I have some newfound respect for the man, it seems. Not that I didn’t respect him earlier, just thought that his toxicity was the defining trait of his temper. I find these takes somehow mellow the image in my mind.
The man is a swedish speaking Finn originally, it kinda comes with the territory. We might technically be a minority but we’re still as Finnish as the rest of them (to a certain degree at least).
That’s fair, but the result seems to be the same; he’s nowhere near as caustic when interacting with people as he used to be. I had quite a lot of sympathy with the message in most of his technical rants, but the delivery was counterproductive. If he’s changed that I think he’s done well.

I think even he realized his tocicity was a problem a few years ago, so he took time out to work on that and seems much more balanced now.
It’s unkown whether he improved his temper or whether he just built a very good mail filter for himself though.

Isn’t that comment pretty toxic though, even if it’s toxic for the viewpoint that (I suppose) you support?
I mean I agree 100% with what he’s saying too, and also how he’s saying it, but I wouldn’t call this exactly mild.
It’s all relative. With Linus, with what I have been exposed to, this does give a milder impression, can’t really explain why though.
