I remember Stallman showed up at DTU back in like 2014 or so, and I was there. While he was advocating for his position he was also pulling the skin from between his toes and eating it. This is why the FSF isn’t popular. 😂
Oh God, why did you remind me of it?
He's definitely a weirdo. Both in the ways that the world needs. And in the "oh god why, please don't" kind of way.
Oh come on, he was recycling! 😛😂😂
I can see he has been at the Technical University of Denmark multiple times.
I am no psychiatrist but it does sound like he has autism (like me, I do not eat the skin between my toes though, lol).
what...What...WHAT seriously WHAT r u saying that someone actually pulls of dead skin n eats it? nah must be a joke....someone post a link n prove me wrong
Ought to give shoutouts to Tommy Tallarico for inventing Linux
god, that self-hype section gave me so many tallarico vibes
I dont get the point keep politics away from linux when linux in of itself is a literal politic statement of freedom.
FOSS is indeed a fully libertarian concept.
@@SnakePlissken25 I would argue its more left leaning since FOSS software is made by the people for the people.
@@AviatorXD Check the proportions of code contributions from individuals to those of companies.
That's tangental though; It is libertarian simply because it doesn't aim to restrict anyone.
@@AviatorXD If it were left leaning it would restrict access based on class and status. Libertarian fits better.
@uhruojlmao... Marx rolling his grave "Stateless, classless Society"
Libertarian is pro companies. If a company like idk... Microsoft had idk, outsized impact on the market, and could say, lobby/bribe the education system (private, public, doesn't matter) to use microsoft's operating system. Then that environment wouldn't exactly allow Linux to exist (I mean it can. But that's really against the odds now is it.)
i figured the wallpaper in the back was an HBomberGuy reference but then you actually showed the video!
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.

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.
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.
@@HontasFarmer80this. But that is the standard on those right wing platforms.
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. But then he decided 'no politics' after he suggested some open-source projects were funding radical groups. (I still haven't seen any proof of that was true.) then he left UA-cam to go to Odysee and came back after a few years or so.
Lunduke is hardly conservative.
It's just the left has gone so far out into the loony left field that anyone to the right of Mao Tse Tung is considered a fascist.
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.
Truth imo. Saying you "don't do politics" is the same as saying you don't believe in gravity.
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.
@@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.
@@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…
Thank you for this video Nicco, excellent quality as usual! I almost wish you also published a longer more complete version of this video that includes all your swears (obviously in Italian)
Such a shame. I think it was really smart for Linux users to own the meme "Linux sucks" and use it as an opportunity to constructively criticize our own shortcomings. Because that's what it takes to be progressive. Ironic how important it is to him to conserve the status quo.
This will definitely stir the hornet's nest, but this is well made. I appreciate you for making this video.
why? It's just a very dishonest, biased attempt to cancel Lunduke. Dude wants to make his ideology the only accepted standard. He's a fanatical cultist which gets triggered if people don't use his vocabulary like "deadname" or "transgender"; he thinks he has the right to impose these on everyone.
@ 💀💀💀
@, Cry about it bigot!!! And cry about it some more!
@ yeah sure, not like the people who get triggerd by people using the words deadname, transgender, or just people going by a different name they chose themself.
@@Alex_Vir it's not really a trigger, at least not like the original concept from psychiatry. There is no trauma involved. Just a deep intellectual disagreement, along with the perception that no one can use these words honestly. Transgender specifically is self-contradictory in the own terms of the ideology that created it, so much that it's usual to see someone saying something like "a trans[gender] woman is a woman"
Thank you Tommy Tallarico for exposing Bryan Lunduke on all this 😢
His mom is very proud
@@ebassi Nicco actually holds the guinnes wold record for the most KDE videos produced in his lifetime

I love how this watches a lot like a "Hsexyguy" video (didn't think we'd notice that?). Especially the outro. I half expected you to bust through the wall at one point.
Keep doing your thing, Nicco. In my opinion, you're one of the most watchable Linux content channels.
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."
and since I know you're probably going to read all the comments, can you please link to your stuff on the "About" section of your channel, that's always where I go look for stuff
I'll add it on my to-do list!
lmao the covid notice is wild
a bit of a spoiler
Unpopular opinion (unfortunately): children should not be forced a gender role. The 3yo child in the example simply wanted to be himself but like you said, he was still forced to follow the female gender role to some degree which is nonsense.
Lunduke is a quack, and I say that with all the respect he's due. He's gone from someone reputable in the Linux sphere to someone who's eccentric views can't be trusted.
Based and correct.
Obviously, Lunduke doesn't know how to use linux anymore.

