        He was in the opensuse board of directors at some point I think. I knew him from his Youtube channel that talked about Linux and related topics, it was fairly popular in the Linux community for a while. I mostly watched it for Linux related news and technical opinions. A bit after he left that position, he started occasionally mentioning how now that he wasn't representing opensuse anymore he could finally "speak freely". That's when the channel started taking a weird turn.

        At first he started going on weird political tangents while doing the whole "I don't talk about politics" thing. Some videos started popping up where he would attack some person or organization for what seemed to be mostly political reasons, but under the guise of his reasoning being purely technical.

        Eventually, he just started sounding like someone who fell into a conspiracy rabbit hole, or some weird far right cult. I stopped watching then, most of his videos by then had little technical interest anymore and they sounded more like someone who was losing their mind. I don't know if it's a mental issue or something, but his whole persona shifted dramatically into something… weird. I haven't kept up in the mean time, though.

        To add some extra context to the other comment, the guy is a raging bigot.

        There's a well known post of his where he repeatedly and intentionally deadnames and misgenders Danielle Fore from elementaryOS, just from the top of my head.

      I don't follow him but in this particular blog post he's 100% right. Why Linux Foundation funds the Metaverse at all?

        that's the thing though. on top of being a scumbag he's really good at editorializing the garbage he writes.

        maybe try reading the actual report for yourself and see if you get to the same conclusions on your own?

      Imagine thinking that someone posting an article agrees with it, rather than thinking it is worth talking about…

        my brother in christ, who told you my comment was directed at you personally

        wait, actually? even if it was, imagine thinking anything that comes from Bryan "Nerds Are The Real Oppressed Class, Actually" Lunduke is worth talking about, lmao
