  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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 year 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 year 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

    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 year ago

    Only in combination with the 2 above

    [–] 30p87@feddit.org 6 points 1 year 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 year ago (4 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 year 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 year 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 year 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 year 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 year 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! πŸ‘

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

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

    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.

    [–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

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

    Oh shit I didn't realize they were trans

    [–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Those are the only two ways? What about:

    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:

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

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

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

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

    [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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

    [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (3 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.

    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 year 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 πŸ˜‚

    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 year 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."

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