@realcaseyrollins Constant infighting between contributors and forking means fewer people to maintain it, I guess.

@leyonhjelm @meso @coolboymew Bitmap fonts are easy to do manually.

@coolboymew @meso At least Godot being FOSS means that they can never enforce woke shit via EULA. People can make racist shock games with the engine and the Godot team can't do anything about it.

@nicholas @theorytoe He didn't like how those creators were on the front-page of the site because they used no-no words in the title of those videos. He said that he doesn't mind them making those videos but he said that they shouldn't be featured on the front page.

@prettygood @theorytoe I think his reporting on these issues is just from his hard free-speech stance. He tried to steer away from politics from the longest time. It was clear that he wasn't even familiar with the meaning of certain political labels. But as the culture war started affecting the FOSS community he couldn't ignore it anymore.

He has been labeled as a "far-right conspiracy theorist", but even the far-right hates him because he is "Jewish and proud". In fact, at one point (possibly due to the "ad-pocolypse") he made his full podcasts available to Patreon members only while only releasing clips for free on YouTube (I didn't even know that was even allowed). He was called a bunch of antisemitic slurs because of it, so he disabled comments on all of his videos, and I think that event is what kicked off Luke Smith's popularity as he was the polar opposite of Lunduke in many ways (anti-shill, focus on software minimalism instead of gimmicky software, etc)

@theorytoe I used to watched Lunduke back in 2017. He was pretty laid back. He talked about Linux, other FOSS operating systems like Haiku, and retro-computing, including showing off his old BBS. During that time he was mostly apolitical. He openly said that he didn't know what left or right meant. But he had a hard stance on free speech on the Internet and he spoke out when The Daily Stormer was deplatformed by virtually every Internet infrastructure company in the world, despite Lunduke himself being "a very proud Jewish man".

I haven't watched him much since 2018, but it appears that lately, he has been exposing organizations like The Linux Foundation and how they are donating to WEF-adjacent causes as well as FOSS projects using CoCs.

Seeing his name being censored from the Linux Mint forums pissed me off the most. That used to be my go to recommendation for Windows users wanting to switch to Linux (issues with SystemD aside), but I can't recommend it at all anymore because of that.

@theorytoe Talking about Lunduke or DeVault?

@theorytoe Drew DeVault going after Bryan Lunduke of all people just showed me how much of an insufferable asshole he truly is.

People who take out their anger or depression on people who have nothing to do with it are the most insufferable assholes to ever walk this earth.

@icedquinn I just don't want people to start defending the UN because of this. They still signed the Pact of the Future a few days ago.

Oh great, so everyone is going to be pro-UN now even after signing the dystopian "Pact for the Future"?
