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.

Yes there is, I did some research as I never cared overly much about the CoC outrage. I found someone hammering on Coraline(?) or whatever her name is and they linked to a thread. In her own words she stated that she doesn't care about personal views as long as they aren't publicly connected to the project. There is 100% middle ground, just not with the white male persecution complex jackasses such as yourself.
This is a watershed moment for the US, you regressive xenophobic assholes are finally being forced to have some responsibility for your actions. Cover it up with all the "meritocracy" and "code doesn't care" bullshit you want, the truth is that you're hateful childish little shits that don't want to take responsibility for anything. The internet ruined you by enabling and normalizing anonymous shit posting. Now communities are pushing back by trying to bring normal human civilization into some small corners of the net, and you can only whinge about it.
Grow up you child.

Racism, sexism, presuming both race and gender, ageism, ableism, the list goes on. The depth and level of your gross and wide-ranging bigotry and prejudice, all exhibited in this post, is literally beyond counting.
