And he hasn't changed a bithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdXRI-5BxMw
shame hes still bald
>>103458162cringe
nice to see him go full ken thompsonstill won't watch his videos tho
Kenny went bald?
I'd kill myself if I was him.
how unhappy must this man have been to be swept up fad after fad like this
>>103458162Here is a newer video with distrotube
Luke Smith is the embodiment of the Dunning Krueger effect. He's a Language arts PHD dropout that decided to just copy the most successful Linux YouTuber at the time (Mental Outlaw) but Luke's technical competence is so low he makes several mistakes whenever he rips off one of Kenny's videos. When people called him out on this Luke started grasping for ways to stand out from being another Mental Outlaw clone.1st Luke started shilling credit cards, he even disabled all crypto payments on his POD bookstore because Kenny hates the debt based financial system.2nd Luke took an anti-gaming stance because Kenny occasionally plays vidya with his gf.3rd Luke took an anti phone and anti gun position because Kenny carries both as part of his EDC4th, Luke stopped making his videos in the woods because Kenny took over his family farm and made a couple videos about it. Luke just can't stand living in Kenny's shadow.5th, Luke became anti restaurant because Kenny works with local restaurants to get organic food scraps for his animals and sells the meat and eggs back to the restaurantAnd the most hilarious LARP of all is Luke pretending to be a Christian so he could enhance his E-begging and associate himself with Terry Davis despite desktop ricing being his greatness programming accomplishment.
>>103459013Stale copypasta is getting staler by the minute.
>>103459013The quality of both Kenny's and Luke's channels went down the drain when they stopped making technical/Linux related videos.
>>103458162I liked him back when I was a teenager but as I got older everything he says and stands for rubs me the wrong way.For instance, he inherited house in rural areas yet talks about how easy it is to live out there. He claims that you can simply stop being gay, pointing to himself being a closeted homosexual. He hates on office workers, yet was a totally theoretical academic for the majority of his life. The only real contribution he's made to CS or programming or tech as a field is a cooking website using HTML which amounts to an SSG CRUD application using HTML forms and some bash scripts to follow tutorials on how to configure an arch install. Mental Outlaw is the person you guys should be glazing as he seems legitimately knowledgeable about the subjects he chooses to speak about. This dude has never worked a day in his life that he did not choose to work. He is fucking loaded and talks down to you worker cattle.>>103459013yeap this
This is what Christianity does to a mf
Who is this gay Jewish wizard?
>>103458693the fuck did i just saw
>>103459100what I liked about luke's vids was precisely that he wasn't a programmer, and used practical examples for his scriptskenny's great too, but luke got me excited for the "systems are easier if you make a bunch of scripts and hotkeys" thing and weaned me onto vim and a more unix mindset (rather than everything being isolated flatpaks)
>>103459100>pointing to himself being a closeted homosexualnever happened
>>103458162lmao he's really gone off the deepend now
>>103458162
>>103460017>lies about having a wife>pretends to be religious>travels the world to hang out with young boysYeah, Luke is totally straight and based
>>103459013>>103459100memes aside, does /g/ (yes, /g/ is a single person) actually hate him or is it just shitposting? everytime Luke is mentioned you get a couple posts shitting on him for no reason. Yes, he's a bit retarded (specially because of "dreaming is satanic lol"), but these posts always seem a bit personal. I never see /g/ shitting on other jewtubers as much as him.
>>103458162Why does he look like Lenin now?
>>103458162Nice look lmao
>>103460191It's because of how astroturfed Luke is. The pasta sums it up perfectly and most positive posts about Luke (including OP) are probably just Luke self promoting. If /g/ had post ID's it would be more obvious which is probably why he shills here instead of /pol/
>>103460191You should not care what /g/ thinks, the people here are retarded. As someone who works as a software developer and has a computer science degree this board is retarded and if you take their advice you will never get a job. Same for Luke Smith himself.The reason it is personal for me is that I was gullible enough to believe his retardation. Like most shit on 4chan there is a grain of truth and then gallons of bullshit that will harm you.Learning bash scripting, what unix utils can do, messing with vim to see if you like it are all great things to do. Taking his hardline schizophrenic stances on life or tech seriously is going to harm you.As an example of how retarded /g/ is, there have been several posts today saying you do not need to know what Big O is to be a software developer and questioning why it is useful. There has been a post by a guy using AI to write a loop that simply finds where a single byte is located in a triply nested array and returning the i, j, and k indices. These people are actually fucking retarded. Never take anything this site has to say seriously or anything on the internet in general unless it comes from a reputable source or you know enough to critique it.
>>103460344>you do not need to know what Big O is to be a software developerBig O is a mecha anime
you are going to post this every single day huh
>>103458162He is married to a roastie and raising her boyfriend's kids. He cucked hard! Who woulda known?
>>103460252More like Tolstoy, no?
wow thanks op I really care what [bald eceleb X] has to say about [anything]
>>103460191directionbrain
I like how Luke tries to present himself as an intellectual. He wears suit jackets, uses big words, and always posts a pic of him looking like a kind school teacher when he makes these threads. But I know the truth Luke, you're a brainlet grifter .
>>103459013>>103459100buy an ad, nigger.
>>103459013redpill me on that Muslim
>>103458693If I could wave a magic wand I'd make a /g/ animated series where we could watch cartoons of Terry, Luke, Kenny, DT, all interacting in a cartoon world. But this AI show would top everything

