Especially as, having listened to most of his early stuff (love the riffs, hate the words), he's at best written two songs.

Just loaded slashdot - the site threw an 'error' and cheerfully guided me how to solve the problem by disabling all my ad and tracked blockers.

Never going there again. What a shame

I've just hit point where I realise my grand part organisation plan is going to end up with a parts case dedicated to the spare deviders *just in case* I ever need to change absolutely everything.

Sorry, trying to apply levity where it's not wanted. Some people will take against not through fault of your own but fault of their own, and though it can hurt when their poor treatment of you is the side effect, it is not your fault. Do not feel you should try to appease them, they have already made that a metric they don't want you to suceed

@mcc @bmartin427

@farah Explain you're their mum and you love them and they will put their socks in the wash dammit

Sorry, double checked my references. This was my core, I misread some vehemence for hate. https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/

Since then he's playing with vibe coding in a limited, and most importantly, nowhere near the the kernel. This is in keeping with my own experience that it can be useful in small and limited use cases, but for me at least the real world costs massively outweigh the minor convenience.

Sorry, should have checked my receipts before running my mouth.
