I would say, finally, in an era of bitter political struggle even in the free software world, finally we see a good humoured hacker joke again

    Did Lunduke now entirely jump on that bandwagon? Seems he now does 3 videos a week “calling out” wokeness and “extreme” leftists and it’s become quite monothematic.

      I can’t stand the guy. Seems like all he does is post videos about him getting triggered about software being developed by people who are vocal about their care for others.

      Like buddy, do you understand what the FOSS community mostly consists of?

      Yeah, he got a bit nuts over time… but i still watch him for his shit stirring and his ranting - but sometimes, even now, he still unearths really interesting bits like that one.

        If a yt channel is unpredictable enough that you can’t turn it on at work where folks can hear it, it’s crossed beyond “rant” and into “inappropriate” territory. I would personally question what I’m getting from this guy, but I’m not here to make your choices for you.

          i don’t actually know the guy you are speaking of, just saying that to be fair work can get stuck up and imposing on the most innocuous shit. “nsfw” can often be overbearing.

        Indeed, the story is funny and weird. Though he used to share lots of interesting and funny perspectives. And these days the Youtube comments underneath are way more funny and on point than all his content.

        Idk, I can’t find that supposed Bluesky and Mastodon discussions, I think he made that up. And he fails to mention the email address is just a text field, people can put anything in there. And while highlighting it, he also completely fails to spot the timezone which is right next to it. And that’s set to UTC-4 so America east coast. And as a blogger/influencer he could at least have sent a mail and see if it bounces before reporting on it… And then he invents what the reviewer’s thought process was according to him, while the real next joke is their nationality, but he doesn’t spot that either. So I don’t know what to make of this. Sure he has a community and reach, and brings attention to niche things. But his own take on it tends to be wrong(?) and not in an inspiring way… In the old days he used to play devil’s advocate and I think that was extremely on point. But you can’t really fabricate “facts” and argue against that, because it turns it from a sarcastic, Socratic dialogue into just framing, spiked with misinformation and the next 15 minutes are just rambling and bullshit… And I think that’s a bit sad because we know he’s able to do more than that. And there’s no shortage of people rambling and talking bullshit, so there is no need for him to jump on it as well. It turns him from the troll he used to be into just your average anti-woke nut without any originality, just a Linux theme slapped on top…
