Even though I don’t really dabble in Linux anymore. I lost all my respect for him. No, not due to this post, but the GN/Billet Labs situation, and especially the Madison situation.
The owner was obviously happy to be rid of the old stock. They knew it wasn’t moving. It is tech waste for a majority of the western world. Yes that stuff is still useful in other places arithe world, but it’s just not particular to have it in a shop in urban Canada. The owner was obviously a good sport to play the games the video and expressed gratitude to be able to sell a bunch of stuff.
You’ve missed some social cues or are looking for any small thing to pounce on. Go touch grass.
I’m not disagreeing with you. I saw that the owner was happy. I may have missed these queues, as I am not great at being social. I am looking at the deeper meaning. I am looking not at the actions, but what it represents, which is the fact that this teaches kids that they can buy people, and be happy in a world of commercialism is all. To me this is wrong.
He’s talking about a video where Linus went to a local tech shop. The products in said shop were… very old gen, Linus made some fun about it. He bought everything that was in the front of the store. That way the store owner had money to buy stuff that’s current gen and useful. A bit of a nostalgia trip

I will never watch another one of his videos, there are other options.
Can’t forget him being anti union as well, I also stopped watching all his content from that point onwards.
That and it rubbed me wrong when he went into small businesses to buy them out, only to ridicule all their product for being useless garbage.

It’s not that deep bro.
Can you elaborate?

You mean the situation where a young zoomer with no work experience claims things without any proof?
?
The claims that were corroborated by colleagues and the dude himself?
Where?
