All to say it's a major bummer his cool work is tainted by his dehumanizing words and I wonder if he understands how he comes off to people.
I don't interact w/ Twitter so I can't speak to anything he's written there.
The whimsy of the PalmOS work really clashes with the incessant racism and hate.
I'd wager he doesn't use X.
I actually like his writing style. I think he just speaks his mind in full honesty and you should not interpret it as aggressivity.
Your parent comment gave a paraphrased example of discrimination against a group, not a person.
> you should not interpret it as aggressivity
Your parent comment didn’t describe it as aggressive, they described it as dehumanising. There is a colossal difference between the two. Patton Oswalt demonstrates:

Note: I don’t have a Twitter account nor have I ever encountered Dimitry’s writing, so I’m not commenting either way, but if you want to refute/contradict/disagree what your parent comment said, it’s important to respond to the point they made, not different ones.
As a fellow embedded dev, I smile every time one of his projects shows up on HN. He's really talented. But c'mon, dude.
Frankly, that includes you, too.
You can't hang out at the Nazi Bar and complain about all the Nazis.
