Even though Google is developing Android it is open source and you can run it without Google. I believe projects like LineageOS and GrapheneOS would continue development with the existing code base if that ever changed. But yeah, personally, I still would love to see a Linux phone that does not rely on Google which is why I appreciate the efforts of the likes of Pine64.

There is a butterball helpline? Wtf

The linux stuff is directly from Linus, just watch the Linux gaming rig challenge he did with Luke, the guy is a fucking moron. And on the server stuff I recollect from Linus when Jake was trying to get Linus to use TrueNAS instead of UnRaid and Linus kept making fun of the way TrueNAS did things because he didn't understand it. Literally, only because it's not like he is used to doing it in UnRaid... which honestly is par for the course because that's the reason he doesn't like Linux too. Simply because some things are not done the way he is used to doing them. It's pathetic. Linus always bangs for the most pleb software like UnRaid or WIndows... which is fine, but then disparages anything else because he simply hasn't taken the extra step or the extra time to understand it. He only wants to understand tech on a very basic and surface level because he's nothing more than a hardware enthusiast gamerbro douchebag. He doesn't actually understand any of the tech he talks about.

Jake might not know how to use the tooling, and he absolutely bumblefucks around with it, but at least he's trying to use the right tooling most of the time.

That fucking douchebag tried equating adblocking to piracy in one of his videos. If I recall correctly, he also defended that position on a WAN show too, because of course, like he'd ever admit he's wrong. I'll never watch another LTT video... ever. I've unsubscribed from other channels for far less. I left reddit for what I feel is far less egregious then this situation when you factor everything. Because GN did an excellent job in showing how poorly accurate his benchmark videos are, but he could have gone even further. Anytime Linus talks about linux or the server platform, he is equally full of bad conclusions and misinformation. That wasn't even touched on. Take Linus's poor response and some of what we've learned with just how fucking toxic the work environment is there, and how rabid his fans have been. I'll never give them another view. No one should recommend his videos or channel, and those recommendations should be discouraged in all tech communities.

This is the dumbest take I've read so far. It's not about whether the product is worth it or not... that doesn't play into this whatsofuckingever.

Have you ever watched the WAN show? He almost always refuses to admit he's wrong. He's a douchebag.

You can lightly sand the water bottle and repaint over it.
