2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    People always call Linus Torvalds an asshole, but I've yet to see anything from him that didn't make sense. And the fact that he eventually took community feedback and decided to take time off to deal with his anger issues is commendable.

    Linus TT can go and fuck itself though.

    He’s definitely a fuck your feelings type. No nonsense and sometimes harsh but like you said it’s almost always justified. I’ll take that over fake ass, greedy LTT Linus β€œoops I got caught so now I’ll apologize or try to hide it and then apologize” any day of the week.

    Only an asshole when talking about contributing to Linux from what I've seen

    [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 89 points 1 week ago

    That may be, don't think I've heard him talk about anything else. One of my favorite clips ever is his message to nvidia. Some things are worth being angry about. And because of his angry public reaction, I became aware of nvidia's anti-FOSS efforts. So it's not all bad imo.

    You spend all your adult life nurturing a baby like the Linux kernel, a lot of it unpaid, and you'll be a bit touchy about what goes into it too.

    Torvalds is a C programmer who didn't even consider himself accomplished until he made Git, long after Linux.

    Sebastian is a warehouse manager who still thinks he's better than everyone else because he worked at ~~NZXT~~ NCIX lol.

    LTT needs Emily back in front of the camera to provide a proper Linux perspective.

    [–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 week ago

    I pretty much stopped watching after Emily stopped being on camera and unsubbed entirely after the harassment and overworking allegations came out.

    And I'm not even a Linux person 99% of the time! I do run a home server, but my daily driver is windows. Emily was just one of the only people on the channel that not only seemed to know exactly what she was talking about, but also didn't behave like a total tech dude bro the entire time

    Emily left a couple months ago

    Needed to search who Emily is. I was totally out of the loop.

    Yeah she was the best.

    Linus Torvalds is still a Git

    [–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    At least he wasn’t caught promoting a browser extension that turned out to be a huge scam that stole money from both regular people and other content creators trying to earn some affiliate revenue.

    [–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 47 points 1 week ago (5 children)

    A lot of creators were tricked into that. The problematic part was that they realized the issue and completely went silent about the issue instead of raising awareness of the scam. Alerting about that fact would have been a great tech tip.

    [–] Agent641@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

    Linus Tech Tips is just one of many distros that run on the Linus Media Group kernal

    Honestly I didn't really care about the allegations until Steve Burke alleged that Linus told him he's "less autistic then he used to be". Its also annoying how he clearly has a superiority complex.

    [–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world -5 points 6 days ago

    They're a bunch of Windows power-user clowns cosplaying as tech experts.
