To claim that you can separate your ideals from what you do, is not really true.

[@hanro50]

When I was younger, I would have agreed with that rude argument. Since then, however, I've worked on an open source project of my own, and I've actually built up some experience in the world of software development. Being rude, I've found, is counterproductive. You either discourage people, or you just succeed in angering them. Someone who is angry will likely not learn from the mistakes they have made and is unlikely to do what had been asked from them. Resulting in more lost productivity down the line. The only time when being rude is effective is when being nice is ineffective. Even then, it is often better to just stick to insulting the work done and not the person who had done the work. "This code sucks" is better than "my grandmother could write better code."

[@gabriel38g]

When I first switched to Linux, Lunduke used to give his political opinion all the time, then he got backlash in the comments because he suggest Mozilla was funding Antifa, and suddenly decided to claim 'no politics' on his supposed 'tech' channel. Stallman is a strange guy, but he is a staunch defender of Free Software which is why many people wanted him back in the Linux foundation. In fact, Lunduke turned around and wanted Stallman out at one point, I guess he found out that Stallman wasn't conservative.

[@HontasFarmer80]

If his channels or sites have comments I'd wager the "no politics" rule is only enforced against anyone who disagrees with him and makes a good point.

Man, I must have been watching him before he went all radical. I don't remember him ever giving his political opinion back in the day. At some point he just kinda vanished from my radar. I completely forgot he existed until this video.

@@henrickbull He used talk about breaking up Google, about DRM video, digital privacy. All kinds of stuff that would have been politics related to tech.

[@temari2860]

I don't think anyone can ever be completely apolitical in any type of content. Absolutely anything can be considered political to some because politics affects anything and everything, it's just a matter of how different your political views are before any of your actions/opinions start to become political. Some people say they are avoiding politics just to push their political opinions and having others believe they're an innocent apolitical person getting attacked by angry political activists.

[@mistermoo7602]

Truth imo. Saying you "don't do politics" is the same as saying you don't believe in gravity.

[@gensoustudio4703]

If you sincerely believe that you should be able to define politics objectively and then tell me how a 10 second video featuring a guinea pig eating a strawberry is in any way political. Also how do politics affect rocks on Pluto in any way?

​@@gensoustudio4703I don't think you can objectively define anything but people can for political reasons take issues with the content of those videos. Ethical vegans probably don't like such animal videos lol.

[@gensoustudio4703]

@@AndersHass I didn't know "ethical vegans" cared about the consumption of strawberries, since they're all about animal products. lol. But still doesn't address the rocks on Pluto. Still what you just said illustrates the contradiction. One can not simultaneously claim "Absolutely anything can be considered political to some because politics affects anything and everything" without being able to objectively define it in a way where it does exactly that. You're not just saying there is some hypothetical insane person that considers any random thing political, you're saying their insane belief would have truth since politics affect "anything and everything". Which would mean "politics" is an observer independent phenomena or some sort of truth about reality itself. It also falls apart if you lack an objective definition because the insane person's consideration of what is political can be dismissed by anyone.

[@liquidebleu]

@@gensoustudio4703 Everything is politics, even a "10 second video featuring a guinea pig eating a strawberry". Maybe the result isn't meant to be political, but the process is. What is the video's objective? What tools are used? On what platform the is video hosted? Etc…

[@docopoper]

I am of two minds as a trans person in this community. On the one hand, I really appreciate how Linux is this space where we all work together in the name of freedom. And I really genuinely think that liberty is more important than my own political views. I'm happy that Linux acts as a meeting place where the sides the world is currently so heavily polarised into can come together and work on something and see that we all at least do support freedom. On the other hand transphobia ain't fun to experience and it can be jarring to realise that you're in a space where a lot of people are hostile towards you for who you are. I understand the logic behind people who support liberty so strongly also wanting the liberty to say what they want. I also understand how it could feel like Linux is losing some aspect of its focus on liberty by people getting kicked out for things like being transphobic. But then equally, me wanting to live as the person I am is also a matter of liberty. And as much as the people saying they just want to speak their disdain for me can say that, I also can't help but notice that they don't really like being harassed by people on the internet either. I appreciate this video Nicco. It is genuinely nice to see an explicitly trans positive space. I hope you take care of your mental health and that you look after yourself if this kicks off into a bigger thing. Genuinely if you're burnt out and if you end up finding that making videos like this gets you hate and that makes things harder, remember that you're already doing so much good for the world as is. Much more than most people do. You're obviously a very altruistic person and the world is lucky to have you.

