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 ๐
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.
Religion and roads scrambled his brains.
It was pre-scrambled. Then after chasing money, he went outside and touched grass, he has not been seen since
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.
My humble request. Please translate to English.
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.
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."
Those are the only two ways? What about:
Closely related to that:
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
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:
- The mainstream is too oppressive
- The mainstream is not oppressive enough
Neither honestly
With zero knowledge of who either person is, I'd go for the one who exercises.
You'd go for the right wing kook then
Oof. Who's the other one?
A cool trans Linux enthusiast who used to work at Linus Media Group. She hadn't transitioned or even realized she was trans for most of her time there.
She's really down to Earth, is obviously at least a bit open minded to have transitioned, and presents really well.
Ohh she doesn't work there anymore?
Cool, she sounds like a fun person to hang around.
Although, I don't think being trans guarantees being open-minded. I know plenty of people who are incredibly racist, but have no problem with gay/trans issues.
A well rounded person would listen to a variety of voices and carefully pick and choose those parts most pleasing to his character.
Turning back is always an option.
So, all roads lead to Arch is what you are saying?
