him, and shame on the cowardly clowns just eating popcorn, and making a point of posting about it, too; for someone who claims to despise being nice, Linus sure has a big tolerance for sucking up.

  You should probably show your contributions to LKML or the commits you've made to the kernel source at this point. Or, you know, something that shows you have an investment/reason to be speaking up in this fight. otherwise, you're one of the "cowardly clowns just eating popcorn" that you're making a point to shame.
