It appears this is an "April Fools" joke.

It is not clearly labeled as a joke and the satire would certainly not be clear to those unfamiliar with Linux.

My very first 3 minute YouTube short is finally up on my channel! I decided to play a quick little game of CraftMine from the Minecraft April Fools update. I promise, this adventure might be short but it goes way off the rails just the same as the others~ ​:menhera_admire:

On April 1, 1957, the BBC’s Panorama fooled 8 million viewers with a 3-minute prank about a ‘Swiss spaghetti harvest,’ narrated by Richard Dimbleby. Showing farmers picking spaghetti from bushes, it tricked many Britons unfamiliar with pasta—then an exotic dish—thanks to the BBC’s credibility and the era’s limited culinary exposure. #AprilFools #BBC

@NatureMC It feels like a belated #AprilFools but alas it is reality.

I do try to laugh at it. So when the tears go down my face you dont know if its because of the laughter or the legit crying. Maybe both.

On the brightside, #spring has come and me and the dog will play fetch in the park. Maybe I'll take my daughter with me. Depends on how tired she is.

The big one was FlightRadar24's display of "live" tracking for two fictitious Concorde flights, which fooled a few despite the date. (Concordes have not flown in over 20 years. 18 of 20 airframes built are now in museums.) simpleflying.com/tracking-conc #aviation #travel #avgeek #humor

April fools is a useful tool to help train people to question what they think and to think carefully about the content rather than simply digesting information that is served to them.

For me it's the world's cyber aware training. If you can't spot them you need to train more.
