  For a minute I thought it was Torvalds and was highly confused.

    How do you think all the commits get reviewed? He’s got to pick them up!

    Yeah, I don’t think the guy linked is famous enough to not have the “YouTuber” qualifier.

  I haven’t watched LTT in a long time (basically ever since it was publicly obvious the money got to his head and everything that comes with ego), so when I saw somewhere he bought a jet, I first thought it was April Fools. Then after a short research I realized he’s for real. My partner, on the other hand, was convinced I fell for it, and it took me a while to prove him otherwise.

  Absolutely wild what Linus managed to convince (some of?) his fanboys. People will suck off filthy rich assholes like it’s their job.

    This sentence is wild.

      Funny how he finally managed to buy his own place after ditching LTT. Just another proof how much wealth the rich are extracting from us.

      (PS: no severance package after working for so long for LTT is such a dick move)

      Not entirely sure what the point of your comment is.

      However, most influencers/"content creators” aren’t wealthy. Only the top of the top. I can’t tell you the percentage, but I know for a fact many of them are compensated only in paid travel and accommodation when traveling to promote whatever they’re paid to promote. They don’t get actual money. I know because there’s an influencer in my partner’s extended family who was pushed into the “business” very young by their parent.

      There are also many who earn just enough as if they were working a regular 9-5 job. And if their viewership drops — which it usually does — they’re fucked.

  What the hell do they need a private jet for, that has to be a ego purchase, also they have the money for this but not for taking care of their employees, especially the ones getting harassed, I unsubscribed to their channel when they dropped that fake apology video with Advertisement, cant believe they are still profitable

    Everything Linus buys seems like an ego purchase.

    i glance several thumbnails of his former employees that basically complained about him, although some of them thought they were getting ahead in thier industry/field by working for him.

  Is there a word, possibly German, for when you discover that the person you got douchey vibes off for years but couldn’t quite pin down why, is revealed to be exactly what you suspected? I just had flashbacks to Will Smith at the Oscars.

  • bravesentry@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    There is not, at least in german. But german offers us the possibility of making one. I´ll use the Zangendeutsch for douche, “Dusche”, then “Verdacht” for the suspicion, “Bestätigung” for its revelation as true and “Moment” which is german for, well, moment. Put in some suffixes (-en and -s) for grammatical reasons et voila: Duschenverdachtsbestätigungsmoment, a brand new german word meaning “the moment of the confirmation of the suspicion of the douche”.

    LTT has always been a techbro, surrounded by other techbros.
