(Lemmy original meme fr)
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 “oops I got caught so now I’ll apologize or try to hide it and then apologize” any day of the week.
What's wrong with LTT?
There are very few things right.
Worker abuse, sexual harassment, blatant disregard with the truth, stealing review equipment from small companies, returning said equipment damaged when threatened legal action…
The only good thing about it is that they dress their lies in pretty videos.
If you want a tech channel that is actually worth your time, check out Gamers Nexus. I’m not even a gamer but their content drags me in and their commitment to the truth is what all other technical publications should have.
He's an imbecile and knows nothing about tech. I watched him interconnect buildings then run Windows file transfer to test it. You know, instead of a legitimate tool like iperf. He constantly gets shit wrong about linux as others pointed out. Videos I saw on Android TV boxes were also extremely inaccurate so he could push Google's product. Like literally everything he does with linux and android is dumb as fuck. I thought at least he was accurate with the gaming industry videos as I don't know enough about it. But then that gamernexus video dropped and I was like holy shit... this guy can't do anything right.
I watched him interconnect buildings then run Windows file transfer to test it.
If you're mainly going to use a network connection to transfer files between Windows computers, then transferring files between Windows computers is going to be the most accurate benchmark possible.
If you're testing throughput of a network then you use a tool that tests throughput. Want to know why he didn't? He's probably never heard of iperf because he's a fraud. Windows file transfer is not accurate and can be effected by drive speeds. It's insane to me how dumb some people are that watch his videos. That now includes you. The brain rot his channel has caused is real, I can't imagine saying windows file transfer is an accurate measure of throughput, lmao. You're an imbecile. This is exactly why I say LTT has done more harm to the tech community than anything. He has you believing windows file transfer is a legitimate measure of throughput! Ahahahahaha!
And the fact he would be running Windows tells you all you need to know about his tech expertise. Windows is a joke of an OS with laughable workflows and no customization. Dude is a warehouse employee that got a cult YouTube following from dropping hardware, he knows nothing about tech. Almost every video I've watched of his has me cringing over his incompetence, it's insane someone that gets so much constantly wrong has amassed such a following. But I guess, most people are just really that dumb, and punchable face thumbnails with click bait titles are enough to gain subs.
Their entire purpose for installing the interconnect was for transferring video files for editing. If that's the only thing it's going to be used for, there is no better test than doing exactly that. Iperf isn't going to tell you the windows file transfer speed, only Windows file transfers will.
I hate the guy too. He's a smarmy jackass that thinks he knows everything. I can't stand watching him. Unfortunately even idiots get things right on occasion. This was one of those times.
And transferring huge video files for editing using Windows file transfer is equally moronic to using it as a tool to measure throughput. If that's actually thier workflow, they are bigger imbeciles than I could ever imagine. And so are you for thinking that's okay.
When you run a new line, and you want to specifically test that line.... which is what he stated, you use iperf.
You can try and defend it all you want but all you're doing is proving that you don't know shit. You think a test that has more variables, is less repeatable, and less accurate is the best test... you're just as incompetent
Wow, you're almost as full of yourself as Linus. Have a nice day!
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.
NCIX = NZXT?
Linus Torvalds is still a Git
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.

LTT needs Emily back in front of the camera to provide a proper Linux perspective.
Context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-owBhLGaH4
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:
@jeffc3051 1 year ago
Oh thank god. I thought you were going to say you started using Windows.
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
I miss Emily. She was amazing.
Emily left a couple months ago
Did she mention why? I was expecting her to start doing videos again at some point...
What's wrong with LTT?
Long story short, he's an ignorant asshole. Sorry I don't have enough time atm to list all the detaills lol. Gamer Nexus recently made another post about him and his company which was also going around on lemmy.
Edit: someone else made a good summary https://lemmy.zip/comment/13100245

Tbh, whether GN is right or not I do find his reporting practices kinda wack. Not asking for comment before a video is put out is disengenuous even if the response. Regardless of what a response to that would be I think it's fair to ask for comment at least
Previously they did reach out privately (like when LTT plagiarised GN) but after Linus said something negative about GN publicly unwarranted, they had a fallout and everything is done publicly now. Seems fair to me and he always reaches out to other companies first before making a report from what I can see. I don't remember what the drama was about but something to do with testing a product when LTT made a mistake and got too defensive when they got called out.
Edit: found a comment explaining that with bit more detail https://lemmy.zip/comment/13100245
It is a little sus that Gamers Nexus didn't make a statement.
Statement about?
A lot of there claims were more like white lies. At one point they were sharing real concerns but now there channel is more about throwing people under the bus.
His last article is as clear as it can be and it was a response, Linus started it. I am not sure what you are taking about, give some examples.
Gamers nexus was easily proven wrong too. Trusting gamers nexus on anything these days is just gonna make you look bad. Steve has clearly no problem with attacking LTT no matter what he has to make up in order to do so. LTT aren’t saints, but they aren’t making up shit in order to attack other creators. It’s just not possible to trust GN to be proper journalists anymore.
Idk his article had all the screenshots to prove the points from what I can see so I would rather take his word than someone who doesn't mind harassment in their workplace.
Edit: found the article https://gamersnexus.net/gn-extras/our-response-linus-sebastian
they're probably just mad that his Linux videos do a terrible job representing Linux.
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.
