  • He moved from Sweden to Silicon Valley, made a bunch of money, but came to hate the “limousine liberal” culture, and felt he was severely discriminated against (in a professional sense) as a hetero white man.

    So he left California, got sober, and went full time FOSS developer.

    He is an asshole because he now enforces a strict “anti-woke” policy among his contributors, and bans anyone who falls out of line. It’s one thing to ban controversial or political topics, but his interpretation takes things way past any semblance of reason.

    A wild one i remember was when he banned someone for using singular they in some documentation, which has been a part of the English language since the Norman period at least. He said it was “political language”.



  • Motorcycles get much better mileage than gas cars. Most cars on the road carry only a single person during Rush Hour. Motorcycles create much less pollution and traffic in those situations. A typical motorcycle tends to get double the fuel economy of a typical gas car. A gas car only comes out ahead if you carpool with more than 2 people, which almost nobody does.

    As a pedestrian, getting hit by a motorcycle going 30 km/h is much less lethal than being hit by a car going 30 km/h. the amount of kinetic energy is a fraction of that of a car

    At least in my area, motorcyclists are on average safer drivers than BMWs or Teslas, probably even safer than average. At least they bother to signal most of the time.

    You have some points but some of your arguments are totally untrue.