As sad as it it to say. For Richard Stallman's case:
There is no great genius without some touch of madness said Aristotle.
He's still the one who initiated the whole ass thing.
yeah, the line between insanity and genius is a narrow (and blurry) one
Thank you so much for making this video, it was really good and I can finally send people a reference as to some of these people in our communities :D
Also I love the catears. meow
Thank you for spending time and energy into this video. This is great community service!
Just a note for the editor, you should really consider making those text corrections like "he still has it" appear on the screen for a little longer. You don't want to try to be funny by showing something that only some will see, you want all people to see that correction otherwise it's pointless.
The idea was to make you stop the video if you want to read them. It's somewhat common
@@niccoloveslinux I love the video, but this was really annoying if I'm honest, maybe like a second instead of a couple frames would be better

Great Video! Thank you so much.
Congrats. Very good job. I had only previously watched Lunduke's video on the new gnome exec director (which I found cringe worthy) so being aware about what type of person he is, is really important to me. Well done. 1:10:31
people have no idea what "insurrection" means
Tearing the wallpaper gave me Hbomberguy vibes :D
Awesome video!
Edit: you actually mention him :D

I will actually mention the reason in the video
@@zorkman777 this was before the live stream happened
33:20 this lie of his *REALLY* pisses me off, as a trans person.
Gender dysphoria can affect people that young, some of my earliest memories were gender dysphoria. If a kid that young is transitioning, they are strictly SOCIALLY transitioning, which is changing their clothes/hair/name. Anything medical would come like, 7-10 years later, and would be limited to blockers that temporarily pause puberty. But he knows a conservative audience that has no experience with trans people would think of a kid transitioning and jump to "Oh! They're getting The Surgery! How Horrible!"
(also thank you!!! for being speaking against transphobia. There's a lot of it in online spaces and it is just refreshing to see someone that isn't trans condemn it :)
>temporarily pause puberty
yeah no permanent effects whatsoever. groomer²
@@user-ro1cc8tz6d I know that puberty blockers do have some side effects, especially those related to bone growth, but calling a person a groomer just because they pointed out the flawed logic of other people?
@@user-ro1cc8tz6d TEMPORARILY block puberty to achieve greater happiness and be themselves. Also pubescent children have agency, they understand these things if they are involved, they are not _vessels_ for adults to shape how they like. Leave them their authonomy.

also, also, I had no idea that you were PD affiliated and I want to let you know that that I voted PD in 2022, but only because it was the least bad option on the table (and strategic voting ofc)
ahaha apparently everyone voted PD as the least bad option
@@niccoloveslinux Pretty much same situation for me, sometimes to rotate a bit I also voted for +Europa but it's always between those two parties that I decide. I actually find it extremely odd that someone like Luke from the opposite end of the political spectrum compared to us cares about Linux and the FSF ideology, my best guess is that he did not understand it fully.
@@plarpoon I'm not surprised. People who are against any kind of external limitation are correlated both with free software, as in freedom from companies and privacy from governments, and far right wing politics, being against the government intervening in any form

Excellent video. Very well put together.
Thanks!
Bravo, liked the music, the research and chapters!
Can we get a video on how to report bugs, request features, suggestions, contribute (properly). everything is everywhere and its confusing compared to gnome.
"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.
Don't know if it was intended... but the thumbnail looks like that meme of the two ladies pointing at a cat and you're the cat lol
Thank you, this was needed!
agreed. snaps are wet farts.
anyway, love your video and summary of the 'slow but sure decline of lunduke' : ( : )
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.
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.
There's a reason why hate speech is called such a thing, nobody has the "human right" to oppress and bully others into submission. Its a cowardly tactic.
Bigots have no place in the linux community.
Freedom of speech should be a responsibility, not an excuse. I appreciate that you are more aware of its seriousness than people like Lunduke.
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".
I'm sorry you've experienced transphobia in the community. I hope you know that the vast majority of folks I've interacted with are allies. You're welcome here, and we will back you up.
@@CassidyJames Thank you very much.
people get so defensive of free/open source leadership, but those projects don't need specific people at the helm to continue to exist (isn't that the whole point?)
i love computers and open source but it pains me to see people in the community with zero political literacy and in many cases straight-up reactionaries

42:47 Okay, because I'm not a programmmer I had to look up what a boolean is and I think that joke is great.
It's a tired old joke. I see it everywhere around the trans meme community.
Goddamn, I'm so happy I subbed to the channel when I did. (LTT linus vs like use linus). And since I love KDE project (or Kproject), it was a boon as well, but these are some really great coverage/documentaries/journalism I love. Great work.