[@vendetta.02]

It's as they say: "Your right to swing your fist around ends at the tip of my nose." Aka, your rights ends when they start affecting others.

The problem is that currently it does not resemble equality, but rather the promotion of all minorities at the expense of those who cannot count on special treatment. Additional points in studies only for your orientation, skin color or gender. Special, free courses only for women, etc. According to regulations in Poland, a woman working in the cold must be given a warm meal if she consumes a certain amount of calories while working. But a man will get such a meal if he uses twice as much energy. Did you know that in Poland women retire 5 years earlier than men? And men live 10 years shorter. We have a public pension system like most European countries, if you are from the US the concept may be a bit abstract but it is discrimination. I'm disabled and I probably won't live to see retirement, so fuck this "equality".

[@frechjo]

I stopped watching him even without knowing how deep the rabbit hole went. Even his "no politics" content was unbearable for political reasons. It was also obvious that no amount of interpretation and ideological disentanglement effort from the audience (short of going out and investigate on our own) could suffice to salvage some of the "objective" information he presented. It just showed too many times to be falsified to serve a point; and even when not, the interest of the topics selected was not always something universal, let's say. DistroTube's not bad. He does introduce certain remarks and editorializes in a way that just puts me off, so I don't watch him too often. But to be fair to him, he does seem to treat the information he presents seriously enough, and I respect that. I don't know what Brodie's stance is politically. I just like his videos so far, and nothing ever bothered me too much, lol (I do get some right wing libertarian "vibes" from him, but let's just say, "saner" than Lunduke's, and tolerable).

Preface- thank you for reading this if you do. I’m new to using linux but I’ve been curious about it for a while now and am really enjoying the journey. I think it’s sad for people to be so exclusionary in the community as it prevents progress and empowers the corporations that suppress. The people who are the loudest do not represent most and it gives the community a bad rep imo. I think that freedom and equality are cores of the concept of FOSS/Linux. We should embrace that. Doubling down on insane takes for someone who is in the public eye is always a bad move. Excluding people who want things to work and a stable is experience is so weird. Imposing your beliefs on others and stripping away their agency while also whining about your freedom is inherently amoral and contradictory. Individualist societies naturally cause division and suppress everyone. They prevent the true nature of humanity and the rise of the proletariat. The root cause of all evil is money and power. We continue to repeat history and we will until we are not so self obsessed.

Great video. I've watched some of your videos before and the content is always good, but this got me to subscribe. To make a small constructive criticism, though, I would have liked to see a bit less emphasis on just talking about a long list of things Lunduke has done, and more on why his toxic political views are dangerous and harmful. I know that's going to be very obvious to those who are somewhat more politically aware than average, but for many others, that sort of context is needed for them to understand why this is something they should even care about at all. I know you didn't try to hide the hbomberguy influence in this video, given that you even mentioned some of his videos. Well, one of the (many) things that makes hbomberguy's videos genuinely exceptional and not just good or great, is that he *always* gives the sort of context I'm talking about here. Still, great job considering it seems to be the first time you've done this kind of content and covered to this extent.

So is the he correct?

[@gmt-yt]

Every time I decide to give that guy another chance I wind up disgusted, writing 10000 words in a comment and then realizing I don't want to deal with the results of posting it. Thanks for daring to actually cover this stuff and so sorry for everything stupid that probably happened as a result, you are doing the Lord's work here.

Nice investigation, thanks for giving some clarity. Content creators have a huge responsability, missinformation hurts too much and I don't want that for our Linux community or any other. 🤗I hope this is a correct use of this emoji :)

Given Gnomes bad of the name Lunduke on their forum, this should probably be reanalyzed.

[@hemerythrin]

Damn thank you for making this video. The baseless fearmongering in the Linux Sucks 2021 talk made me unsubscribe from Lunduke, I didn't know it went this deep

Awesome video! If you're still taking nonprofit suggestions, I'd look at donating to the Trevor Project.

