From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In case you're wondering why this post is being downvoted. Your title says nothing about what the video is about. You don't add any context or information of your own. This makes it look like some cheap clickbait to boost a YouTube channel.

That makes sense, She just randomly got recommended in my feed and her way of explaining things was enthusiastic so thought of sharing it here with the community, not affiliated with the channel or her in any way.

You are able to edit titles on Lemmy, if you'd like.

So sad to have this downvoted, the video is great

She shared far right stuff during the pandemic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Which changes nothing. This is not a political video

I'm personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Why not? "We should exterminate all non-whites" seems like a pretty good reason to dismiss a person.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I'd argue that it's all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won't dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

Is that what she said?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

The conversation moved on from that old fart to a broader point of not dismissing a person on behalf of their political views.

I gave an example of a view which is ground for such dismissal so your question is wrong because it isn't about that specific women anymore.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Very chill. But this screams "dont theme my Apps/OS/Icons" so much.

Vanilla GNOME 43 on Debian 12 looks gorgeous, this looks like from 2005
