He's not just a guy on YouTube, he has a team planning his videos. They know exactly how to approach his content for maximum views from the moment they start filming. He goes into videos with basically a fully finished script. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago (1 child) After watching him type “yes, do as I say” into a window telling him he’s about to destroy his system, and then watching his surprise as his system is destroyed, there’s no possible way you can convince me that this guy isn’t a bumbling fool. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago When I was a newbie some of my first distros were RPM based, and there was no yum or anything like that. I just downloaded weird RPMs and installed them with --force, and more often than not it worked fine. After switching to Debian I quickly learned that when installing stuff there, you don't try to force DPKG into doing anything. But first I had to fuck up libc, and also learn what libc was. If you're used to ignoring all sorts of warnings from your previous janky OS, it's not that far fetched to fuck up your Debian despite the warnings. That, and of course they're going to ignore the warning and make it blow up, they need some drama for their video! Most of their content follows the formula of first fucking it up, and then trying to fix it after. For their target demographic that is the optimal choice: It's relatable for the viewers, who also fuck up their system all the time, and also impressive because he sometimes manages to recover! His viewers would never be able to get out of that mess, clearly Linus is a tech GOD! permalink fedilink source parent
