Git is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Here's why Torvalds never intended for it to stick around.

        I mean, let’s be thorough. He’s

        • the rich scion
        • of a family that made their fortune owning and exploiting emerald mines
        • in South Africa
        • during apartheid

        Kinda tells you all you need to know about him and his family.

        Also his dad fucked and married (edit: correction (side note: fuck me, somehow it was WAY weirder than I had remembered):) fathered not one, but TWO children with his own stepdaughter. No, I’m not kidding.

        Edit 2: nope, they married in the 90s too! You can’t make this shit up.

                Yep.

                Also, I want to point out that it was actually worse and weirded than I had remembered: i don’t think they’re married, but they’ve had two kids together, and one of them was intentional.

                Yep.

                Wow.

                Edit: hahahahahaha fucking hell they got married in the 90s too
