Who are these people?
The dude is an ex officer and a former world record holder, a 4 time world champion in shooting, has been top 3 in 27 european and world championship competitions, and has been competing for over 2 decades now. He won silver at the last Olympics
The woman recently won Gold at the Olympics.
The joke in the original meme is that she needed all that equipment and perfect form to beat a guy who literally walked on with a pack of ciggies and a tshirt and shot with both eyes open. It is very likely he is a much better shot than her in any real world scenario given he is also former special military. He probably wasn’t trying that hard at all.
Much like the guy, Torvalds invented Linux and Git may be one of the most influential minds in software in our lifetimes and he doesn’t have a desk full of blinking lights and $15000 desk setups. He doesn’t need a bunch of try hard poser shit to be great.
My favorite part of this is how he subconsciously wiped the fingerprints off his gun when he was done
That’s be amazing if he also took it apart while walking away and dropped the pieces in different trash cans
He probably wasn’t trying that hard at all.
I highly doubt that’s true.
His shooting style is just more traditional while hers is more contemporary.
Both are amazing shooters and among the best in the world.
Thank you for the explanation! I never really watched the Olympics enough to see them firing guns. I would think all that high tech equipment counts as performance enhancement stuff which goes against the spirit of peak human based skill but maybe sports people who actually watch and run the Olympics think differently about external augmentations in some cases.
Its really funny with the context of some dude just chilling and vibing while casually firing off world record level shots
He is the odd one out. Most have special gear.
Shooting with both eyes open is actually easier, your whole face is relaxed, and relaxation is key to accurate shooting. At least that’s what I was taught in the military
If your other eye is closed in the military, you get snuck up on.
Are you fucking kidding me? Yeji had style, it’s nothing about random tech. Get the fuck out of here and leave our girl alone
Olympic medalists from this past olympics. They both performed very well for different reasons, and were very popular because of their styles.
Most people are using the same tech as Yeji, but her form, grace, and relaxation made her stand out. And I’m absolutely furious for the other trash poster putting her down like that. She did all that while mothering a four year old ffs.
And she beat Linus’s ass, too.
I think it’s just a joke here because of their getups. I wasn’t under the impression she was getting flack - I thought she was great.

I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He’s just like…a guy.
And honestly I’d rather my mission-critical software be written by “just a guy” than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.
Still has a keyboard that’s way too big though. See him having to use the very corner of the mouse mat in order to use it comfortably.

My experience is like a mirror opposite; nearly all mechanical keyboards are less than 100%, and my productivity would nosedive if I had to hunt and peck numbers.
You might not be wrong overall, but I thought it was funny that my anecdote is fully the opposite.
I need to do a lot of number entry for my work, and the southpaw TKC CandyBar saved my life. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second one just in case something happened.
Then I got a Prime_E. I think people over estimate how hard it is to adjust typing habits to accommodate layers and toggles!
Maybe? I’ve never touched one and I’m not rich or idle enough to buy into an entirely new paradigm. My desk is the size of a coffin as well, so I’ve got to fill it up with something. Might as well be a huge keyboard that sounds like a box of staplers falling down the stairs.
Never knew those existed, really cool. I’ll try to remember that and consider one once my old one dies, which by the looks of it will take another decade.
The solution is a desk pad. If 100% of the desk is a mouse pad you are never in the wrong spot.
Doesn’t really address my point. If your keyboard forces your hand too far off the side… Even if your mouse has a ton of mat space over there, you still have to reach way over there.
I have my mouse in between my two keyboard halves. Off to the side if I’m gaming, and using only one half of the keyboard, the other half unplugged, or just moved up and out of the way.
You can pry my tenkey from my cold dead fingers, haha
Get a keyboard with layers. You’ll thank yourself later. So much damn desk space open to anything. A cup of juice. The mouse in between the two halves of the keyboard (if it’s a split one like mine), no need for extra buttons that take up so much space just sitting there 99% of the time.
Old one was space efficient af though
“It really doesn’t look like much. And I have to say, the most interesting part in this picture, that people mostly react to, is the walking desk. It is the most interesting part in my office, and I’m not actually using it anymore.”

