Most things can be done with a lot less resources than you think

Tutto vero.

I remember a few years ago Linus said he uses a macbook with Linux on it. I wonder what he uses now that macs aren’t x86 anymore.
Edit: all I can find is he is still using a macbook now with an m2 chip. For his desktop he has a threadripper CPU and an Rx 580

My memory is that it was an ARM based laptop. This story seems to confirm that: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/08/linus-torvalds-uses-an-arm-powered-m2-macbook-air-to-release-latest-linux-kernel/
I think it was the Asahi district.

So naive to think the bad guys did not steal the source code. The bad guys just don’t share the zero days and the good guys don’t get to see it.
Steal? Microsoft and Apple are the bad guys!
Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps? Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems? Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically? Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?
This picture, it frustrates me on many levels.
Pretty sure “That man” is Linus Torvalds and the light bleed is actually the desktop background (looks like a photo)
As for the rest… 🤷
Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?
iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.
Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?
Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.
Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?
The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.
Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?
From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.
Omg a standing desk?
linus has it set up at a treadmill while he works.
Well, he must be standing on something. It’s either that, or the ceiling of that room is really low.
Linus was a bit of a trendsetter what comes to standing desks. In an interview he also commented on the walls, saying the paint colour is also used in mental institutions because it has a very calming effect on the human mind. (Goodness knows Linus needs all the chill he can muster.)
That paint color also makes his pants technically camouflage!
A walking desk
Why are Linux, Windows uppercase? Where is macOS? Why is iOS lowercase?
Apple’s preferred spelling is that macOS and iOS not be capitalized, much like xkcd. But yeah, now that you mention it, that just says ‘ios’.
Darn lazy memers
It was always pretty humorous to me that Microsoft named its early-2000s mobile operating system “Windows Compact Edition” and abbreviated it (officially) as “WinCE”. The capitalization really mattered in this case.
IMO the apple campus looks like a urinal. Fittingly.
Don’t go into a bakery.
That’s the kind of nonsensically ominous warnings I’m looking for in a horoscope!
if that taurical building looks like a urinal to that guy, they should stay away from anything that has doughnuts and bagels.
