No, I guess that would take too much effort, and wouldn't result in such a click-bait headline "LTS kernels are no longer supported for 6 years because it turns out no one used them." doesn't have that same fun sound...

Calling people names won't change much. Although I sympathized with Linus' message in some of his comments, its form was, let's be frank, hard to tolerate. If you had a workmate who was highly competent but would scream at you "what is this brainfucked shit" etc., I guess it wouldn't be a nice place to work. At least I personally avoid such people and in the worst cases just leave. And I'm saing this in spite of the fact I admire Linus and agree with the actual contents of his inflammatory posts.
> Open source is now woke. That's all.
"Open source" is a wide term. You are right that there are many especially younger developers, and especially from the USA who are emphasizing certain aspects like inclusivity etc. I agree that the effects of their efforts might be debatable but saying "open source is now woke" is an overstatement. Not to mention that many projects are run by old-timers who not necessarily agree with whatever is en vogue now but don't consider it necessary to make all their views public.
Lunduke has been picking so many fights, I'm a bit lost as to whether I should pay attention or not. Sure, it doesn't seem great, but the Linux foundation putting money in other areas of the ecosystem is hardly a good point. Show us a real breakdown, instead of a gratuitous Linux kernel expenditure vs not-Linux kernel expenditure.
The Linux Foundatiom should an engineers-first organization.
The leadership team breakdown shows me it’s full of MBAs specializing in “on a computer”.
Did anyone think to actually ask the developer who is maintaining the LTS kernel versions why he made that change (back in February?), i.e. me? {sigh} No, I guess that would take too much effort, and wouldn't result in such a click-bait headline "LTS kernels are no longer supported for 6 years because it turns out no one used them." doesn't have that same fun sound...

We just never called it woke back in the 1990/2000's ;)

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Open source has always been about people from all walks of life coming and working together. We just never called it woke back in the 1990/2000's ;)
But there were just 2 genders in 1990/2000.
2, Hermaphrodite & Intersex have been around for a looooooooong time. as I assume you mean sex (languages changes, gender these days doesn't mean physical/biological sex anymore)
3, your nick is pretty relevant in this case.
Of course I'm open to debate point 2, as I can surely be wrong. but it still has nothing to do with this conversation ;)
