Neither honestly

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 hours ago

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

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

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

Religion and roads scrambled his brains.

[–] HouseWolf@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago

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 1 points 11 hours 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 😂

He said we was getting off the grid and also traveling to a few places.

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 79 points 19 hours 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.

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

[–] 30p87 10 points 18 hours ago

Example № 1 here.

I love how you can see his right-winginess by just his website

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

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 29 points 15 hours ago (3 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.

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! 👍

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] ellen@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours 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 5 points 6 hours 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 7 points 11 hours 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 4 points 11 hours 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.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 12 points 17 hours ago

Oh shit I didn't realize they were trans

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 37 points 19 hours ago

Those are the only two ways? What about:

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 22 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Who’s the guy on the right.

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