Wait a minute, I recognize that wallpaper reference...
Hbomberguy? The "sell their house to who Ben???" part?
Did ya notice the "Hsexyguy" reference too? I think Nicco has a crush.
Such a shame. I think it was really smart for Linux users to own the meme "Linux sucks" and use it as an opportunity to constructively criticize our own shortcomings. Because that's what it takes to be progressive. Ironic how important it is to him to conserve the status quo.
Ought to give shoutouts to Tommy Tallarico for inventing Linux
god, that self-hype section gave me so many tallarico vibes
wow, this video must have taken ages to make. You can really tell by how well organized it is
It is absolutely epic ;-) Only half-way through, but I have to say that it is incredibly well made.
I love how this watches a lot like a "Hsexyguy" video (didn't think we'd notice that?). Especially the outro. I half expected you to bust through the wall at one point.
Keep doing your thing, Nicco. In my opinion, you're one of the most watchable Linux content channels.
When I was younger, I would have agreed with that rude argument. Since then, however, I've worked on an open source project of my own, and I've actually built up some experience in the world of software development.
Being rude, I've found, is counterproductive. You either discourage people, or you just succeed in angering them. Someone who is angry will likely not learn from the mistakes they have made and is unlikely to do what had been asked from them. Resulting in more lost productivity down the line.
The only time when being rude is effective is when being nice is ineffective. Even then, it is often better to just stick to insulting the work done and not the person who had done the work. "This code sucks" is better than "my grandmother could write better code."
This will definitely stir the hornet's nest, but this is well made. I appreciate you for making this video.
why? It's just a very dishonest, biased attempt to cancel Lunduke. Dude wants to make his ideology the only accepted standard. He's a fanatical cultist which gets triggered if people don't use his vocabulary like "deadname" or "transgender"; he thinks he has the right to impose these on everyone.
@ 💀💀💀
@, Cry about it bigot!!! And cry about it some more!
@ yeah sure, not like the people who get triggerd by people using the words deadname, transgender, or just people going by a different name they chose themself.
@@Alex_Vir it's not really a trigger, at least not like the original concept from psychiatry. There is no trauma involved. Just a deep intellectual disagreement, along with the perception that no one can use these words honestly. Transgender specifically is self-contradictory in the own terms of the ideology that created it, so much that it's usual to see someone saying something like "a trans[gender] woman is a woman"
I remember Stallman showed up at DTU back in like 2014 or so, and I was there. While he was advocating for his position he was also pulling the skin from between his toes and eating it. This is why the FSF isn’t popular. 😂
Oh God, why did you remind me of it?
He's definitely a weirdo. Both in the ways that the world needs. And in the "oh god why, please don't" kind of way.
Oh come on, he was recycling! 😛😂😂
I can see he has been at the Technical University of Denmark multiple times.
I am no psychiatrist but it does sound like he has autism (like me, I do not eat the skin between my toes though, lol).
what...What...WHAT seriously WHAT r u saying that someone actually pulls of dead skin n eats it? nah must be a joke....someone post a link n prove me wrong
i figured the wallpaper in the back was an HBomberGuy reference but then you actually showed the video!
Can we make the cat ears thing a thing for every video? It fits you very well.
err you can surely try to convince me
@@niccoloveslinux ...Please?

I don't think anyone can ever be completely apolitical in any type of content. Absolutely anything can be considered political to some because politics affects anything and everything, it's just a matter of how different your political views are before any of your actions/opinions start to become political. Some people say they are avoiding politics just to push their political opinions and having others believe they're an innocent apolitical person getting attacked by angry political activists.
Truth imo. Saying you "don't do politics" is the same as saying you don't believe in gravity.
If you sincerely believe that you should be able to define politics objectively and then tell me how a 10 second video featuring a guinea pig eating a strawberry is in any way political. Also how do politics affect rocks on Pluto in any way?