>>103458257You wouldn't.
>>103458162Lenin looking ass
>>103458162gross beard
>>103458162Luke Smith embodies everything wrong with modern internet pseudo-intellectualism. He inherited his lifestyle, hasn’t truly contributed anything significant to tech, and yet postures as if he’s the arbiter of Unix philosophy and 'based' living. His desperate attempts to emulate figures like Richard Stallman or Terry A. Davis are laughable—he lacks their intellect, originality, or genuine contributions. Instead, he thrives on selling an image to gullible followers who mistake his contrarianism for insight.What has he really achieved? A couple of bash scripts, some recycled hot takes, and a grift masquerading as philosophy. His fans cling to him because he tells them what they want to hear, but at the end of the day, Luke is just another self-styled guru exploiting a niche for fame and donations. It's not about free software or self-reliance—it's about feeding his ego and pretending to be relevant in a space where actual innovation and effort matter. If you still idolize him, you’re just another pawn in his performative spectacle, enabling his shallow quest for internet clout.
>>103458162cool beard. he's a true orthodox now
>>103460191memes aside, we all love our orthodox guy

>>103462458What you mean by "4." and "5."? What you are implying with those "lisp", "emac" and "templeos"?
>>103462458>>103462556Oh, you meant the image and not what I said. Now it makes sense. True I guess :D
>>103458162And he still DOESN'T HAVE LIVESTOCK!
>>103462588but Luke knows BLM and he kneels to the BLM flag. Kenny doesn't do any of that
>>103458162half the posts ITT were made by himself.fuck this narcissist faggot.
>>103458162He's changed, but because he's further and further adopting the Christian phronema. I'm glad he's also laying off on releasing videos. As neophytes, we must be particularly careful.
>>103461932>>103458162>>103461709found three threads up (there's more).each is about grifters named luke (the OP), mental outlaw and lunduke.it's been proven that mental outlaw is a fed.what about lunduke and luke?why do these two get to spam their monetized grift blogs that pays them $$$ for each click from suckers here?are they feds?do they pay mods?do mods think this board hasn't turned into /pol/ yet?

>>103460191show me the video where Luke says dreaming is Satanic, I'm curious
>>103464493not him but herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snhV1owGCSMi don't agree with the vid but he is also talking about daydreaming and it kinda left me to ponder
>>103463540there's no difference between christcucks and jews.actually there is. christcucks worship jews.
>>103464610Luke has a point, imagination opens the gate way to altered states of consciousness. But where I disagree is imagination makes me hyper productive and I don't have the problem where I fantasize more about the goal then actually doing it but then again my goals are developing GIMP Plugins in my own bedroom not real life stuff. So I can see how a normal would suffer from hyper imagination problems.Imagination is what allows me to feel like I'm saving the world from George Soros and Klaus Schwab while making GIMP plugins completely dis attached from reality. As a result I have 101 GEGL based GIMP plugins due to my hyper active imagination. Luke is right though I am prideful (about my GIMP plugins), and also lustful and lazy but I don't do that thing where I look for flaws in other people to make myself feel superior. I prefer building others up or being neutral to others.
>>103460191Its 4chan so everyone is a edgy contrarian. Overall, Luke is /g/ core.
>>103458162Can't he glue some of that beard on to his dome?

