Comment Thanks Linus For Telling Them (Score 1) 215
It is refreshing to still have some real humans among us, who do not need to carefully avoid touching corporate interests when it comes to expressing a personal opinion. The open source community needs to be told the straight truth from time to time, and personally I would not be offended if he would have used the same words to criticize my own work. Actually, I would have fun imagining myself being part of a group of masturbating monkeys. :-)
While we should try to talk friendly to users, a bit of humor and stronger expressions are the urgently needed salt'n peppa in a decent conversation between developers.
The IT security industry was always sick, but it managed to gain much more importance recently, because the world felt into a period of stupid fear some years ago. I really hope some day we can start to do constructive and serious security based on proven risk management principles and facts again.
What's feeding my wallet, is often not right, though.
Greetings,
Chris
