In the next installment of “Kill Your Heroes,” Linus Torvalds (who doesn’t write Linux kernel code anymore), gives a full endorsement of the use of proprietary software to generate computer documents.

Using Google Antigravity (which is just a reskin of Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code product) he created a GUI in python. His excuse is that he didn’t know how to write Python to create a user interface, being the egocentric millionaire who worships the US and hates Russia, he somehow could not find anyone in the world who would be willing to help “the Linus Torvalds” make a user interface or hire someone to do it for him. kitty-birthday-sad

Imagine being a millionaire and being so lonely and defeated that you can’t find anyone to help you write part of your hobby project. doggirl-lol He should try abusing people on the mailing list again, that should help.

Phoronix article that summarizes this

  • Linus Torvalds’ elevation to nerd godhood was only thanks to his relatively private existence in the shadow of Windows and Bill Gates until now.

    Linux being an underdog has done well to mislead people into thinking that Linus cares about software freedom or other political ambitions, rather than simply relating to the material conditions in which Linux operates. If Linux and Windows were swapped in market share tomorrow We could guarantee that Linus would direct every developer and his project into producing a carbon copy of Windows 11, just with more C code and penguins.

    Even so, the thing that made Linux such an important tool in divesting oneself from Microsoft, will become the thing that makes it easy to divest from the penguin imperialist in chief. There are already binary compatible kernels which are ready to usurp Linux if it does not rid itself of capitalist influence, and many more will follow.
