It’s more about making aware those unaware how much of a clown Linus Sectarian, and the people at LMG/LTT are.

Burden of proof is on the accuser.

The burden of proof is on the party making a positive claim. This is true when in a debate, or maybe a professional setting.

But this is the internet. No one owes you anything here, besides, Linus Sebastian’s statements are generally known. And often he directly contradicts himself from show to show.

You know, I was fine with LTT for a while (many years ago). I knew they were clowns, but they seemed genuine and well intentioned. Their first Linux challenge made me raise my eyebrows at them, because I was a long time Linux user and knew much of what they said was either off the mark or disingenuous.

Then their storage server video came out and I almost fell off my chair with the levels of bafoonery I had watched. Even the real experts that helped them out had a hard time keeping their words civil while discussing the postmortem of the situation. That’s when I lost respect for LTT and Linus Sebastian as a tech “expert”.

Then all the other stuff about the lies, the made up metrics, the years of garbage test data from negligent and lazy practices, and the cherry on top which was the Billet Labs thing. The arrogance of Linus Sebastian to do the test in bad faith on a GPU that was explicitly stated by Billet Labs to not be the target device, and then Linus whine on the WAAAH Show that it would cost him too much money to do a proper retest, and then just selling off the prototype. Then doubling down twice in a forum post that LINUS SEBASTIAN is somehow the victim in all of this! Poor Poor Linus Sebastian.

And the moron couldn’t even do an apology video without making some wise-ass joke. Couldn’t read the room the one time he needed to do it.

He’s just an ass-hat.

I refuse to watch a video with Linus Sebastian. I’ll get better tech advice from my cat tripping on catnip.

As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.

This doesn’t have anything to do with the sun’s rotation. It actually rotates once every 28 days. The solar maximum and solar minimum are just phases in activity caused by internal activity.

if Plex enshittifies.

Anyone want to break the news?

HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264

In some scenarios, it can. Generally I’d say it’s about a 20-30% reduction in size.

He seemed to get a conscience around the time he stopped running the show

It was all a show. His “philanthropy” was about exploiting farmers in other countries.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I guess you’re right, because I’ve never worked as an IT admin, or had the policy at multiple companies I’ve worked at changed to allow Linux devices for devs.

Taking Immich as an example, there’s a lot of heavy lifting happening there behind the scenes in external libraries that are not written in JS.

Real programmers are language agnostic

Thought terminating sentence.

No, I like “bossware”. It tells you exactly what it is. It’s “spyware from your boss”.

In an ideal world, id love a debian thinkpad or framework

Then make your world ideal. Pester your boss or the IT guys with articles showing how Linux is better than Windows at security or dev work. Show them how Linux isn’t prone to the same security concerns. Show them articles or examples about how you could do your work with a Linux install.

Vibe coding is basically yoloing the output and running it without checking anything.

Them some ruffled feathers!!!

Lol, what are you on about? The “good luck” line is meant to be flippantly dismissive. As in “I keep prompting you to explain but you keep side-stepping” so now I’m done with you and the convo. It’s a direct way to signal that I no longer take you seriously. And after your last reply with your “resented up inside” line, I really don’t take you seriously.

And I’m surprised (but not really) that you didn’t look up and call out my “elephant hurling” comment, because I used that incorrectly on purpose. I did it to see if you’d even try to call me out, but you wouldn’t even do that. So whatevs. I am done with this convo.

Edit: autocorrect

Edit: downvoted you again just to ruffle your feathers

Alright, nice elephant hurling. Better luck next time.

I bet they would be, they might actually be more ravenous than Swifties.

So you’re complaining that I downvote your comments? If people agree with what you say they’re free to upvote you. I happen to think you’re objectively wrong, so I downvote. I’m using the system as intended.

There are plenty of comments in the past where I upvote someone who has a genuine differing opinion on something, or where they show me that I’m wrong about something. You’re free to comb through my comment history if you like. But don’t claim to have “figured me out” because I don’t agree with you and downvoted your comments.