>>103460102lol is that Denshi?
>>103460191I 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 ago 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's 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.
>>103458162Fuck, he's looking rough
>>103458162dear pajeet OP, can you please put the name "luke smith" in your future ops so i can filter them? i do not want to see this retarded grifter every single day. thank you
>>103458162Why are you posting a religious schizophrenia channel on a technology board of all places?
>>103468475just like everything in christianity
>>103458165Would be funny if he reappeared with a fresh turkish hairline
>>103458162robocop 2 lookin ass
>>103471743can't unsee
>>103467569Yes, he looks terrible.
>>103470550yep, on his website he also says 'no selfies'.
>>103471743Thanks for ruining Robocop for me, anon.
>>103460191>dreaming is satanicThat's easily his best video. Probably the only video he's ever made with any sort of value.If you didn't get anything out of it, you're just a dreamer.
>>103458162lmao his hair is growing downwards
>spend years bashing bugmen that change their ideologies constantly and identifying themselves based on their temporary beliefs>changes his religion yet againwhat did he mean by this
>>103460191I like his podcastI agree with a lot of what he says, even the dream bit you mentioned has some truth to it imoI think all religions are fake and gay but I would still rather live in a society where most people are orthodox christians than the tranny and homo hellscape we have todayeven though he's bald i wish luke smith the best and hope he finds a wife and a happy life
>>103470620>I will always remember Luke Smith as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single /g/ meme at onceNot really /g/ related but i remember when he bought his used lexus thinking he basically ripped off this poor liberal because he got it for cheap and he had heard how they're the "thinkpads of cars" (he knows nothing else about cars).Then the head gasket blew or the oil pressure dropped or something else that basically totaled the car and it happened when he was out of town traveling kekNo hate though I've done something similar in the past
>>103463461I just watched this whole webm, was it supposed to prove that he's a fed? I don't get itbtw I'm a retard
>>103460191Luke's pretty good at analysis but sometimes his conclusions are retarded. I'm just glad he's alive and didn't bleed out in a bathtub somewhere in Romania.
>>103458162He looks like he became an orthodox priest
>>103458162based brother lukecheers anon
>>103475158>hope he finds a wifeHe's married.
>>103458162I wonder why these threads never get deleted, even though a lot of people in this board don't consider them related to technology in any form, and probably many report this crap all the time.
>attempting to go back to religionsadI get the pain and the issues people are faced to but no one can unironically believe in god anymore, it's just larp

>>103478299well you're going back to 0 AD so...
>>103478410the fool has said in his heart there is no godyou have not yet begun to understand the nature and structure of reality if you believe there is no creator
>>103478465well if "creator" could mean something like the algorithm to the game of life then maybeas in, some "thing" set a few basic rules and then emerged everything we knowbut if you believe all the books and the lore, then you're unironically and massively retarded
>>103478494why? because of your personal incredulity?the best way to understand reality as it is, is the (orthodox) christian message. there is a personal (triune) god who has created all things, visible and invisible.you want the source of all things to be an "algorithm" so you can obtain a mastery over creation, but I say to you, true understanding and mastery will only be granted to you when you empty yourself and cleave to the will of god.

>>103458162>norwood maxingLuke could have saved him
>>103478607>unironically believing in the abrahamic jew godlol lmao even. if god is real, he doesn't give a fuck about humanity
>>103458162I listened to the episode, and Luke sounds even more deranged and retarded than before. He's gone full Christcuck and won't go back to making the Linux videos we enjoy (or hate) watching.
>>103483529The Christian God is not the same as the jew god no matter what the kikes and the "judeo-christian values" lobotomites say. This has nothing to do with belief btw, it is just theology. One is a triad the other is a monad, one is fundamentally based on Platonic Mysticism a the other on Eastern Mysticism. The Christian one is ecumenical and the jewish one is tribal. Early Christian saints considered Greek Philosophy and Mythology(or at least Drama) of equal value in preparing people for the coming of Christ to the OT and later theologians believed that the Roman Empire itself played a pivotal role. Christ himself was honoured in his birth by three "wise men", magi in the original greek which pretty much means Persian Zoroastrian priests and was baptized by John the Baptist who was NOT an adherent of the jewish faith but most probably a Mandaean.The idea the Christians and Jews believe in the same god is just jewish psy-ops. One of the many ways they brainwash goys into sabbos-goys. Want to mock christ-cucks? Go ahead. But please don't parrot jewish lies.

>>103472850lol where did you find this?
>>103482997yeah the Lexus vid is still on his channel but I think the car breaking down story was from a livestream so might be harder to findhe probably had the car for at least a year before it broke down, maybe I made it sound like it broke down instantly after purchase which I don't think was the caseit was kinda funny though because he was expecting it to last him 4-5 yearsthey're generally reliable cars though and I don't think he made a stupid choice by buying it
>>103484073>he's afraid of upsetting god by misleading people or some shit>>103475391>Called the luxe Toyota the "thinkpad of cars">It blows up on him>Doesn't follow up on that little tidbitMaybe that isn't as farfetched as it sounds at face value.
Sweet. Liked his ranger video. Nice to see he’s still kicking
>>103460099he will never be based as ted
>>103460191I really hope the replies to this post are le trollering. Luke is such a fucking retard. He's a niche lolcow.
>>103458162Well, that’s an hour of my day saved
>>103460191I think he's cringe because he took 4chan memes seriously, but I don't hate him per se.
>>103484281https://denshi.org/blog/18-rules-over-technology/
>>103460191Only a few retards hate him, but he gas shown himself a poser a few times.Remember his stance on vidya? On one vid he accidentally shown his game library on a laptop. He coped with "it's for nostalgia purposes".The rumors of him being a trust fund kid are also true.
