A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Linus is surrounded by people who can call him on his bullshit. Luke is very aware of the shit Linus steps in and lets him know. Linus just kinda sucks at publicly admitting it, at least not without getting his own jab in. Hence taking over the "Trust Me Bro" joke.
Linus takes all criticism on LMG as a personal attack regardless of his involvement. Hopefully, once Tarren steps in, he'll be able to wrangle Linus and just let LMG handle the public relations side.
This is the main issue I have with Linus. Doubling down on dumb takes.
I mean, AFAIK he built that company off the ground - yes likely privileged, I saw a video where it's mentioned he and his partner lived rent free in his dad's house. And yes, likely not alone. But still.
Makes sense he'd see criticisms of the company as attacks that he needs to personally take on. It's not the best approach, but totally understandable. Lots of people's livelihoods at stake by now, too.
