Community Only Announcement: Nicholas Plouffe AMA! Sunday, July 26th at 9AM Pacific time

739 Upvotes

Exciting news! As many of you have noticed, our beloved fan favourite and the guy who owns a display has moved on to new adventures. Thanks to your enthusiastic response, we've reached out to Plouffe, and he's open to participating in an AMA with all of you!

Nicholas was delighted to say yes!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 26th, 2026, at 9 AM Pacific Time. Plouffe will be answering your questions live! Get excited, prepare your questions, and join us for a fantastic AMA!

Just a quick note: due to an NDA, there are some topics like past and present employers that Plouffe won’t be able to discuss. We appreciate your understanding and know you’ll help keep the vibe positive!

Let’s make this a joyful send-off and a celebration of Plouffe!

Edit: this is NOT the AMA thread. That will be live on Sunday, July 26th at 9AM Pacific. I will add a link to it once it goes live.

Edit 2: Please nderstand that this is a special thing that we are trying out because Plouffe agreed to it behind the scenes. Other employees that leave in the future may not want or agree to do an AMA (or other things,) so please do not expect it from them.

Meme/Shitpost Ok, this time it went too far

This is terrible and, even if personally it doesn't affect me, I am pissed. And you should be as well.

Every week we have some kind of outrage in the community so the plan is to get ahead this time. Let's get over this even before the WAN show. Let's be angry.. proactively.

Chose a topic, what Linus and the team will do to make you angry this time? Get it out, then let's go and touch some grass (kidding lol, gonna watch some video to make me angrier).

Discussion Scrapyard Wars

215 Upvotes

Watching LMG Clips yesterday (Mid-Range Tech Is a Lie), they briefly discussed Scrapyard Wars:

"There's a reason why Scrapyard Wars is not very interesting right now. I agree with not making Scrapyard Wars this year. It's just terrible out there."

I'm sure I'm not alone on this, but these are my favourite videos that they produce. In my opinion, it would be more interesting and challenging now more than ever to do Scrapyard Wars, which is just great content. In fact, if it were my channel, I'd be doing Scrapyard Wars 3 or 4 times a year, minimum. Curious what everyone else thinks about this?

Edit: After reading some good replies, I think 2 a year would be great. With the way tech and the market changes so rapidly it would make sense that way too. Zero per year is super disappointing. No wonder the channel is dropping off.

I have a LTT potato sweater from the 2023 april fools video. I have used it, but it's still in good condition. Is there a market for this? It would be a lot more fun to sell it go someone who wants it, but if it isn't, I can just give it to a 2nd hand store...

Discussion Linux Autoscroll

2 Upvotes

Hey Linus, Don't worry bud. I got you for the autoscroll for Linux.

https://github.com/NPC-I/autoscroll-linux/

When you pointed out it wasn't a thing i went down the rabbit hole. Found a python Script that did something very similar (Many thanks to CultureCrypto for that. It helped my past some issues i was having).

But a direct deb, rpm, aur seemed like a better shout. So Here is it :). (note tested on Pop OS 24.04 without issues) Please report if you find any and ill fix. <3

Discussion Anyone know how well the screwdriver holds up in a salt-water environment?

0 Upvotes

Hey folks. Not planning on submerging my screwdriver, but I originally purchased the black and orange screwdriver when it released and replaced it with the lime green one when colors released (my dad had a snap-on one in almost that exact green growing up, so it’s kind of an Easter egg to me). Great screwdrivers. I’m thinking about leaving my older unused one on the boat, but just the air on a boat is corrosive. Anyone know how well they hold up? And how well does the cap seal?

Thanks!

Tech Discussion Oh My God, why didn't I switch to Linux sooner

171 Upvotes

I just made the switch from Windows to Linux, specifically Fedora 44 and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner, using my computer is actually fun again.

Many games have much better 1% lows and fps and latency are more consistent.

There was a bit of fear over switching because of software support and just general stability but all those fears were unwarranted, so far much more stable than windows has ever been for me.

What's something that surprised those of you that have made the switch when you started using Linux?

Also would love some recs for software to try, looking to try anything cool.