Why is this guy posing like he doesnt have the default windows background?
He’d displaying his lack of personality.
I’ve gathered some like that. Or I’ve misunderstood and people are easily led morons. One or the other.
Why is he posing like he doesn’t run Windows 11?
Not shown: a cubic meter of obscure developer boards and gadgets that hardware manufacturers randomly send to Torvalds to integrate into Linux.
Also his RAM is ECC.
On account of the cosmic space beams.
Bottom needs a gamer chair to prove that he’s a gamer. A gamer games 45% better with a gamer chair. That’s why they’re shaped 45% differently. Without a gamer chair, a gamer does not truly game. But it’s very important that they see it.
Don’t forget the Dew Drip® feedtube for max gameage.
I feel attacked. For real though I actually do own a Secret Lab Titan and it is the most comfortable computer chair I’ve used. I bought one for home when our whole office was working remotely during COVID and liked it so much I bought a second one for the office, before I knew our company would purchase chairs like that. 🙃 I had assumed it was too expensive since until that point we just had shitty Staples chairs.
Ergonomics are pretty subjective though. I know people who use those big balls as a “chair” and people who swore by the kneeling chairs. Tried both and hated them.
With that lighting he’s definitely streaming, so there is one party involved that’s even more interested in people seeing his chair. I wonder if the companies making these abominations even gift them to streamers.
Do you even chair bro
Imagine have a nice custom setup and using the default Windows desktop. Weird flex…
I can’t imagine spending thousands of dollars on a setup and then running windows on it like it’s in a some office cubicle somewhere.
The effort to change from windows is greater than the continued use of windows when i already have solutions to the trash windows puts out.
I couldn’t even be fucked unraiding the drives my laptop came with, even though I don’t want them in raid it’s just… eh, it probably won’t be an issue before the laptop gets replaced in 5 years
You are likely overestimating the how difficult it would be to just use Linux. Just dual boot until you stop booting windows.
The thing about Linux is no one is fucking up the OS on purpose.
You are underestimating how long it takes to do anything that requires internet (everything does). There’s 0 point booting Linux without games, and games take days to download, sometimes days per game. Also, I already fixed windows, so the effort is entirely wasted.
Fwiw you don’t need to redownload your games. You can just play the windows games on Linux.
Removing the drives from a raid array wouldn’t be that complicated. This is just laziness at this point.
I kind of agree on using Windows though. My two main machines are dual booted for a reason.
Removing raid is a multi month problem due to losing all the data, or a few hundred in new SSDs to backup stuff. Removing raid the moment I got the laptop would’ve been the smart idea, but I didn’t do that so I’m not gonna do it until I get a new laptop.
Why would you buy SSDs for backup purposes? Buy an external hard drive, they aren’t expensive. You should be making backups anyway so it’s not really an excuse, go and buy a NAS or something if you have no backup solution at all. Yes you should have done it right away if you were going to do it. Having RAID 0 as your only copy of valuable data is an awful idea. What on earth are you doing?
If I’m buying any new drive, it’s going in the laptop so I get more total storage.
I don’t have a home network so a NAS isn’t a great option.
Raid 0 is what my laptop shipped with for… Whatever reason MSI had. And I didn’t bother to change it when I probably should have knowing that redownloading all my data on a connection that doesn’t reliably run HD video is a miserable and long process.
I have important paperwork backups on my phone, and/or emailed to myself but literally the basic process of downloading and installing steam is slow as hell and means the internet can’t be used for anything else.
How are you getting Internet without a home network?
But mah system is up-to-date to run Windows the Eleventh!
do you have a walking desk? yes WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT
I suspect the actual PC used is at least fairly powerful though. Like someone else said it’s likely using ECC as its mission critial, so chances are it also has other expensive server parts inside. Not all powerful computers actually look like anything fancy at all. This post reminds me of things like the watercooling subreddit and the amount of effort and money they put into things like aesthetics, that don’t actually improve performance at all. Even though the original point of watercooling was performance.
Torvalds could assemble a system by collecting old outdated electronic junk from a trash heap and make it work
Tech Bro needs to convince million dollar investors (or his wealthy parents) to finance his latest setup in order to install the latest Windows or Mac OS … without money to buy new shiny things and proprietary software, he’s totally lost
He built this, in a cave, with a walking desk!
B but sir. Im not Linus.
The tech bro is elxokas, a youtuber from Spain
a random consumer*
Christ on a stick! As someone who builds computers for fun all I see is fan control modules and cables. So many cables. Cables as far as the eye can see!
Could be daisy chained fans, I admit I don’t know how many you can chain together though.
Still gotta be a mess in there.
It’s a bit like alt med quacks wearing a white lab coat and carrying a stethoscope while they prescribe magical water or wave coloured crystals at you.
