Hi, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as:
57% Lee-nux
7% Lye-nux
35% jag uttalar Linux ”Linux”, din okänsliga klud

I lived long enough to see American troops roll out a red carpet for Putin on their knees. I’m definitely surviving out of spite as a veteran at this point.

Even if I had a time machine, and even if I could bring this picture back to 2015 — even then, I could not explain to anyone that in the future, a convicted felon would become president of the USA, and he would invite wanted war criminal Vladimir Putin to Alaska to debate the future for our ally Ukraine — WITHOUT Ukraine present.

A few might believe I was from the future, but NO ONE would believe the picture of these two criminals in front of Air Force One was real.

A twice impeached convicted felon is meeting with a war criminal who usurped power and literally killed off opposition.

What a world to live in.

Happy Yebanina Day.

This thread is popcorn.gif, but not for the usual reasons that kernel mailing list threads are popcorn.gif:

People raise many good points regarding the legality and implications of adding AI-sourced code into the kernel.

Hmm... the alt copy-paste failed to take, so here it is:

To: helpdesk

Don't eat and drink everything, even that is the minimum. You want guns and laws and that's the minimum. Do not look at me weapons and laws and that is the minimum. Don't have sex, that's the minimum. Neznäsfecujte zbranou aj to je minimum . Neznäsfecujte informacie aj to je minimum. Neznäsfecujte armadu, policiu, tajne aj to je minimum. Neznäsfecujte mobile čisla , socialne siete aj to je minimum. Neznäsfecujte drogami aj to je minimum. Prysne tane nie je maximum aj to je minimum.

I swear, I get the weirdest sh*t at this email address sometimes.

(But it sounds like a song by Bob Dylan. Or his Slovak counterpart. Bob Dylanov?)

I'm marking two round dates this August.

I left Russia to move to the US in August 1995, 30 years ago this month.

I left the US to move to Canada in August 2005, 20 years ago this month.

In both cases, I only had personal reasons for the move, but looking back it feels like I was fleeing the countries that were slowly spiralling into becoming belligerent fascist dictatorships.

I'm pretty sure I can run Tesla into the ground for a lot less than $30 billion dollars. Let me know where I should send my CV.

@pdp7 for kernel work, I usually refommend fastmail. Migadu has some outgoing mail throttling that can make it difficult to send large patch series.
