I liked lunduke when he was on odysee, but he flipped out and rage quit when they wouldn't permaban randos he didn't like. What, did he think, I was going to follow him to youtube?

I'm pretty sure people are only going after Bryan Lunduke because they need to go after someone after Luke Smith stopped doing videos and is doing God knows what now.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy That's honestly a bigger insult to the whole Phantasy Star fanbase than just PSO2 fans. Rieko Kodama must be spinning in her grave, knowing what her beloved RPG franchise has become.

@PurpCat One thing with Pop_OS is that it is sold with a certain brand of computers so it is easier to recommend to someone who is also looking to buy a new computer as well.

I used to use Xubuntu regularly. I always liked the XFCE interface, especially how they set it up. It kind of reminds me of Classic Mac OS by having the start menu be up top.

@PurpCat That was always my go to recommendation for anyone wanting to switch to Linux. I would probably recommend Pop_OS instead now, but I think having something like Cinnamon as the default DE makes it easier for people coming from Windows.

Back when I watched him, he openly said he didn't know what left or right meant. He seemed to lean more into the classical liberal side of things. He is even hated by the far-right because he openly claims to be Jewish and proud.

He always spoke out against Internet censorship (such as when TDS got shutdown back in 2017) and ridiculous CoCs. It seems like during the past few years he wrote a bunch of articles on woke, far-leftists subverting FOSS communities, including those who were hostile to those refusing the COVID vaccine. He also wrote about how the Linux Foundation's donations are going to WEF-adjacent causes.

I've never seen him do anything that warrants whatever is currently happening.

He doesn't need to. It's about curating which voices are permitted to be influential.
I'm not even sure it's about his politics because I've seen the same happen to those on the "other side of the spectrum", just in a different way.
I am definitely concerned that "the community" seems to spend a suspiciously high amount of effort keeping out independent voices.

To reiterate it's not just those evil "right wing conspiracy theorists" even Aral got totally railroaded for saying maybe Fedora shouldn't ship with a broken screen reader for 8 years.

@djsumdog Oh, of course that piece of shit, Drew DeVault decided to go after him. God, I fucking hate his guts!

@djsumdog I watched him a lot back in 2017. He did some great videos on Linux as well as some laid back videos on retrocomputing, such as showing off his old BBS. He tried to be as apolitical as possible (it was his stated policy), but he started to speak out against CoCs, internet censorship, and those "ethical software" licenses.

But despite that he has gripes against "family unfriendly content" being front page on certain networks. He used to be on the Fediverse, but apparently he really didn't like all the anime lewds from FSE and the like, so he went to Gab instead. He also left LBRY/Odysee once because a featured video said the word "shit" on the title.

Okay, these SC2K soundfont remixes sound awful and I apologize.