Great video. Summarizing the issue with a certain person.
With all that is going on. Motivates me to maybe bring out more Linux specific videos again on my channel. Dried out a bit since people are crazy about smartphone cameras and not so much about package managers, desktops or the linux command line 😂
No, he did not offer a summary. Instead, he offered a very long video trying to cancel Lunduke, with many lies intertwined with half-truths and ideological absolutism where his own ideology is the only acceptable moral standard (that we can see with cultist vocabulary like "deadname").
@ Hmm... then maybe they both should talk directly with each other. You think that would help?
@@lltechview ah, it's very easy to say that after an hour long video full of slanders and accusations against Lunduke. As far as I remember from the video, Nicco made no attempt to settle things up with Lunduke before doing this video. He just made this biased dossier against him and published it to get him cancelled.
This is a video that ive been waiting for someone to make. Tech people very often pretend they are above politics and aocial issues while pushing their own views and I haven't seen a video calling them out. I appreciate this video for what it does to start a conversation that really needs to happen about UA-camrs in thr tech space.
I'm very impressed by how well made this video is. Full of facts and well articulated opinions. However I highly disagree with the main goal of "not giving him [Lunduke] further space and visibility". If you want someone to be less hateful and whatever-phobic, the main prerequisite is that this person must feel they're part of community that criticize them. Once you cancel someone who is "unacceptable" they're going to perceive that merely as a brainless attack of radicals. You don't make community better that way, you create unnecessary divisions
This was BEAUTIFULLY done! Bravo.
Yeah... there's a reason he's only ever been on the fringe. As linux has become more widely used his views have become more exclusionary
3:05 Hey, Nicco. The "Nigh" from "End is Nigh" is pronounced as "N-eye", not "Night". Just wanted to clarify that. I know you're not a native english speaker. 🙂
CLEAN THAT CONFETTI OUT OF YOUR HAIR!!!!
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.
He makes a very good point though - very little of the money received by the foundation pays for development of GNOME and KDE. It'd be nice if these projects received more funding. Imagine what they'd be able to do with just 10% of LF's revenue.
Ye well developers of open source projects also need some money for their own lives and not use it all for the project.

Hard recommend against. They're very anti-union.
I came back to this video to thank you for drawing my attention to the existence of this crazy Lunduke guy. I already knew about him earlier from the interview he made with DT and Brodie, however at the time I wasn't really compelled to check out his other content. But due to your video, I became interested and gave it another shot, and I ended up buying a lifetime subscription to The Lunduke Journal shortly before it was discontinued, and I've already gotten plenty of entertainment out of listening to his past podcasts. Thanks!
this is an absolutely excellent video, and you've earned a metric fuckton of respect. amazing work
My body is ready
Thanks for finally making up my mind to block Lunduke's email notifications. For a while I've been thinking "i'll just ignore his political stuff - the tech stuff is still interesting" but I'd never thought to fact-check any of this stuff that "no-one else is talking about". The hype of it being "exclusive", his self-proclaimed expertise, and the constant sales was really weird and verging on cult-like, and I'm glad I never gave him any money. Badbye, Won't miss you.🖕
Just as I went to block Lunduke in my emails, I rather ominously happened to see a notification that "All tech-related content, even politically-charged stuff" will be published in the Lunduke Journal. But then later down the email he claims that "The Lunduke Journal will remain politics-free... except for when politics and tech intersect".
He's still, somehow, insisting that it's neutral while admitting it isn't. This is just... I don't even know what to say...
56:26 just a heads up, that video is satire. He is terrible at satire, but he isnt serious about that one.
So glad to have your voice in this space Nicco!

