@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."

@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.

> 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.

@ljs Right, well, I'm afraid I'm not nearly as qualified to talk about systems of governance as I am about systems of delivering end-to-end messaging. ;)

@ljs The important test is not just "how well does it work," but also "how well does it fail." We've not yet built a system for unrestricted global communication that fails as well as email.

@ljs well, you can also buy a bunch of confirmed Instagram accounts for something like $0.03 a pop, so I doubt this will actually make any marked difference.
The (sad) truth is, for a decentralized non-opt-in communication platform, email is as good as it gets.

@ljs ActivityPub, for example, is going to get just as bad as mail today, because it allows non-opt-in communication. If someone adds your AP instance to some kind of "fediblock list" out there, you'll never get it off either.

@ljs It's just an illusion that mail is broken because it's the communication medium that's been the most abused for the past 40 years. Every other means of communication where you don't need prior opt-in is either already just as terrible, or will become just as terrible after a decade of spammer abuse.

Heh, and now I can't submit another removal request for the next 24 hours, even though I never received their spammy confirmation mail.
Please don't use cloudmark.com -- they are terrible at this.

New level of irony -- an "IP reputation" company that has put one of our mail hosts on the "spam list" sends HTML-only mail that triggers a score of 10 from SpamAssassin.

Pet peeve -- when OS-packaged software checks for new releases (e.g. by fetching latest tags from GH) and nags you to update it. If you add this feature in, please add some kind of check to only enable it for when the end-user has control over such things (or don't add it at all, because this is always annoying).
