  • I started the video shocked that GN would do a video like this at all. I was 100% ready to blame GN for being petty. As I watched and listened, though, he made really good points, and I can’t help but agree. Especially on the points where Linus doubles down on really bad takes instead of doing the right thing, insisting it doesn’t matter (there are loads more examples than just Billet).

    The one thing he didn’t say that I wish he had, though, is to remind people that he’s focused on industry journalism, not just hardware itself. This isn’t a hit piece, it’s an information piece, where he holds industry players accountable. Not unlike his journalism on Newegg and Asus. No, it’s not positive, but it’s honest, and it informs and benefits consumers.

    I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD, so that means my picking up of electrical engineering, retro computer building, programming in z80 and 6502 ASM, 3d printing, CAD, AI, LLMs (locally run), python, rust, embedded programming for AVRs, RP2040 in C, rust, and ASM … Since the beginning of COVID is perfectly normal, and the dozen half finished projects I have scattered about are entirely reasonable…

    Right? Right…?




  • Instance level rules are handled at the instance level.

    Community level rules are managed at the community level. If a community follows another community, they are agreeing to show posts that follow the rules of the community they follow, no different than a user.

    Posts go to a single community, when you post to a community that follows another community, you have the choice of where to post to. The rules of the community you select would be displayed to you at you select it.

    It’s really simple. The intent is not too magically make everyone get along and agree to the same rules, but rather to empower them compromise where they feel it’s appropriate.

    And as a bonus, even if the communities themselves don’t compromise, any user can simply create a community that follows the communities that don’t get along, and they now at least have an aggregation of community content that would otherwise be spread across several communities.

    I’m reality, I think these meta communities themselves will become heavily followed as they become great aggregators of other segmented communities that have fractured the content.
