From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Love the comment that is like second down with a link to some 5 hour live stream. I skipped to a random spot in it and the guy had the unabomber manifesto up, and said it "detailed the greatest problem in society today". What a fucking drop for a github comment, 10/10 no notes.

It's hilarious how you managed to land in the Unabomber segment in a 5h30m video. The funny coincidences of life.

Do you know the person they were posting? I just assume anyone that does 5hr YouTube videos is unhinged, and having it linked from someone randomly on GitHub didn't help my view of their followers. Finding the Unabomber confirmed it enough for me lol.

I have wikipedia surface level knowledge about him. It's george hots. The guy that got sued by Sony for jailbreaking the playstation something; also jailbreaked the iphone; founded comma.ai which develops software (openpilot) and sells hardware for making a car into a "self driving" one (more like assistive driving). He was/is a bit of a celebrity.

Anyone who does 5 hour videos is unhinged
