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.
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
Needed to search who Emily is. I was totally out of the loop.
Yeah she was the best.
Sorry about that. I don't know the right way to reference a trans person who was famous under their former identity but not their real one.
Me neither, I think the best approach is to use the new identity always, if the person is interested they can search for it.

People probably know Anthony. They are the same person.
I know people know "Anthony;" I was just uncertain of the appropriateness of mentioning that name.
Also, LOL at this comment on the video:

Oh thank god. I thought you were going to say you started using Windows.
Linus Torvalds is still a Git
At least he wasnβt 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.
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.
I think they were not aware of the scam that screwed over users at the time, only the one that screwed themselves over
He wrote a kernel that is free, widely considered as secure and paves a way for secure computer interaction among the general public. A tremendous accomplishment.
He may be abrasive and unkind but the Linux kernel has been a real positive contribution to all.

Uhm aktchewally, its the GNU-Linus Tech Tip system, a complete free software advice and content engine
Linus Tech Tips is just one of many distros that run on the Linus Media Group kernal

juicy new controversy with ltt?
Steve called out LTT for knowing about the Honey marketing scam but not saying anything because it would harm his business (This isn't speculation. Linus said it publicly.) LTT called for peace with Gamer's Nexus using the veiled threat that Gamer's Nexus comments are causing material harm to his business.
Steve responded by posting an old text exchange he had with Linus regarding a LTT Wan show that copied a Gamer's Nexus video without even mentioning they they were using Gamer's Nexus script (almost identical in topic order, format and words) for their show. If Steve was a serious business instead of a fan running a channel as a business, that's where lawyers would have been brought in to sue LTT. Instead Steve only asked for acknowledgment- which Linus never gave.
Could be mistaken, but supposedly Linus knew about the part where Honey was screwing over affiliates (like himself), and claims that was public-enough knowledge in the creator community at the time that he didnβt feel compelled to say more, not the part where Honey was screwing over customers, too. Also, didnβt he credit Steve via a pinned comment to that video?
The part about honey is a complete misread of the facts. There were posts on the LTT forum about honey scamming creators, and Linus himself said that within the creator community he thought the news got around enough to not warrant a video about it.
So many linux people have a hate boner for the guy because he's got a prickly personality and makes videos for the unwashed masses, but he still has integrity.