If the masses don't even care how smartphones app sucks compared to PC, how could we fill the gap between the savvy and the regular users? But mostly, is it so necessary? The IT field needs customers. Customers does damages or get damaged in several ways. We need this circle in order to don't run out of business.
this is an amazing video i like that there is an openly progressive content that is foss related
33:20 the story wasn't even about a 3 year old child, it was a story that *started* when the child was three, and clearly discusses the child getting older. If I write the story of my life and start it at age 5, that doesn't mean I am 5 years old.
Huh. I think I watched some of the pre-covid "Linux Sucks" videos, finding them if not agreeable, then the interesting kind of opinionated. Fascinating to know that if I poked juuuust a bit further, I would've found the guy hates people like me.

This is sooooo good dude. Nice work. Excellent research. I knew I liked you.
Nice job on your first long form piece of content! You've come such a long way over the years.
I never did a deep dive on him but it was pretty apparent after watching a fair amount of his content many years ago this was the type of politics he believed in and I stopped giving him views, it's a shame he and many other more prominent linux creators are part of the unhinged part of the spectrum.
Happy to have your voice rising up, and I hope others like Brodie don't continue to platform people who espouse such nonsense, especially in the current environment where it can be literally dangerous to members of the community.
It's important to stamp out pipelines to hateful and conspiracy filled content, there is such thing as the paradox of tolerance.
"...dont continue to platform people who espouse such nonsense..." another one from the cancelling crowd? Disagreements must be resolved by eliminating people from the equation and not debate? Diversity matters, except when it's diversity of opinions?

@"I'm the victim" is what you're shouting from the rooftops here. While at the same time following an ideology actively taking rights away from people, banning books and tying themselves closely to an utterly bigoted and dysfunctional religion. You are no victim. Just following politics only benefitting the top 5-10% and leaving the rest of the people out to die. An ideology based fundamentally on in-group and out-group thinking. An ideology only alive through damning everybody different to themselves.
You don't have a right for hate to be platformed, full stop. Especially not in the non-murican regions of the world. People like you would get an aneurysm if you ever happened to move to germany/france/the nordics, heh.
Especially in regards to hate speech, it's always about weighing the rights of both sides. Who's more important, the one being harrassed or the harasser's free speech? Most of the highly developed countries consider the harrassed's right to not be harrassed more important. Only the US swings the other way here and is for good reason considered a clown show by the rest of the world in regards to its completely and utterly insane politics.
You can't endorse the holocaust here in germany, nor can you call for extermination of any people. Nor can you institutionally or socially harrass anybody for sexuality or ethnicity. And we're still alive. Society hasn't collapsed. Discourse in the country has been balanced for a long time, despite (or i'd say "because of") those laws.
The world isn't black and white, my dude. Other people and ways of life matter just as much as yours.
It was long and long video but I watched till the end.
Thank you
I first watched Lunduke many years ago (like more than 10 years ago), didn't pick up on the politics too much at the time. And its always possible that I just never caught one of the videos with the political themes at the time. I haven't watched his videos like at all in like 7 or 8 years at this point, but his videos have popped up more and more for me on the recommended page. His far right views have been on very blatant display in every single one of them.
Wow. Incredibly well done. I was hesitant to watch something drawing more attention to Lunduke and generally my policy is to deplatform and just not talk about transphobic, conspiracy theorist folks but it is important for people to understand why so many in the community have done so. It's not some coordinated liberal conspiracy or whatever, we just, you know, don't think it's healthy to give attention and mind space to someone spreading hate and conspiracies about ourselves or our friends. Thank you for making and sharing this as the definitive “Why no Lunduke” source.
Amazing video thank you for making it ❤

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.
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.
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.
did u really have to black paint odysee...
- hate against group is against community guidelines
the punishment just isnt the nuke like on youtube
- those aren't the most popular channels ...
You should take your hourly rate for the work on the video before the donation. It's hazard pay.
I don't understand the attack to Rob Braxman. He talks about how to avoid tracking, mainly for jornalists in exposed countries with dictatorships or other abusive government regimes. He is a pretty chill guy as well and yeah, there's the trying to sell his phone thing which is a good reason to be suspicious, but besides that, I don't have knowledge of anything bad happening there. Could you elaborate please?
To put it lightly, Braxman also slips up in many videos about politics that don't make sense to integrate with his channel. Not to mention that the info he gives shows he is either misinformed, trying to scam people, or some combination of the 2.
@@Trafotin hmm, that I didn't know. If that's true, then that's a shame.
@@Trafotin & somehow you can verify that Rob's videos are misinformative?
I'm halfway through this. Thank you for making this video ❤
This video fails to account that some things are indeed silly being smart compensates for being hateful, if not straight up causes that
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.

