Linus Torvalds Comments On STIBP & He's Not Happy - STIBP Default Will End Up Changing

I kinda suspected it. I was waiting for the middle finger, but alas we have less of the colorful character nowdays.
I don't like it in general when security fixes for broken hardware make it deep into core.
Especially ones that have large and unpredictable performance penalties. All because of security fiat.
I'd like it if Linux had a big fat naglist for really stupid hardware as a non-avoidable text output.
I'm not talking about peripheral stuff. But CPU's. PCIe controllers. Block device controllers. Etc.
That way nobody forgets until their crap is fixed.

Even if you don't care much for the benchmarks, it's still a good place to find news. And a "lifetime" subscription is what, about the cost of a pair of shoes?
I regularly click some ads though.

Opinionated, you mean "knowledgeable"?
"ironically, attention-seeking" - never thought about that actually. And if I really were, I'd find another avenue. And being notorious among Linux users? WTF, are you even serious? It's like being famous among hobos. Yes, it's a sort of insult but your reply was a pure insult in the first place because it egregiously misrepresented facts.
Still, fuck off. At least I made Linus notice the issue. You, petty fuckers at Phoronix, may keep on upvoting your insults towards me as much as you want. Most of you bloody suckers haven't done anything for Linux or open source in your entire useless life and you hate everyone with a brain who notices issues with your OS which most people in the world couldn't care less about.
Well, thank you.

Thanks for your efforts, Michael. While I'm not a fan of every benchmark of yours, I still disable the adblocker on non-mobile devices because you often do a great job otherwise.

Glad to see Linux saying essentially what i have been saying here and many trolls called me an idiot, moronic, etc. Take that trolls...

This new CoC in ass Linus seems to not be getting respected by his 50% performance cutting under-comrades. Who could see that coming?
Everyone.
