> As a ‘Linux’ Foundation Fellow or a Principal Developer, taking charge of kernel.org only indirectly (a Russian person handles most of the infrastructure; someone from the Ural region), does Torvalds have much of a say on what to use for E-mail in the ‘Linux’ Foundation (using a trademark he controls)?

LOL, I missed the inane ramblings of Roy Schestowitz.

@brauner it's just a random person with a lot of bad takes and a huge hatred for LF (some of it justified, if you approach everything from the free software purist point of view, but most of it is just taking everything in bad faith). I don't want to link to his site, but if you search for his name, you'll find where that article came from.

I only know about it because it blipped on the "kernel.org media mentions" alert that I have.

@monsieuricon You missed him...? I had to tune him out a while back, I really just couldn't handle it anymore...

@corbet Oof, I can only imagine! I didn't really "miss" him, I just haven't run into him ever since I'd stopped visiting the blue site.

I was mostly amused by the mental picture that someone could "pry Pine out of Linus's hands and force him to use webmail."

@monsieuricon @corbet I don't know what was more painful for the brain - "read" his "post" (let's "quote" everything because "why not"?) or try to navigate through the amazing user-interface of his few websites.
