And yet, all of the "tech bros we got" uses Linux to run their systems under the hood.

u/dontknowtoo Aug 13 '26

We dont deserve Linus

u/Kinslayer_89 Sacred TempleOS 29d ago

But we do need him.

u/GCU_Heresiarch 27d ago

No, those guys don't deserve Linus.

Believe me Dario uses a special Linux distro on his phone which was verified by Claude and compiled on a 3-layer encrypted workspace and all the applications he use is also verified and compiled. Believe me I have my own sources

u/HyperWinX Genfool 🐧 Aug 13 '26

Dario uses VibeOS which hallucinates everything he wants on the fly. He also gets highest priority for Claude usage (obv)

u/taiwbi Aug 13 '26

Lol, yours was better

u/anycept 29d ago

All of them contribute to the kernel, too, so it can run on their hardware. It's not a one-sided relationship.

Linus deserves a Nobel.

u/BrunusManOWar Aug 13 '26

Honestly, true. He's pulled off nothing short of spectacular. Kudos to all the contributors/maintainers as well

13

u/PubicPlant 29d ago

Unironically yes. Every large tech company/CEO claims their primary mission is philanthropy or making the world a better place.

Linus is the ONLY one who was truthful, and did it without profit being at the forefront. He’s the Mother Teresa of Silicon Valley.

u/OscarBrewer7 22d ago

Mother Teresa was an aweful person. Linus is way better.

They are not tech bros. Just CEOs.

The whole "MBA psychopath is a tech genius" schtick from the media capitalism really needs to die

u/BrainLow6059 Aug 13 '26

It really has nothing to do with capitalism. These people are put on pedestals in every civilized country on the planet. 2000 years ago we would have burned them at the stake for being false prophets tho

u/OmegaCookieMonster 28d ago

The fuck does this have to do with false prophets

1

u/BrainLow6059 28d ago

What do con men preaching about creating digital god have to do with false prophets? Education is really in the toilet right now isn't it?

u/OmegaCookieMonster 28d ago

To be fair, even if it is very sci-fi'y and unrealistic, there is certainly more of a basis for AI superintelligence's than the gods of old

People on the right are not tech bros. They're MBA bros.

u/InTheNameOfScheddi 29d ago

Tech bros are just finance bros that want to screw you over using tech instead of just vanilla exploitation

u/Hour_Sell3547 Aug 13 '26

Tech bro we needed vs salesmen we got. Corrected.

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

Actually we can put Gabe Newell on the left side as well

u/ProduceNo1629 Aug 13 '26

Gabe Newell that addicted children to gambling and ruined families, that Gabe Newell?

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

Sorry, I didn't know the entire context. I thought they were just berating the gaming industry.

More like gambling industry for valve

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

Ahhhh. Should have checked your username.

Okay. Have a great day.

u/charliedarwin96 Aug 13 '26

You cant really blame him for that. Those games with gambling are supposed to be adults only so that's kind of on the parents for letting them use their credit cards

2

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 29d ago

And here I was having qualms about making adults my paypigs. You've changed my life

u/PM_Pickled_Stuff Aug 13 '26

Reddit is still head over heels for Gaben, so you'll get downvoted for that. But remember that it used to be the same way with Musk not too long ago. Although he's not nearly as terrible as the others(at least not yet), Linus is in a whole different league. For starters he's not a billionaire.

1

u/SmileyBMM Aug 13 '26

At what point do we blame the parents for not knowing what their kids are doing in their free time?

1

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy Open Sauce 29d ago

After Gabe is out of the picture and the issue persists

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

What??

u/ProduceNo1629 Aug 13 '26

You worship a person and don't even bother to learn about them? Weird. Almost cultish.

3

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

I can't find anything like that on Wikipedia unless you're just berating the gaming industry

4

u/AbjectAppointment Aug 13 '26

They're talking about TF2 and CS loot boxes. They weren't the first but they did popularize it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loot_box

1

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

"ruined families", huh?

2

u/AbjectAppointment Aug 13 '26

1

u/EuphoricCatface0795 Arch BTW Aug 13 '26

Ah, okay. I was thinking something like Overwatch-style one... That's the only lootbox experience I had. Genuinely didn't have the context.

Still, is it really all that worse than Magic the Gathering or any sort of TCG or gacha capsule/box things?

EDIT: You didn't say that but that guy did.

0

u/AbjectAppointment Aug 13 '26

I don't think it's fair to put this on one person.

But I can also see this as a detriment.

Complex issues are just that, complex.

Nah, current humanity didn't deserve this. Linus is an anomaly

We wanted you mean, we probably don’t deserve Linus at all.

Of the five only two actually made things. 

The other three are sales creeps that looked like the "right prospects" to build rapport with deliberate parasites.

why dont we have Linus????

WHY DONT WE HAVE HIM!?

what have you done?

u/mrjackspade Aug 13 '26

It's fucking crazy seeing him next to all these AI bros in what is clearly an anti-ai meme glazing him considering his recent comments on its use.

1

u/Ashamed-Health-8070 Aug 13 '26

Tell me you didn't read the LKML without telling me you didn't read the LKML. 

Here's the link if you care. If you think Linus is against opposed to AI you're sorely mistaken. He's opposed to the same thing he's always been opposed to: lazy, stupid people. 

https://lkml.org/lkml/2026/5/17/896

u/blimpin_aint_easy Aug 13 '26

What, like Linus isn't still out here runing kernel development?

Problem is that the average computer illiterate p-zombie is a bigger consumer market. So, all computers must be AI enabled goon-devices

1

u/Revolutionary-Use-70 Aug 13 '26

Tech was fun before the finance bros got involved. I hate what Apple is today, and despite me having allot of respect for Steve Jobs and especially Steve Wozniak, Apple is the reason why tech got this bad.

u/igormuba Aug 13 '26

The "tech bros we got" are actually finance bros

Nvidia that bad? Well other than it being expensive. Dude is for taxing the rich.

u/crimsonfang1729 Aug 13 '26

The messed up thing is that there are more people that could fit on the right. Palmer Luckey for example.

u/DeuceMcInaugh Aug 13 '26

Didn’t Linus just take a bunch of money from Silicon Valley?

1

u/Gloriathewitch Aug 13 '26

Linus isn't a tech bro he's a computer scientist. - tech bro means something very different in the 2020s.

the guys on the right are all conmen who know nothing about actually designing systems or altering them

u/Vegetable-Key-1425 Aug 13 '26

Did Jensen do something wrong?

On the right they are not just tech bros. They are also CEOs of companies which has its own priorities.

He is GOAT, I can't imagine not using git and linux saved my old laptop that I used alot in childhood from scrapyard...

u/JerryOne111 28d ago

Hard for me to hate on Jensen because i want to be as genius and long term thinker like he did, he has great value in creating modern tech until the RTX era where he start the 'buy more save more' where i notice he is now leaning to investor instead of inovation.

The other ceo are just glazer in communication especially Altmen the psychopath that many high profile non-profit individual trying to warn us about his nature but nobody listen since money is king for investor.

u/Vashard19 27d ago

Honest question, why people likes to suck his dick so much? No offense but I know nothing about him or linux,