Great video, very thorough, I took a look at Lunduke's blog after his podcast with DT and Brodie and I just took his self-published “leaks” and his analysis of the Linux Foundation’s spending at face value, so it’s helpful to know he has a history of pushing misinformation.
lol Brodie. There's another libertarian weirdo
@@jonessii *socialist creep
@@jonessiiTbf, having right wing viewpoints on its own isn't something to cast someone out for. Nothing I have seen from Brodie has stretched into the outright harassment and conspiracy that Lunduke frequently engages in, same goes for DistroTube and Chris Titus. People are free to have their opinions.
@@OSCrustacean Exactly this. You can't accuse other people Lunduke has involved himself with of being bad people. They don't choose to do political channels - Chris just screws around with technology and Brodie just likes to talk about linux / open source.
@@warthunder1969 It's funny to see that many loudest problematic Linux UA-camrs like Lunduke or Switch to Linux are also trying to pull any other Linux people from Brodie, TechHut, Liam (Gaming on Linux), Trafotin,... and when they get backfired (being criticised back of their problematic views) or they cannot contact them they tried to boycott the people they wanted to pull in
To add to all of that, his slideshows look pretty ugly
I really wasn't expecting to watch this entire video in one sitting, especially not right now (I've got a giant project due in a couple of hours), but I did. It was just really well made. And it's nice to see someone level-headed in this space, as well. I mean, I'm biased, as I share the same views you do, so I guess it's just nice to participate in our inclusive little echo-chamber, heh.
There was a time when I watched his work and kinda agreed with him (tech-wise). I very nearly funded his studio project. I even bought one of his existing System76 systems when he was upgrading back in 2018. (I only *just* moved it to server duty.) But as you mentioned, his politics and tech blend way more often than he claims, and when I reached out to ask him a question back in 2020 regarding Framework, he responded with a sentence in response to my actual question, then a paragraph about why he didn't think I should be involved in tech anymore. As far as I could tell from that email, his rational was that "trans people are invading Linux and ruining it", but at that point I was already on the fence about following him anymore (he'd just started his commentary on the pandemic), and so I decided he didn't need to be a part of my online experience.
It's a real shame, because from a pure tech point-of-view, early Lunduke was fun and interesting. A sad "never meet your heros" moment for sure.
EDIT: Wanna add that 2020 was when I first changed my name, including in my email client. I still hadn't updated my email address, and had previous communications with him prior as part of buying the computer, so he was at least passingly familiar with who I was. Just in-case there's some confusion on how he found out. It's not something I would have told him otherwise at the time, cause I was pretty sure he wasn't gonna be kind about it.
At the end of the day - Money Talks and BS walks - If you don't agree with a content creator or someone you interact with then choose not to support them, or better yet leave the politics at the door. That's how I'm treating these sort of situations.
I'm not too familiar in linux. but getting older I have felt the divide. It's hard enough for individuals to understand people they don't know it takes time, and in the work force it's not about making friends as doing a good job. My experience with trans in the work place is more of tip toeing and working around them. I've dated trans, been offered engagement, but at work it's different, Had them break down. There can be a lot of emotional baggage. So to that degree I can understand the nervousness of the fear of the unknown. Not every job comes with stress, I can understand why he may fear with deadlines, but ultimately trans are here to stay. I have no knowledge of the guy himself to say. But rather than look down on your hero. You could question what it was that brought him to that level of dissidence. It may not retort to you, but maybe there is a line he's fixated on. That he's had to deal with. But he allowed his emotions to get the best of him. don't let it stop you from your goals in life.
You were already one of my favorite content creators, now you've gained my admiration and respect on a personal level. Your integrity and your human values are something you should never take for granted, thank you Nicco. *you're* (see what I did there?) a great person :)
Ciau Niccolò! This is my first time ever having the knowledge of the political view in the linux community (I always know people prolly have views behind but rather not see or be seen), and I am most grateful having you for being so inclusive and protective for the LGBT or non-white or just PEOPLE. I cannot believe what I will do if Lunduke's products are before you being watched by me, probably I will just leave the community immediately. So SO happy to know that in this tech community we are also being accepted as part of it and there are pioneers like you standing against those jeopardising the whole community. OMG you actually didn't know but I literally cried for two minutes when I saw Lunduke bullying NBs pretending to just make a joke (right, this part I would actually suggest you put a content warning at least).
