That’s clearly all that matters to you.

What a case in point of a being. You’ve utterly shattered any basis to criticize anyone from.

You must have me confused with a mirror. Do you normally go around spouting off what you are insecure about? I can confirm, you are right to feel so. And why do people like you always give away that it’s a game to you with whole “luck” line? Isn’t this the sort of stuff you keep resented up inside so people don’t become aware of how you see the world?

Yeah, that must be it.

Let’s just say it’s from a mindset that downvotes every comment that replies to them.

I really have no idea what you’re asking for.

Don’t worry, I think I more or less got a sense of where you are really coming from. That you have no idea what I am asking for is a nail for the impression I got.

All of those are streamers, and a single digit list of those (5 of them). I would have liked to see a linux community recognize entire community of experts, but this whole argument seems to be just people taking their favorite streaming personalities and doing a lot of what’s wrong in reality shows with them. If all your experts are streamers, you have a very flawed definition of an expert.

Thanks for getting your feet wet, though. Louis Rossmann is more of a consumer right’s advocate nowadays, Gamers Nexus and Wendell are more of the same generalists that would compete in LTT’s interest base, and Wendell and the rest have a focus more on the side of *nux and more professional deployments. To me, three out of the five being Linux domained says the issue is less about someone being an expert than what they are expert in, and Louis Rossmann being nudged along with Gamer’s Nexus when he’s sort of out of the domain involved yet him being a key supporting figure along with Gamer’s Nexus criticism in the past hints that his inclusion might be prioritized on that instead. Also, Louis Rossmann is literally trying to get people to avatar Clippy … because lesser evil is an icon of antiAI or some such?

Not criticizing those streamers, just trying to see where a lot of the drama is coming from and whether my own assumptions on that are justified. A lot of them seem to be from people with more expertise in the Linux community. Linus has been pushing for Linux adoption for people outside of the community for some time now, and because he appeals to that outside community more has generally been more effective at it.

There’s a personality cult around Linus Torvalds and a hate cult around Linus Sebastian. Neither are as perfect or imperfect as their respective cults make them out to be, and Linus Sebastian isn’t anywhere on the level of fame or merit that Linus Torvalds is. That’s pretty much it.

In your opinion, who is, and is it on a single digit list of people who are for you?

Seeing lots of downvotes, but no answers. It’s always so easy to point out who isn’t an expert, but people get so insecure when they have to provide counterexamples that aren’t just outliers. I guess people fear themselves.

A black box you can’t look inside making determinations that could affect your access to the entire site. How dystopian. It’s also pretty clearly only useful for pruning users en masse and not have to bother with the responsibility a moderator should be subject to.
