Martin was out of line.
Hellwig also was out of line and unnecessarily hostile.
Linus... Is the voice of reason? Though I would have preferred he rebuke Hellwig in the same breath.
It's a strange 2025.
Martin has nearly always been like this. Ive known martin from way way way back when he worked on the wii and he has always been a guy that just causes drama by pointing and saying "this is shit. Look at this shit". It isnt a bad thing to do, but the way he does it is basically going to somebody's home with a sledgehammer and smashing a wall without checking in. It turns people away from you even if youre right.
He had a beef and drama with me, devkitpro, gbatemp.
Then he stopped being on my radar, heard he was working on asahi, then heard he was causing drama between emulation devs, then luois rossman, and now bloody linus torvalds?
sigh
Yeah you only get to do that if you're Linus 😄
You only get to do that if you’re the founder and leader of a project. If you join other people’s projects then you play by their rules, not your own.
