When I say he isn’t insightful I mean that his opinions aren’t unique. I can hear almost identical opinions from half a dozen other linux content creators who do not run a side blog promoting their far right identity politics. Maybe that isn’t giving him enough credit but Linux Sucks doesn’t seem to have changed much in content or structure from 2019, the last one I listened to. If being tired about hearing from cons…

Why don't you post these other creators then instead of attacking a video based on the political views of the author? I have no idea where you got transphobia from him, but there appears to be none in the video.

Bryan Lunduke is really interesting. A Microsoft alumni from the 90’s and early 2000’s moving on to become a champion for open source and Linux. He had a decent following with interesting insights and then just blew that all away. It’s not often someone can stick to their “convictions” but he has the wealth he never needed to build a following to have a career. He could have retired young, tinkered with computers and…

> sympathetic to January 6th protesters Ooof, this is a really bad look. I had no idea he sympathized with a group of unarmed boomer LARPers. His technical positions should be immediately disregarded because he has the wrong opinions about due process applying to people who put their feet on someone's desk. What a Nazi.

I'm not sure why I'm replying to this, it'll just fall of deaf ears... But Someone on the Internet is wrong[1]!

It took my literally two seconds to Google up some photos[2], they don't look very "unarmed"[3] to me.

One thing to look out for is that he maintains different outlets for "political" and "non-political" content, and he and his fans have a history of pointing to the latter to suggest that he's just a regular opinionated/straight-talkin' tech guru who's being slandered by unhinged haters. The reason that he does this is that his politics are trash (see his political blog, https://conservativenerds.substack.com , about…

I knew it. He's conservative and we can't handle mild political disagreement like grown-ups.

> we can't handle mild political disagreement

Do you take transphobia and covid denial as "mild political disagreement"?

That, for me, is not mild, and anyone that repeats this kinda garbage should put into the trashcan of history.

Again, I'm agreeing with you. One can of pepper spray would have rendered the entire armory of the Capitol Police ineffective, and Democracy would have been stolen from us.

One thing these Trumptards with their gun fetishism have over us is their extensive firearms knowledge, and they know that only one molecule of capsaicin entering the firing chamber of a .40 S&W pistol or .223 rifle completely disables it, so this Terrorist would have laid waste to the entirety of the defensive apparatus of DC. We really got lucky, here.

Every time I think about this Attack On Our Solemn Democracy I tear up. It could have gone the wrong way, very very fast. This incredibly well-organized, armed-to-the-teeth Boomerwaffen SS would have been no match for the Capitol Police, the DC Police, the DC National Guard, or the entirety of the Department of Defense under Posse Comitatus. The mechanized divisions of mobility scooters armed with Big Gulps alone would have overwhelmed this nation's defenses, and we would be living under a Dictatorship, forced to watch Fox News and re-runs of Murder She Wrote.
