I Hate Linus Tech Tips

Reply in thread

In one of the rare cases I find myself defending anything Linus does, Linus was attempting to install Steam on PopOS and it bricked the OS. Yes, he should read the warnings, but also how the fuck does that even make sense?

A thread on r/linuxmasterrace about this event pegged the fault at approximately 1/3 PopOS, 1/3 the package maintainer, and 1/3 Linus, and frankly I think they gave Linus too much fault.

Going from game port to USB with "plug and play" was a huge deal man. Not having to manually assign IRQ to get your audio working too lol. That said, there is still one thing that was cursed in the old days and remains cursed now: printers. Fuck printers.

I did it, lads.

I dated a Chinese student at university. She seemed alright until somehow the topic of Tibet came up, and then she went full tankie describing how the Tibetan people were nearly subhuman, living terrible lives with no ability to care for themselves.

I've heard people say similar shit about indigenous Americans and yeah I think it's safe to say that you cannot understate the dangers of propaganda and nationalism.
