| seriously, what's with people's love of this guy? besides politics, I have not seen anything that suggests engineering prowess from this guy, only "rust bad". |

| ▲ | wongogue 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | People like his technical opinion because they like his politics. That’s the whole grift-influencer economy. If someone is good at one thing (and validates some of my views), then obviously he’s right about everything. | | |
| ▲ | themafia 31 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | When people feel underrepresented to the point of being bullied they turn to any voice which seems to reflect even a tiny fraction of their frustrations. There's a real mean spirit in open source lately and a lot of it seems to revolve around political views. There's become this idea that if you and I disagree on politics then it would be impossible for us to write quality software together. It's damaged a lot of good will and cohesion that used to exist within the open source software community. This used to be about making free software to people so that they weren't abused by corporations. Now it's about pushing agendas and creating exclusion criteria. There's only one group in this scenario that benefits from this outcome. If you don't like Lunduke then you should recognize the factors that give rise to people like him. Unless your solution is to completely eliminate anyone who disagrees with you then your apparent mindset only furthers the problem. I wish we could put all this aside and just enjoy open source again. | | |
| ▲ | ryan-c 17 minutes ago | parent [-] | | My existence is not political. If someone doesn't think I should have rights and/or exist and/or thinks I am inferior because of who I am, then no, we cannot write quality software together. If someone disagrees with me on tax, foreign relations, government services, defense, etc policy, sure, we can disagree and still work together. What gives rise to people like Lunduke is not a simple thing, and something I don't think society fully understands. |

| ▲ | dgan an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Dont present our hypothesis as a hard fact. I actually think it is completely false. Not only I was never interested in his political opinions, and followed him because of his humoristic takes "Linux sucks", and not about Rust or whatever; I actually never encountered a single video before joining his "lunduke journal" where his right-wing views would be visible. He has made funny videos, it was fun to watch. Its kinda hard to enjoy them now after learning he s dumb as a rock and justifies killings if you are of tje wrong nationality |

| ▲ | heraldgeezer 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | He is an influencer if you will. Skilled enough but the main use is as a news resource like this. The guy ion the blog would not have found out about this unless Lunduke posted about it. Do you understand? :) |

| For us not in the know, why is this bad? Is he ""bigoted"" ? :( |

| ▲ | eukara 41 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | The maker of the provocative "Linux sucks" series is a bit of a troll.
He's made videos on technical projects he doesn't understand (or care about) and just mocks them if they don't gel with him.
As far as I can tell he doesn't really care, or if he thinks he does - his actions aren't translating well. How do I know? As a FOSS developer myself with a decade plus public history I also happen to know a few people running prominent FOSS projects. He's burned bridges for no good reason. He doesn't care. | |
| ▲ | Mashimo 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I have no idea who he is, never heard of him. You shall not judge a book by its cover but .. he is making it hard. His video titles are: * Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork (Without Systemd) * NeoFetch But in Rust and More Gay * Chimera Linux is "Here to Further Woke Agenda by Turning Free Software Gay" * Are Jews the Cause of DEI in Big Tech? Yeah .. I did not watch a single video of his. But just from a short few seconds It's not anything I want to invest time in to see if he has a point or not. Life is too short. | | |
| ▲ | bigpeopleareold 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Whatever I might agree or disagree with, this is annoying to look at, but his stuff keeps coming up in my YouTube feed. Even it looks slightly interesting, I know it will be some rant involved about a thing not related to technology, but some developer's personal opinions on non-tech ideas. I get it - people are horrible! Sheesh! FWIW, probably not much, he said he had a Jewish background ... in, like, the one video I watched and eventually gave up on. | |
| ▲ | pilif 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | what's especially strange to me is that in the more distant past, he was a pretty normal guy - at least as normal as any other linux user. Heck, he had a super great podcast (Linux Action Show). Something changed in the 2014ish time-frame when it got more and more politically extreme. | |
| ▲ | heavyset_go an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Now I want to make a Woke Linux to drive this guy insane, the CoC alone will make his face melt | |
| ▲ | hsbauauvhabzb 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | > NeoFetch But in Rust and More Gay apt-install --fuck-yes gay-rust-neofetch I’ll look to migrate to chimera shortly, but only if it includes gay neofetch. | |
| ▲ | stevefan1999 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | * Are Jews the Cause of DEI in Big Tech? ...errrrrrrrrrrrrr, plot twist, he is a jew himself, or at least he claimed he is. |
