nixCraft 🐧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.
Is Uplifting Ethical?
cwicseolfor (has moved!)@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.
@cwicseolfor To preface I am more so just steel manning for some of the people I respect that kind of think like this. With that said, working, having something to do and build towards can be seen as valuable into it's self, maybe it's not there goals to stop working. They could also see providing it as a service on the market as a more fair thing to do as well, and better way to get it to people that care about it.
HACKthePRISONSit'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.
# like this
miskI’m fairly sure Lemmy image embeds won’t be visible in Mastodon since it doesn’t have rich text formatting / markdown.
@Daojoan There is also something to taking advantage of having less out of work obligations by pursuing career goals of your own. That seems reasonable. The idea of the grind (i.e. working till it grinds you down) is a terrible idea though even from a ROI perspective.
@Daojoan I mean if you found a key to happiness and didn't share it, it would be pretty selfish of you.
Yusuf ToropovIt'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.
