TL:DW It's a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus's views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.

The video is long, but it's a good listen.

What alternative was there? This is such a disingenuous take.

    You just claimed Linus was pro-union, when all of us have watched the videos of him ranting about his distain for unions and saying they're unnecessary.

    Forgive me if I don't take your critique at face value.

    Show me the proof where he said he is anti-union.

    Dude, get real.

    Do you think I saved the video titles and timestamps for his anti-union comments?

    I watched his content religiously for years, and it looks like you still do, which means I know you're lying.

    But I definitely don't care enough about this to spend the next 8 hours digging through his old videos to find the various clips just to prove it to you on Lemmy.

    Tell you what though, if you go find me proof of his pro-union stance, I'll be happy to take that into consideration.

    For all anyone knows reading your comments you are either fabricating or twisting something said to fit your narrative. If you can’t or won’t find a source for your claims, that is totally fine, but I’m calling bs on those claims.

    Does that also apply to your claims that he's pro-union?

    Yeah, burden of proof is on me there.

    If I felt like this was a genuine discussion, I might try to dig up clips of him talking about it, but at this point I feel like I’d just be talking to a wall.

    You probably would be, because again, I have seen him on multiple different videos making anti-union comments.

    But, depending on how vocally he was supportive of unions in any clips you showed, I could be persuaded to think better of him.

    But it would be insane for you to spend hours of your life digging them up for that purpose, which is good for you because I don't think they even exist, so I'm giving you an out to pretend that they do.

    11 hours of silence after this one lol, I guess even with proof they just didn't want to change their mind

    The playbook is generally to move the goalposts afterwards, but I’ve been surprised on Lemmy before so who knows? It takes a lot more energy to refute someone’s claims than it does to make them, so if a discussion is happening in bad faith it’s really not worth having.
