I'm so glad to see homophobic catholic extremist Jeff Geerling made the cut. I resent that I followed him for years without knowing how much hate he holds in his heart for me.
Also glad Louis Rossmann is getting his due callout here. ~~He definitely does a lot of good but~~ he does and says some truly inexcusable shit.
hey motherfuckers, if you’re going to come at devault in this thread for doing the work, have something better than this weak fash shit, thanks
It sucks when you see someone that you thought was doing good work turn out to be a weirdo
I only knew Lunduke from his Linux sucks series and was surprised to see him on this list. so I did a quick search and found lunduke keeps his own 'software politics tracker' which of course does not track all politics, but just "woke", "leftist" and "dei".
Apparently Gnome just celebrating trans day of inclusion is a bad thing. Ugh. Wish I'd never given that guy my time and attention.
according to him, the Linux foundation also 'pledged fealty to the UN'. wtf even is that supposed to mean? is this common conspiracy shit or is he completely off his rocker?
surprised to see him on this list
:-o
Oh hell yes. He emailed me angrily when I wrote a piece saying the new GNOME Exec Dir was a shaman. He was angry I didn't make more fun of it. I said it's no weirder than the dead-Jew-on-a-stick religion, and he flamed me and started calling me names in the blog.
He's always been a loudmouth but I think he's worked out that being an alt.right loudmouth wins him fans/viewers/subscribers and thus $... so he has gone all in.
Rossmann's shitty YouTube comment (linked to from this list) seems to expose his insecurities about gender and obesity and how he externalizes those insecurities to judge others.
I've never used any suckless software, but it kind of sucks seeing them on here. I liked the Idea of their software philosophy, even if it wasn't for me.
(Edit: I forgot a word in that sentence lol)
The weirdness is much less visible in Primeagen's content nowadays (albeit I've almost completely stopped watching it so maybe it's now getting more overt?), I'm not overly surprised devault has nothing concrete to point at - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he has scrubbed the more egregious things from his youtube channel.
It's never been big attention-grabbing things but more a certain level of crypto-fashy offhanded remarks and general vibes - been brought up in the weekly snarks a few months back.
The biggest recent criticism I could make is having DHH on fire over an hour with allegedly no pushback on how terrible his "distro" is given how much primagen supposedly prides himself on his technical prowess. Then again, he's not using omarchy himself so what does he care if the rubes in his audience get duped into trashing their machines?
I watched half of the DHH interview in awe of the non stop glazing. Blocked his channel after that embarrassing display.
the non stop glazing
I don't understand what this word means here.
Glazed eyes?
I think it's a reference to the smooth reflective appearance an object or person has after being liberally tongue-bathed
either that or covered in ejaculate
:-o
Ew.
It's an internet slang that means to excessively fawn over someone.
Friiiick, the ladybird dev? I've been keeping the project in the back of my mind until it's ready for daily use. I was so pumped for an open browser
maybe look at servo then? that one's also not getting vibecoded
oh yeah he's an enthusiastic techfash
Friiiick, the ladybird dev?
I'd heard some rumours but this spelled it out and it's not nice. I was formerly engaged to a Norwegian, and learned quite a lot about Scandinavian culture and beliefs. Some of it is nasty and the Mullvad dude, DHH, and "Awesome Kling" as well, are saying the quiet part out loud.
Damn, I didn't know ThePrimeagen was also a weard little freak. I didn't watch his videos often tho.
there's a few names i'd probably add; one is peter simon, known as probono, the appimage maintainer, a professional wayland hater (he's maintaining a ginormous gist that lists the failures of wayland, most of which is not true, not true anymore or at least grossly exaggerated).
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