@@gensoustudio4703I don't think you can objectively define anything but people can for political reasons take issues with the content of those videos. Ethical vegans probably don't like such animal videos lol.
@@AndersHass I didn't know "ethical vegans" cared about the consumption of strawberries, since they're all about animal products. lol. But still doesn't address the rocks on Pluto.
Still what you just said illustrates the contradiction. One can not simultaneously claim "Absolutely anything can be considered political to some because politics affects anything and everything" without being able to objectively define it in a way where it does exactly that. You're not just saying there is some hypothetical insane person that considers any random thing political, you're saying their insane belief would have truth since politics affect "anything and everything". Which would mean "politics" is an observer independent phenomena or some sort of truth about reality itself. It also falls apart if you lack an objective definition because the insane person's consideration of what is political can be dismissed by anyone.
@@gensoustudio4703 Everything is politics, even a "10 second video featuring a guinea pig eating a strawberry". Maybe the result isn't meant to be political, but the process is. What is the video's objective? What tools are used? On what platform the is video hosted? Etc…
When I first switched to Linux, Lunduke used to give his political opinion all the time, then he got backlash in the comments because he suggest Mozilla was funding Antifa, and suddenly decided to claim 'no politics' on his supposed 'tech' channel. Stallman is a strange guy, but he is a staunch defender of Free Software which is why many people wanted him back in the Linux foundation. In fact, Lunduke turned around and wanted Stallman out at one point, I guess he found out that Stallman wasn't conservative.
If his channels or sites have comments I'd wager the "no politics" rule is only enforced against anyone who disagrees with him and makes a good point.
@@HontasFarmer80this. But that is the standard on those right wing platforms.
Man, I must have been watching him before he went all radical. I don't remember him ever giving his political opinion back in the day. At some point he just kinda vanished from my radar. I completely forgot he existed until this video.
@@henrickbull He used talk about breaking up Google, about DRM video, digital privacy. All kinds of stuff that would have been politics related to tech. But then he decided 'no politics' after he suggested some open-source projects were funding radical groups. (I still haven't seen any proof of that was true.) then he left CZcams to go to Odysee and came back after a few years or so.
Lunduke is hardly conservative.
It's just the left has gone so far out into the loony left field that anyone to the right of Mao Tse Tung is considered a fascist.
Reason 1: Linux doesn't suck
(if you've seen one of those videos, the title of that yearly talk has always been clickbait, btw)
@@thibaultmol Luckily, I have not
True, but Linux Desktop still suck time to time ;)
True
YES AGREE. :)
this is an amazing video i like that there is an openly progressive content that is foss related
Part 1: You dig into his character. The key part of why his show doesn't suck is he brings light to the decline of Linux foundation funding. They should spend way more on funding Linux kernel and linux projects such as KDE. The rest, sure he's a very poliitical guy. You can ignore that.
Lunduke is a quack, and I say that with all the respect he's due. He's gone from someone reputable in the Linux sphere to someone who's eccentric views can't be trusted.
Based and correct.
Obviously, Lunduke doesn't know how to use linux anymore.
Says the chronic liar who can't keep his story straight for two comments in a row 🤣
@@kpcraftster6580 and pray tell when did I lie?

Thank you for this video Nicco, excellent quality as usual! I almost wish you also published a longer more complete version of this video that includes all your swears (obviously in Italian)

Every time I decide to give that guy another chance I wind up disgusted, writing 10000 words in a comment and then realizing I don't want to deal with the results of posting it. Thanks for daring to actually cover this stuff and so sorry for everything stupid that probably happened as a result, you are doing the Lord's work here.
I dont get the point keep politics away from linux when linux in of itself is a literal politic statement of freedom.
FOSS is indeed a fully libertarian concept.
@@SnakePlissken25 I would argue its more left leaning since FOSS software is made by the people for the people.
@@AviatorXD Check the proportions of code contributions from individuals to those of companies.
