  • LTT and gamers nexus face similar but not exactly the same pressures. Gamers nexus is able to be more aggressive than Linus is but Linus structured his business in such a way that made it vulnerable to such a things.

    The clearest example of this was when the Intel overvolting bug was being hidden by Intel PR spin and GN noticed a pattern, said fuck all that noise, and raised hell over it. GN was right. Intel was wrong. And GN was rewarded for it. Linus has to keep sponsors happy whereas GN regularly throws punches with industry titans like NVIDIA.

    The risk is higher but so is the reward. People trust GN specifically because of that reputation. Linus is fun, his channel is interesting, but he’s squarely in the influencer/entertainment category.

  • That’s…actually a great idea. Trump is doing exactly that anyways. He’s so old he knows he just has to stall until he dies to avoid consequences. There are other old people out there too though.

    Rounds up some old vets and let them serve their country again. I hear they are tied of being used as political props anyway.

  • The peasants are revolting

  • Murder is only cute when republicans do it. It’s less adorable and downright dangerous when someone with a name like “Mangione” does it.

  • YES! Let’s have this debate!

  • I can also expel incredible energy very quickly but it just makes me feel ashamed.

  • I really respect Gamers Nexus for actually doing the shit Linus Tech Tips just haws and haws over.

  • Yes, it does, but only the survivors benefit from its collapse. What makes you so confident that you will survive when many others will not?

  • Healthy people don’t WANT to murder people. But we are being backed into a corner. Are you willing to die for decorum or fight?

  • Until they decide those tools are illegal as well. They solve a different problem. The government will ban things it cannot control so you have to fight governments directly, not just work around them.

  • Considering the mass surveillance well underway, the window to organize effectively has already closed. Doing so puts you in as much danger unmasking an agent and in this scenario they will just slap the terrorism label on it and that’s the end of the conversation.

    It’s preferable to mass organize but it’s too late now. Keep fighting. We are going to lose but we are going to make this as difficult and expensive as possible anyway. They don’t get to be comfortable.

  • You’re going to lose all those things anyway.

  • These guys are total pussies. Either shoot them or unmask them. They are already on camera so swarm them and pull down a few masks. Once you ID a few of them publicly, the rest will drop like flies.

  • It’s part of our culture. It dates back to when America was new. Plantation owners wanted to pretend we had a rich and powerful economy and history and culture. They made everything pristine and gaudy and exp wove looking but there was no substance. Look at the architectural decisions made in plantation houses and how the elements are still used in homes today.

    We pretend we are better than we really are.

  • Oh they will absolutely turn on him if they smell blood in the water. Someone just has to make him bleed first. They want everything he is doing but they also know he’s gonna be dead soon enough and all the anger from the collapsing cult will be focused on them.

    He’s done everything they wanted. He has nothing left to offer them. Now they just need to dispose of him with a massive public spectacle and focus all the consequences on him. Thats what the Epstein files are. Everything about this says the rich and powerful want out and to have him be the scapegoat.

    Enter Russia. He’s still very useful to Russia. So Putin props him up by threatening those in his own party. So until Putin dies, this will continue.

    When Putin dies, Trump will be completely vulnerable. That’s when everyone will finally oust him.

  • Anything KDE. My mom and stepfather are using Kubuntu and it’s working out great.

  • I used to work at a place where it was just a small operation of us three in the IT dept. helpdesk goon me, network engineer, and IT boss. I wanted more experience on Linux in a corporate environment. IT boss saw this as a learning opportunity and gave the green light so I switch my machine over.

    Then network guy switched. IT boss thought this was fine too. “We learn some lessons the hard way” he mused.

    This lasted several weeks and we had basically no issues. We were actually more productive than he was. He eventually was getting frustrated this little experiment of his wasn’t going the way he wanted and mandated we “had to use windows because our customers were using windows.”

    We switched back. Everything went back to shit but it was familiar shit so he was fine with it.

    I brought in an old surface pro X and used it. Technically still complying and it did help us figure out some issues some of our other ARM based customers had. Any it worked better than the shitty dells we were given.

  • Normally I’d say they agreed to the advisory role as a simple get out of lawsuit play. They have to hear him, but not actually act on what he says.

    But looking at where we are in 2025, they will likely do everything he says.

  • Yea I couldn’t spell it and autocorrect wasn’t about to help me.
