Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    I don't get this. I know the person on the left is the trans employee from Linus tech tips, and I saw in the comments who the person on the right is but I don't get this meme at all

    [–] exu@feditown.com 108 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    This is a common meme that you either end up as trans or a right winger when you use Linux for a long time.

    Not sure about the history, but !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone is one classic example and enough public figures like Luke or Brian Lunduke incorporate the other side.

    [–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 59 points 1 month ago

    Soo, I've been daily-driving Linux for 6 / 7 yrs, and occasionally using it since 2013... How much time do I have before I have to choose? Although, given my lack of self-organization, I probably should've already chosen but missed the message notifying me of an upcoming / missed deadline

    [–] 30p87@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Example № 1 here.

    I love how you can see his right-winginess by just his website

    podcast

    Am I missing something? Are podcasts a partisan thing now?

    [–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

    Only in combination with the 2 above

    [–] 30p87@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    At least I have seen countless podcasts with the only goal to shit out right wing content. And it's perfect for that. Be a nazi, get some other nazi to join you for an hour and talk pure shit about LGBTQ/Migrants etc. Nobody will stop you, and most people aren't willing to actually debunk a one hour stream of "arguments". If there even is a comment section.

    Didn't know they?/she? was trans. That's awesome for them/her! :D

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 48 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    She came out about two years ago or so. Sadly no new videos with her moderating since then, as far as I know.

    She goes by Emily now.

    [–] foggy@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    Damn that sucks that theyve not been moderating since then...

    She's probs the most knowledgeable seeming talking head on the team.

    [–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 19 points 1 month ago

    She was pretty much the only one who pushed for Linux content afaik. So if she’s left LTT, that really sucks…

    [–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

    Super smart. Def had the most technical knowledge from the videos she was in. Nerd levels, but that's a good thing!

    [–] evidences@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

    I think she's actually left LMG, I either saw a YouTube video from her or am just imagining she uploaded one announcing she had left the company.

    It's ok, we don't do the lmgtfy anynore. In the future there won't be a Google and all the links will be broken. If we didn't change, all the questions would be answered by "just Google it" even though Google will be gone.

    [–] ludicolo@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

    I'm using duckduckgo so that is probably why it didn't appear for me, idk I searched "did emily young leave linus tech tips" and couldn't see the results.

    I appreciate your google fu! Thank you! 👍

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Dang. Must be the reason why I stopped watching. Even just behind the scenes she was invaluable.

    [–] kurumin@linux.community 2 points 1 month ago

    Right? She was the best!

    [–] ellen@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

    There's a Floatplan exclusive from two months ago, and I think another one from a little further back. As for the other comments about her leaving LTT, I've heard those rumours as well but never managed to find any source for them, so not sure.

    [–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 month ago

    Oh shit I didn't realize they were trans

    [–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Those are the only two ways? What about:

    [–] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

    Closely related to that:

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

    Well, as long as I don't have a stroke or something, I won't turn into a right-winger. So trans it is then, I guess

    [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 month ago

    It's the dilemma of any alternative space. People seeking alternatives don't like the mainstream.

    And with a bit of generalization, there's two reasons not to like the mainstream:

    1. The mainstream is too oppressive
    2. The mainstream is not oppressive enough

    Good content!

    [–] Magnolia_@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

    It was always about Kenny (Outlaw) since they have similar voices and views. But Brodie? rofl

    [–] RAM@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I just checked his YouTube channel and a lot of his videos have alt-right rhetoric or dog-whistles in the title or thumbnail.

    he does not strike me as a nice person :/

    Luke Smith was on my watch list when he was talking about DWM. WTF happened to the guy?

    I think his recommended reading list still includes "the international jew by henry ford".

    I'm a fan of old 4chan memory, Linux enthusiast, into linguistics, and off grid living. Why that space has to be just filled with irl bigots that want to deny people's existences I'll never fully grasp.

    Read some random comment saying he got a "trad wife" and basically quit the internet.

    Last post on his website seem to be from Feb 2023.

    [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I don't think he had them all to begin with, but he lost the rest of his marbles. To be honest I think if he was a critical thinker and a bit more open-minded, he would have become an anarchist. But sadly he's a Christian conservative.

    Also as I've learned more about linux, I realize he's wrong about most things there too 😂

    He has said everything he felt he had to say. One of his last posts was "Everyone on the internet is a loser" and I figure he's just gone to practice what he preached.

    [–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

    When people aren't on internet I always think to myself..

    "People actually enjoying their life don't need to go on the internet to tell everyone about it."

    [–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    A well rounded person would listen to a variety of voices and carefully pick and choose those parts most pleasing to his character.

    So, all roads lead to Arch is what you are saying?