That's tangental though; It is libertarian simply because it doesn't aim to restrict anyone.
@@AviatorXD If it were left leaning it would restrict access based on class and status. Libertarian fits better.
@uhruojlmao... Marx rolling his grave "Stateless, classless Society"
Libertarian is pro companies. If a company like idk... Microsoft had idk, outsized impact on the market, and could say, lobby/bribe the education system (private, public, doesn't matter) to use microsoft's operating system. Then that environment wouldn't exactly allow Linux to exist (I mean it can. But that's really against the odds now is it.)
Extremely well structured and researched expose. Thank you for this work. It makes a lot of things fall into place.
and since I know you're probably going to read all the comments, can you please link to your stuff on the "About" section of your channel, that's always where I go look for stuff
I'll add it on my to-do list!
agreed. snaps are wet farts.
Eeew… that sounds very unpleasant. Probably doesn’t smell like roses either.
Thank you for spending time and energy into this video. This is great community service!
Great Video! Thank you so much.
I still think "pleasure card" is a cute and clever word play on "business card" and "business or pleasure" and I'm willing to die on that hill! (ok, not really willing, but still)
Tearing the wallpaper gave me Hbomberguy vibes :D
Awesome video!
Edit: you actually mention him :D
Awesome video, thanks for your hard work 👍
Congrats. Very good job. I had only previously watched Lunduke's video on the new gnome exec director (which I found cringe worthy) so being aware about what type of person he is, is really important to me. Well done. 1:10:31
As sad as it it to say. For Richard Stallman's case:
There is no great genius without some touch of madness said Aristotle.
He's still the one who initiated the whole ass thing.
yeah, the line between insanity and genius is a narrow (and blurry) one
This is a video that ive been waiting for someone to make. Tech people very often pretend they are above politics and aocial issues while pushing their own views and I haven't seen a video calling them out. I appreciate this video for what it does to start a conversation that really needs to happen about CZcamsrs in thr tech space.
This is a great video. Thank you for providing some good insight.
Thanks!
Thank you, this was needed!
Don't know if it was intended... but the thumbnail looks like that meme of the two ladies pointing at a cat and you're the cat lol
Great video. Summarizing the issue with a certain person.
With all that is going on. Motivates me to maybe bring out more Linux specific videos again on my channel. Dried out a bit since people are crazy about smartphone cameras and not so much about package managers, desktops or the linux command line 😂
No, he did not offer a summary. Instead, he offered a very long video trying to cancel Lunduke, with many lies intertwined with half-truths and ideological absolutism where his own ideology is the only acceptable moral standard (that we can see with cultist vocabulary like "deadname").
@ Hmm... then maybe they both should talk directly with each other. You think that would help?
@@lltechview ah, it's very easy to say that after an hour long video full of slanders and accusations against Lunduke. As far as I remember from the video, Nicco made no attempt to settle things up with Lunduke before doing this video. He just made this biased dossier against him and published it to get him cancelled.
people get so defensive of free/open source leadership, but those projects don't need specific people at the helm to continue to exist (isn't that the whole point?)
i love computers and open source but it pains me to see people in the community with zero political literacy and in many cases straight-up reactionaries
tldr Great video. I'll be donating some money to the org of your choosing. (did you pick one, by the way?)
I've had a lot of suggestions of the Trevor project, but I'm also tempted by my city LGBT organization. I'm waiting for the YT ad revenue to be transferred right now
An excellently researched video. Thank you, Nicco!
Just a note for the editor, you should really consider making those text corrections like "he still has it" appear on the screen for a little longer. You don't want to try to be funny by showing something that only some will see, you want all people to see that correction otherwise it's pointless.
The idea was to make you stop the video if you want to read them. It's somewhat common
@@niccoloveslinux I love the video, but this was really annoying if I'm honest, maybe like a second instead of a couple frames would be better
anyway, love your video and summary of the 'slow but sure decline of lunduke' : ( : )
Great video, always wondered what happened to that guy.
people have no idea what "insurrection" means
Why is it at 23:00 in CET? Italy uses CET as well... Why are you steaming so late?
