I was very surprised that Linus (T) didn't knew about arch btw. And even didn't know about Linux ISO joke.. Come on.. Linus is really only looking at emails.
Linus (S) went extra annoying for 2/3 of the vid. He managed to be sort of professional and asked some decent questions, but for the majority of the time he was putting on a performance for the LTT crowd.
You know the silly stuff at the start was actually Torvald's idea, right?
Linus (Sebastian) spoke about how he didn't even get the reference but Linus (Torvalds) prompted him to go and watch Highlander ("there can only be one!!")
You should've kept watching it. There's some good stuff there.
I laughed so hard at the highlander reference. It might just be that you gotta know the specific meme and culture to enjoy it. Even YouTube Linus didn't know the reference.
Seeing the two Linus's pulling out katanas on each other was hilarious.
I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.
It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.
Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).
That joke, about just uploading everything and letting others decide what's worth saving, is one I first heard decades ago. Might still have been him who first made it.

looks at the specs
Yeah it makes sense they couldn't afford to put any ram in
Lifecoffeegaming@infosec.pub · 22 pts · 286d
64GB of EEC RAM. Can't remember the brand, but Linus T made a big deal about wanting EEC. (And rightly so for his usecase)

How much does that cost?

Today or tomorrow?

Its not about how much it costs. It about how much it saves...

The only way to stay sane
tehn00bi@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 286d
I enjoyed it. Bit of a different way to do an interview.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 287d
So the video is just the two of them pulling out a 20 year-old ThinkStation and plugging in a flash drive?
sexy_peach@feddit.org · 18 pts · 287d
Good luck building the kernel with that over and over
MagicPterodactyl@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 287d
Haven't watched the video yet, do they kiss passionately with tongue?
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world · 28 pts · 287d
Looking at that still frame pic, that might just be incest.
cole@lemdro.id · 9 pts · 287d
yeah, although Linus admitted he is gay
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 287d
Which one?

Yes.

I think I made it 5 minutes. Linus (S) can't be professional to save his life.

Different generations. They didn't get each other's cultural references.
SaltySalamander@fedia.io · -4 pts · 286d
Specifically referring to Linus's fan-girling all over Linus.
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 285d
God forbid someone who's made their life tech is very excited that Torvalds has come to visit them and turned out to be a really nice guy.
Torvalds will probably be the highlight guest of his entire career, and he knows it. Of course that's enormously exciting.

You didn't last long enough. Really good flowing interview after the initial over the top YouTube shenanigans

Well.. Not really. I watch it to the end. It still feels a bit off.

Holy shit, never saw teeth that looked as fake as Linus T's (apart from obvious gold bling crap).
Zeoic@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 287d
Those are his braces that got stained by curry lol
