At Open Source Summit Europe in Scotland, Linus Torvalds is meeting with Linux's top 40 or so developers at the Maintainers' Summit. This is his first step back in taking over Linux's reins.
A little over a month ago, Torvalds stepped back from running the Linux development community. In a note to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), Torvalds said, "I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely. I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately."
That time is over. Torvalds is back.
He's a quick study if it only took him a month to learn how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately.

The first step in learning how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately involved using a real word processor.

Bah. I use Compose, <, " and Compose, >, " when I want typographical quotes and am typing somewhere that won't run through LaTeX. Also be aware! You can get typographical single quotes with Compose, <, ' and Compose, >, ', however! HOWEVER! God damn it! Fuck Microsoft Office and Wordpress. Compose, <, ' (aka ‘ or "‘") IS NOT A GODDAMN APOSTROPHE! The apostrophe is generally found in the right side of the keyboard near enter and requires no modifier keys when using a US layout at least. The apostrophe looks like this: '.
Thank you.

Pretty sure he could already do annoyance, irritation, and anger.
