I bet they just ran out of nine sided platonic solids to use for packaging.

Reply to Linus Torvalds made an actual legit apology for his abusive behaviours and is taking time off to find assistance for it by hollyhoppet
I didn't read the whole of Torvalds' post as I zoned out from the technical details, but the apology basically oozes Finnishness at every point. Lack of emotional intelligence or plain old disagreeableness is not by any means a national characteristic, but a brand of earnestness and directness is.

it would honestly be so awesome if linux kernel dev was someday a functional free software project instead of a horrible black hole of human suffering

yea this is so affirming to have some proof of this, also every time computers get faster it just gives programmers an excuse to use a more bloated framework adn the performance evens out

I've read the original write up by Luu himself earlier, but honestly I think this is a better for everyone but the most nerdy of us.

Reply to Appalachians are slow to adopt new technology for a surprising (and refreshing) reason by Moonside
Honestly a pretty refreshing take indeed. A lot of takes on the topic, pro or contra, assume that people not like them just don't have the information and are somehow deluding themselves. This veers a bit too much on the anti side too me, but hearing about real people's opinions and not one projected upon them from outside saviors is good.