I will actually mention the reason in the video

also, also, I had no idea that you were PD affiliated and I want to let you know that that I voted PD in 2022, but only because it was the least bad option on the table (and strategic voting ofc)
ahaha apparently everyone voted PD as the least bad option
@@niccoloveslinux Pretty much same situation for me, sometimes to rotate a bit I also voted for +Europa but it's always between those two parties that I decide. I actually find it extremely odd that someone like Luke from the opposite end of the political spectrum compared to us cares about Linux and the FSF ideology, my best guess is that he did not understand it fully.
@@plarpoon I'm not surprised. People who are against any kind of external limitation are correlated both with free software, as in freedom from companies and privacy from governments, and far right wing politics, being against the government intervening in any form
@@niccoloveslinux Your reasoning actually makes a lot of sense, thank you for the quick answer!
there arent a lot of linux youtubers that arent conspiracy spreading, tin-foil hat (maybe not completely openly, but theyll hint at having a basement stocked full of canned goods), types. ive noticed.
The Linux to conspiracy luddite pipeline is real
@@KoopstaKlicca tech bros in general are weirdos. I daily drive Arch (though dual boot windows for some software and games still these days) but I fucking HATE interacting with most of the other people that use Linux. I have one Swedish friend online I enjoy talking about this sort of stuff with but otherwise I grown interacting with a lot of people in the "Linux community"
Bravo, liked the music, the research and chapters!
I did try this once reverted back to windows 10 because due to being too complicated imo
"Company culture" is a thing. If you work in a tech company where everybody's a guy, bringing in a woman, no matter how great she is at her job, will cause a shock to many there. There are many guys working on tech who are just not comfortable with women around. Seen it first hand. So even if she's great, just her presence (at first) can affect total productivity of the team negatively.
That's why hiring diversity is a thing. It's not about hiring under-qualified individuals, but a push to hire enough of them so that the discomfort barrier can be surmounted as quickly as possible.
My body is ready
hbomberguy flashbacks
lol at 56:55 you talk about him
this is an absolutely excellent video, and you've earned a metric fuckton of respect. amazing work
This was BEAUTIFULLY done! Bravo.
Can we get a video on how to report bugs, request features, suggestions, contribute (properly). everything is everywhere and its confusing compared to gnome.
Bryan's descent has been pretty disappointing. I used to listen to Linux Action Show ages ago, and he left, and Chris started doing like 20 different shows a week including some conspiracy stuff. At the time I thought maybe Bryan didn't want to be associated with where things were going, but now I don't know. I completely stopped listening to Chris, and every time I check up on Bryan I'm more disappointed in him.
33:20 the story wasn't even about a 3 year old child, it was a story that *started* when the child was three, and clearly discusses the child getting older. If I write the story of my life and start it at age 5, that doesn't mean I am 5 years old.
Nice investigation, thanks for giving some clarity. Content creators have a huge responsability, missinformation hurts too much and I don't want that for our Linux community or any other. 🤗I hope this is a correct use of this emoji :)
Unpopular opinion (unfortunately): children should not be forced a gender role. The 3yo child in the example simply wanted to be himself but like you said, he was still forced to follow the female gender role to some degree which is nonsense.
I first watched Lunduke many years ago (like more than 10 years ago), didn't pick up on the politics too much at the time. And its always possible that I just never caught one of the videos with the political themes at the time. I haven't watched his videos like at all in like 7 or 8 years at this point, but his videos have popped up more and more for me on the recommended page. His far right views have been on very blatant display in every single one of them.
