Thanks for sharing this, it’s an intersting look at the inner workings of kernel development security-trust model.
I’ve seen a lot of stuff being about Linus in the kernel-related stuff, so I have one question: are they really as central as they seem - and we’re all gonna weep blood when they’re not here any more for any reason - or are they a figurehead (due to being the creator and still being very involved) in a sea of equally involved developpers/maintainers/contributors - and should something happen to them, the kernel would continue going in the same direction?
My anarchist ass obviously hopes for the second option 🤞
The kernel is now well beyond the singular control or shepherding of Linus. He’s still hugely influential in the community obviously, so not a pure figurehead, but the kernal dev community will continue on very well.
Great news, ty for sharing :)
I wish this content were also being uploaded to a service like PeerTube or Nebula.
YouTube now assails me with lengthy commercials if I don’t remain perched on the skip button.
Firefox+uBlock Origin (also on mobile).
Ublock and Sponsorblock make YouTube bearable.
If you’re on mobile, use tubular - it has AdBlock as well as Sponsorblock integrated.

Other options on mobile:
- using a firefow-based browser (like Fennec on F-droid) on which you can install Ublock Origin
- also on the F-droid store, newpipe handles youtube shit gracefully
For anyone not in the know, F-droid is an alternative app store for android where all applications are opensource, verified and don’t track you.
You can download it from their website (be warned: android is likely to ask you a half a dozen times if you’re sure you want to download, install and give it permissions), install it and explore a great new world :)
