Surprising to see Youtuber PewDiePie (110M subscribers) publishing a video last night , "I installed Linux (so should you)" with a call to his community to join the platform, underlining the fun of customisation and DIY, in opposition to all the enshitification of Windows. His main point of friction for moving was Photoshop, and he explained how he made the effort to adapt GIMP to his needs. Always good to see initiatives like that shared to large audience.

Shower Thought: SUVs were invented because American car companies wanted to keep making body-on-frame V8 cars, AND have tariff protection by registering them as trucks.

@wowaname I'm not trying to be bipartisan. The problem is that Drew is trying to be bipartisan. I agree that this shouldn't be a left/right issue, but Drew thinking that this technocracy is exclusively coming from the right is just going to alienate people.

Has Drew DeVault ever comment about carbon-credit scores or ULEZ cameras? Not from what I've seen. I'm against all forms of technocracy, left or right, but Drew seems to be only against "right-wing technocracy".

@wowaname Drew DeVault was calling for tech workers in general to sabotage in both the private and public sector because Trump is in office and Big Tech isn't pretending to be left-wing anymore.

He even directed his incitement towards Palantir, which is run by faux-libertarian technocrat, Peter Thiel. I'm not a fan of Thiel, but by targeting him and Musk specifically, they will start to think twice before hiring and it gives them another excuse to hire H1Bs from India because those people probably never even heard of Drew DeVault.

I know that the technocratic issues are real and they are happening regardless of who is in office, but Drew making it about "right-wing bad" instead of looking at the bigger picture is going to make any opposition towards it look cringe.

Also, his simple sabotage ideas suck and will just lead to the saboteur getting caught. The Simple Sabotage handbook that he cited was much better written compared to his glowing blog post.

@wowaname It's for the wrong reasons and the simple sabotage ideas that he brought up will just leave a paper trail for the saboteur.

🚨 NEW REPORT: ATF gun control enforcement numbers dropped in 2024 but don’t cheer yet.

📉 Tyranny isn’t OK just because it’s “less”
📛 Donald Trump still holds the all-time record

Both parties crush the 2nd Amendment. That’s the story. ⬇️

@bonifartius He seriously needs to stop. I actually agree with this KF poster in that the technocracy issues are real, and Peter Thiel is just another technocrat, but Drew DeVault is going to make any opposition towards someone like Thiel look cringe. He's doing way more harm than good with his borderline fedpost.
