This is your daily reminder that Linus Torvalds is responsible for one of the biggest fuck-ups in the history of the entire IT industry.

There is a cult of personality surrounding this man and consequently he has a following of buttbuddy fanboys who just won't stop sucking him off. They literally won't stop sticking his cock in their mouths and sucking him off. Even if you paid them to do so. As surely as the Sun will set and the Moon will rise, Linus fanboys will be sucking him off tomorrow. They will literally line up for hours like they're waiting for a rock concert, just so that they can stick his cock in their mouth and performatively swallow at the next IT conference that he attends.

I challenge all of the Linus fanboys to name just one person in the entire IT industry, in the entirety of history, who is responsible for a bigger fuck-up than the kernel copy-fail exploit (CVE-2026-31431).

Give me just one example. I'll wait.

It's an LPE. It's only a big deal if you already do something insane, like running untrusted native code on your server without a VM boundary. For everyone else it's only a lateral movement concern (e.g. escaping containers that were already compromised). Almost any RCE bug is a bigger deal than this.

I don't get how I would be affected. Will visiting a site simply give access to my filesystem? Probably not. They patched it, so non-issue
