The original petition is an utter waste of time.[0] It provides no insight to the problem, no analysis, no debug, no "if this, then that". It's petitions like this that are "clearly identifiable, consistent behavior" of people who shouldn't be petitioning FREE, OPEN-SOURCE, SOFTWARE. Put an issue in github if this is such a big deal...no one asked this petitioner to use Linux, nor paid for it.
Development is complicated. We should all keep learning from one another and encourage communications
Yes, but calling out the BDFL of one of the most influential pieces of technology is straight up utter poor communication. Linus should have ignored this.
Where do I start a petition to make people aware of what a complete a-hole Linus Torvalds is?
You know what you do with people who are assholes? Ignore them. I find it quite funny that people criticize Linus for his attitude. Personally, I don't condone it and would be my prime reason for not working with him. But you know what? I don't have the capability or know how to contribute to the Linux kernel, so who am I to judge an organization's "style of communication" for providing something that has created massive value to my everyday work?
