"extra legs are for extra hugs" freaks me out for some reason

This very much reminds me of a traditional joke from my country, which is quite inappropriate and so it won't be shared here.

At this point I think I wouldn't be that surprised if one day it would just turn out he is immortal after all.

I didn't intend to do that at all. The proverb I had in mind was "birds of a feather flock together". It doesn't mean he deserved it but I do think people who date people who would do this to them are probably not much better either. Also he wrote this on 4chan which is again, not a complete footprint of his personality but certainly a testament to his character.

I used to watch them, for me the content has gotten a bit boring, but they still occasionally upload some interesting stuff. Also I used to listen to their podcast every week and it's still one of my favorites, I just don't get to listen to podcasts as much.

As for their controversies I think they've handled them well, but we don't have to agree on that.

I'd argue with calling him software illiterate, I think as a first time linux user, using pop_os! which was kind of obscure back then (even is now if you ask me), he should have been some computer mage not to run into some similar problem eventually. I mean steam uninstalling the desktop? Sure if you know linux you will have several clues that this is about to happen, but someone coming from windows who doesn't even know yet what a desktop environment on linux is or how it operates can't be expected to understand instantly. When I came over to linux I certainly didn't.

I think Linus is like average windows poweruser level. If he never touched the software before, he won't magically understand it, but if he manages to fuck up bad, that means most other people would have too. I guess it's all just a question of where you draw the line for software illiteracy. For me it's having to explain someone how to take a screenshot or log into Facebook (I love my Grandpa by the way).
