    LTT is hidden advertising, and there is no money for that in Linux.

    Most of the "tech" youtube world is based around presenting mostly useless consumer products as it was technological advancement.

    Most of their SAAS advertisers could be replaced by a "docker compose up", hardware ones, most of the time are just regular tools with one or two gimmick.

    The way to get money advertising on linux is by misleading business people into getting useless enterprise services.

    You are off your rocker if you think most saas products can be replaced by docker 🤣

    There is a big gap between you running jellyfin in your basement and securely and reliably maintaining services.

    reliably maintaining services

    it's funny that you use that as a selling point.

    In my experience almost no outage happens because hardware failures. And most outages happen because bad configurations and/or expired certs, which in turn are a symptom of too much complexity.

    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.

    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.

    [–] Stitch0815@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

    Can you elaborate?

    [–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    What was the context for this? Was he just explaining why he wasn't going to talk about how to install Linux during a video or something?

    [–] Johanno@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

    He made a video of how to build a pc and how to install the os. And basically if you choose Linux as a os you already know how to install it.

    Fuck Linus and his shitty company. Greedy cunt.

    [–] z00s@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah it rubs me the wrong way when he treats his workforce as his personal tech peasants by getting them to do ridiculously luxurious upgrades at his house.

    Sure they get paid but he's often getting stuff free or discounted from sponsors installed by his employees essentially for free as he gets to claim their wages as a tax discount all so his primary school aged kids can have their third $5000 gaming rig so they have a computer on every floor of the house.

    Personally I would tell him to get fucked, it's insulting to his employees.

    [–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    I'm sure those videos do make significantly more money than they cost though. People are definitely clicking on them. And he also does expensive sponsored upgrades for (a few of) his employees. Of course he does do a lot more of those for himself though.

    [–] arin@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    He makes fun of his employees so much tho when visiting their home. Bruh you don't pay them enough for their homes to be 10% as nice as your own douchebag!

    [–] Aasikki@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

    And the workers make just as much fun of Linus, if not even more. It's not a one way street, and it's clear that Linus only does it when he knows the other person will also find it funny. It's nothing more but humorical banter between people that know each other quite well.

    But I forgot how

    Get what you're trying to do, but that URI has got an extra scheme in it.

    Thanks for your help, citizen.