Excellent video. Very well put together.

"Company culture" is a thing. If you work in a tech company where everybody's a guy, bringing in a woman, no matter how great she is at her job, will cause a shock to many there. There are many guys working on tech who are just not comfortable with women around. Seen it first hand. So even if she's great, just her presence (at first) can affect total productivity of the team negatively. That's why hiring diversity is a thing. It's not about hiring under-qualified individuals, but a push to hire enough of them so that the discomfort barrier can be surmounted as quickly as possible.

[@somekindofstranger9612]

your only argument is 'He's not woke, so he's bad', that's all. Why the hell I even started to watch it?

[@alexdhall]

Thank you for making this video. It definitely covers everything that is awful about Lunduke.....😬

[@Mempler]

Linux sucks, but i still use it as there is no better alternative. except servers, they're great 👍

[@JessicaFEREM]

odysee not moderating their platform is not true, what actually happens is that a member of odysee staff will leave a comment on your page asking you to take it down. I had this happen to a friend of mine. my friend uploaded thousands of videos for archival purposes and he didn't know which ones would be bad for the platform, so he asked to take his channel off of the odysee platform. also note that event though you can't see his posts through odysee, the odysee seeder still seeds the videos through the lbry network. they do remove some content immediately though. not sure what qualifies for immediate deletion, but I assume it's DMCA related.

[@JessicaFEREM]

not only is their moderation not adequate, but it's corrupt, as the dude who asked my friend to delete the videos was using his connections with the odysee staff to get them to take down the videos because he was using their site.

[@Trafotin]

The idea that the LBRY team had was really great and truly something special. The problem is it was most sabotaged by the Odysee team. There's still no way to do administrative things with your account except contacting them via email or Discord, the moderation tools are terrible (probably on purpose), and they got involved in the big SEC lawsuit they could never win. Because blockchain, deleting your account for creators like me and Niccolo is impossible and even if you do, posers will take your handle and could possibly misrepresent you.

[@Lukainka]

Thank you for spending time and energy into this video. This is great community service!

I hope you recovered from that video since then :V

I didn't actually knew about this character (let's call him that way), but I love hearing someone actually talking publicly about politics and tech together. In my experience, people who say "I'm apolitical" generally fall on one of two categories: people who are complacent with the system and people who want to sell you their obviously political ideas as neutral, as an objective truth that you can scientifically verify. That second type of person, whether they are aware of it or not, are dishonest and dangerous. That aside, great video, it was very interesting to watch

[@AndrewMilesMurphy]

I think independent coders will always keep linux alive. As it is, to my understanding linux SUSE is used for supercomputers overwhelmingly. Politics aside, I think we will always hold on to the linux spirit.

I think this obsession over people's political agenda has caused people to fight against each other more then ever necessary.

As Arnold says - do not listen to the nay sayers. In all honesty the kernel isn't going anywhere except forward. That's all that matters.

[@rotzefairy]

thank you so much for this video. youtube started showing up some lunduke videos some time ago and since i didnt know any context about him, i watched them and took the information as is. i also dont really know much about linux as well, so i just took the content as valuable and interesting, since i myself am pretty new to this whole space. i started to notice that he is a weird character with lots of weird beliefs i dont share which made it easier for me to take his content with a grain of salt, but still it was hard for me to figure out, what stuff he makes up and what is actually true. he made a video about firefox and how bad it's gonna be with the new updates, and i am still not sure, what to believe since i have not seen anybody else really talk about this that seems more trustworthy and since the topic often overcharges me (i dont know if you say it like this, its just a lot for me) and it seems to be hard to stay informed with all the things happening at once. i think it is dangerous that people who are interested in linux and tech stuff, but are new to the space are confronted with creators such as lunduke, luke smith etc without any context on their weird conspiratory beliefs and its important to make this a space where conspiracies, homo- or transphobia and just in general right wing narratives are kept out of.

After seem the Non-binary joke, I had to make a counter joke: We do we struggle so much with implementing fuzzy logic? Because Binary people can only think in 0s and 1s.
