Fuck Linus.
Why do people still think he's relevant?
Because he has 16 million subscribers? 🤔
That's not a valid reason.
It's what makes him relevant. Your personal feelings are not a valid reason.
They could be bots or socks, he could have paid for them. He did have a scandal where he lost a lot of followers (me included).
That doesn't make him relevant. 🤷♂️
They're not. And you know they're not.
I don't know anything about him since I stopped following him. The only thing I know is that he's not trustworthy.
Ok so now we've moved the goalposts from "relevant" to "trustworthy"?
Not really. He's neither.
It certainly feels like GrapheneOS is the only project that is a threat to the government, which we all know have unlimited resources at their disposal, unlike Graphene Foundation.
this narrative that criminals use this OS, is exactly the excuse they'll be looking for, the privacy community don't have the high ground in this reality that we live in, considering past events (e.g. chat control) this content does more harm than good. (but some YouTuber has to get their Ad revenue)
he mentioned something about convenience in the last part, well if you throw them some money.. they could hire someone to fix those issues..
well if you throw them some money… they could hire someone to fix those issues…
Even better... Hire someone to fix those issues and submit an MR.
I think Gamer Nexus settled the matter of Linus' value - feel free to disregard and move on.
I didn't know about it and just looked up the gamers nexus video. Bless gamers nexus for having our backs.
never gonna watch the "Idiot's" channel of choice
I have Linus blocked in my frontend and have no interest in unblocking.
I think if people look past the clickbait title and thumbnail the video is actually a positive for GOS
Why are you letting someone you don't like take up time in your life
Oh no, not this tech illiterate idiot again. Ocasionally he shows up in some threads just making a complete fool of himself.
idiot's
What in the clickety bait
