Same with hostels by the way. Back in the day when I did most of my (basically tramp style) backpacking there were all these cheap nice hostels where you basically couldn’t complain and also would not because you knew these were not run with a commercial mindset.
These days not so much, but I guess I am becoming an old cynic 😑

IIUC ‘in the heart of every cynic lies a disappointed idealist’, in any case the relation between the two is worth keeping an eye out for
Reminds me of a tweet I saw once:
Unlike you jaded pessimists I still have the ability to feel optimistic about something even after a lifetime of disappointment. And you know why? Because I’m stupid.
Maybe instead of Torvalds taking lessons on how to be less of an asshole, he should be teaching developers how to be more like him.
He’s doing the right thing and softening his responses to be more welcoming to new contributors, but it’s still totally understandable when any open source dev loses patience. We have thousands of requests coming at us from all angles and no one has infinite patience.
I think that falls under “Burnout Management”
There are thousands of you and me who work around the clock to prevent the internet from blowing up all the time.
A lot of people can’t handel the constant stress, terrible hours, it takes a toll on each of us.
Softening responses, good for sure, but the demands put on the pioneers of tech, much respect – we wouldn’t be where we are without them in spite of their very real human limitations. Much props for their daily self sacrifice.
Going to throw in Open source is not about you as a relevant related read.
Well written, it would deserve a separate post.
Thanks.
The subtitle should be “absolutely fucking nothing”
Anti Commercial AI thingy
