From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The stuff me and my friends have written in private code bases we worked on before... Now those were some words we used. could never make anything like that public these days, too much softies would go crazy because of it.
Oh please. This comment has the same energy as Dave Chappelle doing a whole Netflix special about how he's been cancelled.
It reads to me like someone trying to build a persona that Elon would like.
no? It was just normal common stuff... Pretending like standards Haven't changed, even if just for code comments, is just plain dumb.
🤡
Everything in the video is considered acceptable in open source code today. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have been right there in the code for the person making the video to find it.
I'm not sure how that related to what I said. I didn't say the video had any stuff like that, nor did I imply it.
You are so revolutionary. Much edgy, very wow.
There's literally nothing edgy about it. Standards change, that's not edgy.
// retarded shit, remove on next update
One of the ones we had to take out. I'm still mad because it wasn't even that bad. It was a massive really long function that should have been refectored but kept getting put off. The comment was along the lines of
// TODO: take this fat bitch to the gym later.
Had to get removed because insensitive, well the function finally got refactored at least lol.