In honor of this great video, I'll install the KDE copr on my desktop. First time since I tried out the DE on my RPI4 years ago. 🎉
Goddamn, I'm so happy I subbed to the channel when I did. (LTT linus vs like use linus). And since I love KDE project (or Kproject), it was a boon as well, but these are some really great coverage/documentaries/journalism I love. Great work.
Yeah... there's a reason he's only ever been on the fringe. As linux has become more widely used his views have become more exclusionary
Great video. I've watched some of your videos before and the content is always good, but this got me to subscribe. To make a small constructive criticism, though, I would have liked to see a bit less emphasis on just talking about a long list of things Lunduke has done, and more on why his toxic political views are dangerous and harmful. I know that's going to be very obvious to those who are somewhat more politically aware than average, but for many others, that sort of context is needed for them to understand why this is something they should even care about at all. I know you didn't try to hide the hbomberguy influence in this video, given that you even mentioned some of his videos. Well, one of the (many) things that makes hbomberguy's videos genuinely exceptional and not just good or great, is that he *always* gives the sort of context I'm talking about here. Still, great job considering it seems to be the first time you've done this kind of content and covered to this extent.
To add to all of that, his slideshows look pretty ugly
there is no T in nigh
Excellent video. Very well put together.
Thank you so much for making this video, it was really good and I can finally send people a reference as to some of these people in our communities :D
Also I love the catears. meow
Huh. I think I watched some of the pre-covid "Linux Sucks" videos, finding them if not agreeable, then the interesting kind of opinionated. Fascinating to know that if I poked juuuust a bit further, I would've found the guy hates people like me.
It was long and long video but I watched till the end.
Thank you
If the masses don't even care how smartphones app sucks compared to PC, how could we fill the gap between the savvy and the regular users? But mostly, is it so necessary? The IT field needs customers. Customers does damages or get damaged in several ways. We need this circle in order to don't run out of business.
This is sooooo good dude. Nice work. Excellent research. I knew I liked you.
Linux sucks, but i still use it as there is no better alternative.
except servers, they're great 👍
Nice job on your first long form piece of content! You've come such a long way over the years.
I never did a deep dive on him but it was pretty apparent after watching a fair amount of his content many years ago this was the type of politics he believed in and I stopped giving him views, it's a shame he and many other more prominent linux creators are part of the unhinged part of the spectrum.
Happy to have your voice rising up, and I hope others like Brodie don't continue to platform people who espouse such nonsense, especially in the current environment where it can be literally dangerous to members of the community.
It's important to stamp out pipelines to hateful and conspiracy filled content, there is such thing as the paradox of tolerance.
"...dont continue to platform people who espouse such nonsense..." another one from the cancelling crowd? Disagreements must be resolved by eliminating people from the equation and not debate? Diversity matters, except when it's diversity of opinions?
🤡
@"I'm the victim" is what you're shouting from the rooftops here. While at the same time following an ideology actively taking rights away from people, banning books and tying themselves closely to an utterly bigoted and dysfunctional religion. You are no victim. Just following politics only benefitting the top 5-10% and leaving the rest of the people out to die. An ideology based fundamentally on in-group and out-group thinking. An ideology only alive through damning everybody different to themselves.
You don't have a right for hate to be platformed, full stop. Especially not in the non-murican regions of the world. People like you would get an aneurysm if you ever happened to move to germany/france/the nordics, heh.
Especially in regards to hate speech, it's always about weighing the rights of both sides. Who's more important, the one being harrassed or the harasser's free speech? Most of the highly developed countries consider the harrassed's right to not be harrassed more important. Only the US swings the other way here and is for good reason considered a clown show by the rest of the world in regards to its completely and utterly insane politics.
You can't endorse the holocaust here in germany, nor can you call for extermination of any people. Nor can you institutionally or socially harrass anybody for sexuality or ethnicity. And we're still alive. Society hasn't collapsed. Discourse in the country has been balanced for a long time, despite (or i'd say "because of") those laws.
The world isn't black and white, my dude. Other people and ways of life matter just as much as yours.
