Been there. Done that. Did not find it extreme in any way :)

I can’t remember the name

No problem. Here at Lemmy, we are quite good at guessing.

I start: "Aaa"

Next one, please.

I can only assume that you are very young.

In our times, a good rant has gotten somewhat out of fashion, and that is a sad fact. A good rant does not make you an AH (or anybody else). It is different from spreading hate (which is quite fashionable these days). You must learn the distinction.

He acted like a huge asshole

Not at all. I can't remember anything like that.

But Linus was very likeable among the computer nerds of his own generation. These eccentricities that are criticized today have actually added a lot to his fame.

Cloned even?

Maybe they were open source projects?

own and operate our own local open source LLMs away from the corpos

LLM's LOL but you do understand that you can have only that little wooden cart while they are driving all the Ferraris and Porsches, don't you?

gave me only "complex" answers

It is a complex question, even if you try so hard to deny that :-)

One sender only? Or how many possible senders?

How many Receivers?

Do they need to talk back or send back anything?

How far away are they (in terms of network)?

Oh, well, then, ...

harm to their reputation

Do you mean, people using keyboards do harm a keyboard vendor's reputation?

Can I ask you a math question?

What is hypocrisy to the power of hypocrisy?

have a small backup battery

As far as I understand, that 12V battery was that backup...

defence of companies

LMAO

"Let us defend our parasites who suck our blood, because they are ours!"

inept and childish

I can't help the impression that it is just part of the show. Like a fine-tuned act of weaponized incompetence.

I didn't mean money that they spend for fun. Not at all.

I meant real needs. This means a different (very unusual) point of view regarding salary.

For example, businesses are already required to spend extra money if there is a worker with special needs = disabilities. The company must provide a special chair in the office, extra tools, whatever. Such a person might also have more extra needs with his normal expenses for living.

Ghosts.

You'd better call the Ghostbusters.

That doesn't mean nothing can work however

But yes, it does.

A nice dream, but only a dream.

Unfortunately man is not perfect enough for it to work. Therefore the outcome can be nothing else than a huge threat for mankind.

I don't think anyone can expect they can achieve

I wasn't talking about achieving, but only about wanting.

what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

Why not, and what would be your 'just' criteria instead?

A totally different kind of 'just' approach would be to find out what your workers need for living, and pay them that.

I don't think they know what they want

What would YOU want if you were a military leader of Israel there? (NOT a political one, just a soldier)

I think that they want exactly that. A military goal, not a political one.

For example "kill everybody there who takes a weapon and aims it at Israel, and then take this weapon away from his corpse."
