Initially, Linus Torvalds wanted to call the kernel he developed Freax (a combination of "free", "freak", and the letter X to indicate that it was a Unix-like system), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was first hosted, named Torvalds' directory linux. So, the name "Linux" (Linus Unix) was stuck. The rest is history.

Interesting video, I personally just appreciate the detail that went into what uplifting could even mean and different ways it could be done.
@fruitywelsh I come from a finance space. I know the taxonomy of people interested in helping, paid or not, vs. interested in something else - like whipping their MLM downline, or their myriad employees, to grind for the next couple quarters' returns, so their golden parachute inflates that much more.
The devils in the latter category need no advocates.
For specificity, a billionaire group VC for Shein, ex-CEO of Sprint & Softbank, ex-chair at WeWork - above - is definitionally devil-tier.
it's mixed. i see some formatting, but image embeds don't work.
also, i use the lemmy markdown, but it gets escaped when i send it.

It's a perspective, he gets to share it. He's not evil just because he's sharing what's worked for him.
Him posting this publicly certainly doesn't constitute him being "preoccupied" with my work schedule or yours. Details of same are highly unlikely to be anywhere on his radar screen.
If someone WANTED to be a CEO (and that is NOT an evil thing to want) this is actually very good advice.
Judge not. This bothers *him.* He didn't say it bothered anyone else. He said it was his pov.
If relentless overwork and non-stop hustling were the keys to success and happiness, our beloved ‘hustle bros’ would be too enraptured with their owning blissful achievements to bother policing everyone else's work hours.
But, here they fucking are, fervently advocating a grind culture and shaming anyone who isn't work obsessed.
Begs the question: if they’ve found the secret to happiness, why are they so preoccupied with our work schedules instead of enjoying their supposed dream lives?
I am extremely proud of this morning's video. Can't wait to hear what you think!
