@linusgsebastian @adamcrowder I can only speak for myself, but I only thought there was a normal difference of opinion over normal employment issues.

[Michael Redig @mredig]

@linusgsebastian @adamcrowder Obviously I know very little about what happened behind the scenes. My only point is that, publicly, it’d be good to maintain respect, especially from the position of power you have.

I’ve always respected how you maintain your principles and stood up for the little guy.

[Michael Redig @mredig]

@adamcrowder @linusgsebastian Yeah, let’s punch down.

It comes down to respect in the end. Most of the time I see Linus act with respect. Most employee feedback I’ve seen that has been critical has still been respectful. However, sometimes Linus lashes out where he could either just be kinder or quiet.

[Michael Redig @mredig]

@adamcrowder @linusgsebastian I didn’t say he didn’t earn it. He did. It’s impressive. He deserves every penny of his success. But it’s cruel to belittle the negative experiences some former employees had.

Hence, getting out of touch with his roots.

@elonmusk Interestingly, while we can post and say anything online, courtrooms require this little thing called “evidence”

@StewartLynch I have not updated, but I switched to Ice back when bartender sold out. Maybe try that?

@widged @ashleygjovik I was also going to suggest deepseek, ideally run locally.

@jyzg @joshuapekera Sorry my question was cut off!

Anyways, I was meaning to ask why jpeg xl/flif wasn’t serviceable for the use case provided by lava.

@twistedsentrywx @OldManLefty1 He never implied that the fault was with NOAA...

@LinusTech @FallonTonight @toddowyoung Just wanted to capture this moment for you guys:

@Heavyshark1 @krzyzanowskim Me too :)

[Michael Redig @mredig]

@Heavyshark1 @krzyzanowskim And while I grant that some of those restrictions are for safety, many also restrict innovation. Let me test those wild, crazy things in the land of the free to show Apple where to open up their ecosystem for App Store apps to allow for new apis for the less nerdy folks.

[Michael Redig @mredig]

@Heavyshark1 @krzyzanowskim That allows the safety and simplicity most people desire while also allowing nerdy device owners true freedom. It also technically enables app developers to create without many arbitrary restrictions the App Store imposes.