56:26 just a heads up, that video is satire. He is terrible at satire, but he isnt serious about that one.
You have valid criticisms. Thank you for going in depth, there were a lot of stuff I hadn't seen yet.
I disagree when you ask people not to "platform" him, but pointing out his politics beforehand is a sensible idea.
So glad to have your voice in this space Nicco!
Now if only there were any brains behind it
@@kpcraftster6580 cope harder
@@archip8021 Nah all leave the seething and coping to you fascists that can't even admit that's what you are
I am of two minds as a trans person in this community. On the one hand, I really appreciate how Linux is this space where we all work together in the name of freedom. And I really genuinely think that liberty is more important than my own political views. I'm happy that Linux acts as a meeting place where the sides the world is currently so heavily polarised into can come together and work on something and see that we all at least do support freedom. On the other hand transphobia ain't fun to experience and it can be jarring to realise that you're in a space where a lot of people are hostile towards you for who you are.
I understand the logic behind people who support liberty so strongly also wanting the liberty to say what they want. I also understand how it could feel like Linux is losing some aspect of its focus on liberty by people getting kicked out for things like being transphobic. But then equally, me wanting to live as the person I am is also a matter of liberty. And as much as the people saying they just want to speak their disdain for me can say that, I also can't help but notice that they don't really like being harassed by people on the internet either.
I appreciate this video Nicco. It is genuinely nice to see an explicitly trans positive space. I hope you take care of your mental health and that you look after yourself if this kicks off into a bigger thing. Genuinely if you're burnt out and if you end up finding that making videos like this gets you hate and that makes things harder, remember that you're already doing so much good for the world as is. Much more than most people do. You're obviously a very altruistic person and the world is lucky to have you.
It's as they say: "Your right to swing your fist around ends at the tip of my nose." Aka, your rights ends when they start affecting others.
There's a reason why hate speech is called such a thing, nobody has the "human right" to oppress and bully others into submission. Its a cowardly tactic.
Bigots have no place in the linux community.
Freedom of speech should be a responsibility, not an excuse. I appreciate that you are more aware of its seriousness than people like Lunduke.
The problem is that currently it does not resemble equality, but rather the promotion of all minorities at the expense of those who cannot count on special treatment. Additional points in studies only for your orientation, skin color or gender. Special, free courses only for women, etc. According to regulations in Poland, a woman working in the cold must be given a warm meal if she consumes a certain amount of calories while working. But a man will get such a meal if he uses twice as much energy. Did you know that in Poland women retire 5 years earlier than men? And men live 10 years shorter. We have a public pension system like most European countries, if you are from the US the concept may be a bit abstract but it is discrimination. I'm disabled and I probably won't live to see retirement, so fuck this "equality".
I'm sorry you've experienced transphobia in the community. I hope you know that the vast majority of folks I've interacted with are allies. You're welcome here, and we will back you up.

Amazing video thank you for making it ❤
Wow. Incredibly well done. I was hesitant to watch something drawing more attention to Lunduke and generally my policy is to deplatform and just not talk about transphobic, conspiracy theorist folks but it is important for people to understand why so many in the community have done so. It's not some coordinated liberal conspiracy or whatever, we just, you know, don't think it's healthy to give attention and mind space to someone spreading hate and conspiracies about ourselves or our friends. Thank you for making and sharing this as the definitive “Why no Lunduke” source.
This video fails to account that some things are indeed silly being smart compensates for being hateful, if not straight up causes that
I used to follow Lunduke a lot and even interacted with him in Twitter. However, going to extremes is not what I was expecting from him or anyone. I tend to not give my political views because I'm Por Guns, but also Pro LGBTQ+ Community. I'm Pro Abortion and Pro multi religious, but also believe that If a man likes "Manly things" they are entitled to do them. I'm not of left or right, simply like some things and dislike others. That being said, Lunduke has good tech articles and if we can separate art from the artist, then I think is ok.
