I remember 5 years ago when Linus said he would work to show more restraint in swearing out vendors… and it’s just hit me how well that worked. He didn’t use a single swear word–in English or Finnish–and kept his negative sentiment focused on the implementation, rather than the people who did it, or their intelligence.

I still agree with his sentiment towards Nvidia.

So your issue with him is his emotional intelligence, but you lack the emotional intelligence to separate content from vocabulary. You admit that you would prefer to believe incorrect information just because it came from someone who says things in ways you don’t like. That is an astounding amount of irony.

In honor of Linus and his decades of beneficial development work on an open Linux kernel, constituting an immense body of works that has benefited all of society in measurable ways, I respectfully, honorably, and kindly implore you to shut the fuck up and stay in your lane, bitch.

If a leader cannot make public communications with respect, the content of the message is irrelevant.

So that’s not a rational view. Linus’s style is irrelevant; you need to see if he is correct as that’s all that matters really in deciding whether or not to dismiss his arguments. This goes for everyone from Aristotle to Andrew Tate.
If he’s wrong in 99% of cases then sure, it’s reasonable to dismiss him based purely on time constraints. But if he’s rude and correct in 99% of cases then you need to listen up.
