Torvalds is a C programmer who didn't even consider himself accomplished until he made Git, long after Linux.
Sebastian is a warehouse manager who still thinks he's better than everyone else because he worked at ~~NZXT~~ NCIX lol.
NCIX = NZXT?
I'm dumb, thank you
No they are different.
They are different, but to clarify, Linus Sebastian worked at NCIX (defunct computer parts / tech retailer), not NZXT (computer hardware manufacturer).

juicy new controversy with ltt?
Steve called out LTT for knowing about the Honey marketing scam but not saying anything because it would harm his business (This isn't speculation. Linus said it publicly.) LTT called for peace with Gamer's Nexus using the veiled threat that Gamer's Nexus comments are causing material harm to his business.
Steve responded by posting an old text exchange he had with Linus regarding a LTT Wan show that copied a Gamer's Nexus video without even mentioning they they were using Gamer's Nexus script (almost identical in topic order, format and words) for their show. If Steve was a serious business instead of a fan running a channel as a business, that's where lawyers would have been brought in to sue LTT. Instead Steve only asked for acknowledgment- which Linus never gave.
Could be mistaken, but supposedly Linus knew about the part where Honey was screwing over affiliates (like himself), and claims that was public-enough knowledge in the creator community at the time that he didnβt feel compelled to say more, not the part where Honey was screwing over customers, too. Also, didnβt he credit Steve via a pinned comment to that video?
The part about honey is a complete misread of the facts. There were posts on the LTT forum about honey scamming creators, and Linus himself said that within the creator community he thought the news got around enough to not warrant a video about it.
So many linux people have a hate boner for the guy because he's got a prickly personality and makes videos for the unwashed masses, but he still has integrity.
almost identical in topic order, format and words
Apparently, that specific conversation was in Mandarin, and Steve was the only member of the media present who spoke Mandarin. I'm pretty sure that appending a simple "thank you Steve from Gamers Nexus for translating" would've been sufficient, especially since Linus wants to look like they're such good buddies.
The Linus from tech tips is such a sleazeball. If I knew him in person I would probably dislike him enough to walk on the opposite side of the street. Too bad he's associated with Linux via the name.