I luv you man, 🎉 Happy Mardi Gras.... 🎉
How possible could diversity hiring be interpreted any other way then discriminatory hiring? If you weigh in factors a candidate have no power over in their employment process, that is the very definition of discriminatory hiring, is it not?
That's the issue of not hiring on merits / accomplishments alone. Both "not being Diverse" and "being Diverse" is a loosing conversation. You'll get lambasted no matter what side you lie on. Personally hire the right person for the job based on their "fit" aka can they do the job and are they the best candidate, etc.
That is the issue with discriminatory hiring, it lowers thebquelity of work regardless of intention, since it requires that unrelated and unimportant factors related to the task become a deciding factor. It does not matter which group or race someone targets, when they introduce those policies, performance drops and the rate of mistakes increase. So far every company that has done those discriminatory hiring practices, have run into issues.
They should hire solely on merits alone, and I'm not talking about gender diversity merits, or racial merits, but actual positions that matter. That being said, they shouldn't only look at degrees, but actual work history. Diversity hire is in fact, discriminatory, both ways.
@@yosutzuhruoj The issue is people don't do that, the legislation exists because otherwise these people would only hire mediocre people that look and act like them. Your assumption is based on the idea that with no legislation people wouldn't be hiring in bigoted ways, but that's what was happening. There have been studies where people found that even if a candidate with a black sounding name applied for the same position and had the same or even better qualifications they would consistently choose the person with the white sounding name every single time. These kinds of laws exist specifically because people were not hiring skilled effective workers simply because the person involved was not white, male, etc. They were instead going for mediocre white male candidates.
Calling out people for getting political is not at all the same thing as getting political.
You mentioned about diversity hiring being political. I'll agree. But, if we agree those practices are political, Lunduke calling them out, is still him being anti politics in Linux.
Even if he is being political, he doesn't ever call for people to be excluded from the community for their political beliefs. He's entitled to his options, as is everyone. But they shouldn't affect someone's ability to contribute to a project. If you write good code and are nice to people, who cares?
Imo Linux doesn't suck but GNu+Linux is crappy combination. I have high hopes for chimera Linux to change the way we make Linux distros and have more gnu free distros.
I don't get it. What part of "only an adult can give consent properly" is hard to understand?
Anyway, I also am into "none of that matter to linux itself" way.
Most of the negative comments here seem completely convinced that a guy being gay is something obviously political, that we must all see it like they do. It's never explained why. Am I a walking talking page of legislation? How could I explain to someone I'm not? Of course I couldn't, no one's interested in that. We're just destined to pointlessly fight forever because my presence on this planet is "political" and invariably bad. It's depressingly fatalistic.
It's political in that they don't want queer people like us to exist so our existence is made innately political against our will. We don't really get to choose if our existence is political or not, the people with political power and the pervading culture decide if we get the right to live our lives without being fucked with.
What customizing linux does to a person
Hey Niccolo: Nigh = Near. Night = Nuit. Please acknowledge the difference.
3:05 Hey, Nicco. The "Nigh" from "End is Nigh" is pronounced as "N-eye", not "Night". Just wanted to clarify that. I know you're not a native english speaker. 🙂
33:20 this lie of his *REALLY* pisses me off, as a trans person.
Gender dysphoria can affect people that young, some of my earliest memories were gender dysphoria. If a kid that young is transitioning, they are strictly SOCIALLY transitioning, which is changing their clothes/hair/name. Anything medical would come like, 7-10 years later, and would be limited to blockers that temporarily pause puberty. But he knows a conservative audience that has no experience with trans people would think of a kid transitioning and jump to "Oh! They're getting The Surgery! How Horrible!"
