    Those are the only two ways? What about:

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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    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.

    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."

    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

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    With zero knowledge of who either person is, I'd go for the one who exercises.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    You'd go for the right wing kook then

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

    Ohh she doesn't work there anymore?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

    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?

    Who’s the guy on the right.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

    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 :/

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

    You missed the new yazi guy, with long orange hair.

    Good content!

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    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

    [–] [email protected] 2 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 [email protected] is one classic example and enough public figures like Luke or Brian Lunduke incorporate the other side.

    [–] [email protected] 1 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

    [–] [email protected] 0 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?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

    Only in combination with the 2 above

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (10 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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

    I would subscribe to Emily if she made a separate channel. They were so chill how they talked about Linux and I she could easily teach how to understand it.

    [–] [email protected] 1 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.

    [–] [email protected] 2 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…

    [–] [email protected] 1 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!

    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.
