Fuck Linus.

[-] Geodad@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

Why do people still think he's relevant?

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

Because he has 16 million subscribers? 🤔

[-] Geodad@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

That's not a valid reason.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago

It's what makes him relevant. Your personal feelings are not a valid reason.

[-] Geodad@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

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. 🤷‍♂️

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 4 points 5 months ago

They're not. And you know they're not.

[-] Geodad@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I don't know anything about him since I stopped following him. The only thing I know is that he's not trustworthy.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 5 months ago

Ok so now we've moved the goalposts from "relevant" to "trustworthy"?

[-] Geodad@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Catalyst_A@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

I didn't know about it and just looked up the gamers nexus video. Bless gamers nexus for having our backs.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 22 points 5 months ago

never gonna watch the "Idiot's" channel of choice

[-] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

I have Linus blocked in my frontend and have no interest in unblocking.

[-] upstroke4448@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago

I think if people look past the clickbait title and thumbnail the video is actually a positive for GOS

[-] Fleur_@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Why are you letting someone you don't like take up time in your life

[-] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Oh no, not this tech illiterate idiot again. Ocasionally he shows up in some threads just making a complete fool of himself.
