    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

      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.

      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 😂

    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

      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 [email protected] 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

        Example № 1 here.

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

        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.

          Damn that sucks that theyve not been moderating since then…

          She’s probs the most knowledgeable seeming talking head on the team.

            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.

            Super smart. Def had the most technical knowledge from the videos she was in. Nerd levels, but that’s a good thing!
