Luke Smith is an Internet tech mini-celebrity known for making videos about [suckless](suckless.org) software, independent living in the woods and here and there about historical, political, linguist and religious topics. His look has been described as the *default Runescape character*: he is bald, over 30 years old and lives in a rural location in Florida (exact coordinates have been doxxed but legally can't be shared here, but let's just say the road around his house bears his name). He has a podcast called *Not Related!* in which he discusses things such as alternative historical theories -- actually a great podcast. He has a minimalist 90s style website https://lukesmith.xyz/ and his own [peertube](peertube.md) instace where his videos can be watched if one doesn't want to watch them on [YouTube](youtube.md). He is the author of [LARBS](larbs.md) and minimalist recipe site https://based.cooking/. Unfortunately he's a [crypto](cryptocurrency.md) and [brave](brave.md) browser shill.
He's kind of based but also retarded to a great degree at times, for example he used to shill the [Brave](brave.md) browser pretty hard before he realized it was actually a huge scam all along xD Also he's probably a Nazi.
His videos consist of normie-friendly tutorials on suckless software, rants, independent living, live-streams and podcasts. The typical Luke Smith video is him walking somewhere in the middle of a jungle talking about how retarded modern technology is and how everyone should move to the woods.
Luke studies PhD in linguistics but is very critical of academia -- he "speaks" several languages (including [Latin](latin.md)), though many of them to a low level with bad American accent and he can't sometimes even speak English correctly (using phrases such as "the reason is because" etc.). He is a self described [right-winder](left_right.md) and talks in meme phrases which makes his "content" kind of enjoyable. He despises such things as [soydevry](soydev.md), [bloat](bloat.md), "consoomerism" and [soyence](soyence.md).