(also thank you!!! for being speaking against transphobia. There's a lot of it in online spaces and it is just refreshing to see someone that isn't trans condemn it :)
>temporarily pause puberty
yeah no permanent effects whatsoever. groomer²
@@user-ro1cc8tz6d I know that puberty blockers do have some side effects, especially those related to bone growth, but calling a person a groomer just because they pointed out the flawed logic of other people?
@@user-ro1cc8tz6d TEMPORARILY block puberty to achieve greater happiness and be themselves. Also pubescent children have agency, they understand these things if they are involved, they are not _vessels_ for adults to shape how they like. Leave them their authonomy.
@@Azarilhyour mindset is actually worrying.
You are an amazing human being. Thank you for being you!! 🥰🥰
I really wasn't expecting to watch this entire video in one sitting, especially not right now (I've got a giant project due in a couple of hours), but I did. It was just really well made. And it's nice to see someone level-headed in this space, as well. I mean, I'm biased, as I share the same views you do, so I guess it's just nice to participate in our inclusive little echo-chamber, heh.
There was a time when I watched his work and kinda agreed with him (tech-wise). I very nearly funded his studio project. I even bought one of his existing System76 systems when he was upgrading back in 2018. (I only *just* moved it to server duty.) But as you mentioned, his politics and tech blend way more often than he claims, and when I reached out to ask him a question back in 2020 regarding Framework, he responded with a sentence in response to my actual question, then a paragraph about why he didn't think I should be involved in tech anymore. As far as I could tell from that email, his rational was that "trans people are invading Linux and ruining it", but at that point I was already on the fence about following him anymore (he'd just started his commentary on the pandemic), and so I decided he didn't need to be a part of my online experience.
It's a real shame, because from a pure tech point-of-view, early Lunduke was fun and interesting. A sad "never meet your heros" moment for sure.
EDIT: Wanna add that 2020 was when I first changed my name, including in my email client. I still hadn't updated my email address, and had previous communications with him prior as part of buying the computer, so he was at least passingly familiar with who I was. Just in-case there's some confusion on how he found out. It's not something I would have told him otherwise at the time, cause I was pretty sure he wasn't gonna be kind about it.
At the end of the day - Money Talks and BS walks - If you don't agree with a content creator or someone you interact with then choose not to support them, or better yet leave the politics at the door. That's how I'm treating these sort of situations.
I'm not too familiar in linux. but getting older I have felt the divide. It's hard enough for individuals to understand people they don't know it takes time, and in the work force it's not about making friends as doing a good job. My experience with trans in the work place is more of tip toeing and working around them. I've dated trans, been offered engagement, but at work it's different, Had them break down. There can be a lot of emotional baggage. So to that degree I can understand the nervousness of the fear of the unknown. Not every job comes with stress, I can understand why he may fear with deadlines, but ultimately trans are here to stay. I have no knowledge of the guy himself to say. But rather than look down on your hero. You could question what it was that brought him to that level of dissidence. It may not retort to you, but maybe there is a line he's fixated on. That he's had to deal with. But he allowed his emotions to get the best of him. don't let it stop you from your goals in life.
Thank you! Well spoken and absolutely necessary.
I stopped watching him even without knowing how deep the rabbit hole went. Even his "no politics" content was unbearable for political reasons. It was also obvious that no amount of interpretation and ideological disentanglement effort from the audience (short of going out and investigate on our own) could suffice to salvage some of the "objective" information he presented. It just showed too many times to be falsified to serve a point; and even when not, the interest of the topics selected was not always something universal, let's say.
DistroTube's not bad. He does introduce certain remarks and editorializes in a way that just puts me off, so I don't watch him too often. But to be fair to him, he does seem to treat the information he presents seriously enough, and I respect that.
I don't know what Brodie's stance is politically. I just like his videos so far, and nothing ever bothered me too much, lol (I do get some right wing libertarian "vibes" from him, but let's just say, "saner" than Lunduke's, and tolerable). And he answered some of my comments, so he's done due diligence and reinforced the parasocials properly, he's a really cool dude ;)
