I will always remember Luke Smith as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single /g/ meme at once, without carefully analyzing them first.
He owns four ThinkPads at least. While I see nothing wrong with them in themselves, as they are admittedly pretty good value for the price, four is just mindless consumerism, contradictory to his "philosophy".
He started using every single shitty pseudominimalist, ncurses-based program, used a shitty riced out i3 setup of dubious actual productivity (like all tiling wms), then fell for the full Suckless meme and went in even deeper.
Then he started making videos shitting on Python and praising C, which is ironic considering he is not even a programmer by his own admission.
He effectively spent years trying out, configuring and hopelessly trying to integrate tens of meme programs to build what is, combined, effectively a shittier Emacs, just like most of /g/ was doing in their "productive" desktop threads a year or two ago.
Then he read the Unabomber manifesto and blindly accepted it without constructively analyzing it first, same with the anarcho-primitivist ideology that was all the rage about a year and a half on 4chan and 8ch.
While he stated on his website that he "didn't browse 4chan much anymore" it was obvious this wasn't the case.
Then he went and took the memes way too far, and unironically went to live in isolation. While I see nothing wrong in itself, the actual reason he did it is massive cringe.
He has the mentality of someone 10 years younger than he is, yet he acts like a literal boomer jokingly criticizing "zoomers" despite he himself being the worst example of a millennial.
He attacks "nerds" when it't painfully obvious he's deeply unhappy with himself, as it was obviously self-directed criticism thinly veiled as an edgy dabbing video.
He is a perfect example of someone you should avoid becoming at all costs.

It should go without saying, but don't listen to any "tech" YouTubers if you want to learn anything of value about programming, security, or anything like that. They're focused on cultivating an audience, not teaching anything of value. Read manuals and books instead.

bullshit, i already learned a lot from youtube and other video platforms (peertube)
i'm not saying it's perfect and every tech-streamer wants to teach the audience something, on the contrary, most of tech-tubers are scammers and attention seeking whores, but doesn't mean there are no good youtube channels for learning new shit and it's really helpful

videos are cool for learning, but we need a new platform instead of jewtube

>I’ve decided after some consideration to not go to restaurants at all in 2023.
>Restaurants are a drastically over-used creature comfort of the consumerist economy… even worse, nowadays they’re not even comfortable…
>Especially now that portions are smaller more expensive than ever, it’s hard to go to a restaurant without feeling cheated.

So he doesn't understand basic economics. You've been cheated by the government and bankers who have destroyed the value of your money, not the family restaurant struggling to make a living.

>I’m not saying I’m going to throw a Richard Stallman-style sperg-out
So he uses edgy politically incorrect language, maybe that's part of the appeal.

>anyone who is not a delusional fanboy has to look at proof-of-work as some kind of incredible weird and inefficient abomination.
>It will be pretty absurd if most of the world’s computing power will soon be dedicated to proof-of-work mining

Most of the world's computing power will never be dedicated to bitcoin mining for the same reason most of the world's man power was never dedicated to gold mining.

>everything sucks but i don't have any solutions
Reminds me of someone who spams low quality posts on this board.

>https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/
I can't find any solidly technical blog posts. It's all just tech flavored entertainment fluff and click bait.
