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 !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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

Am I missing something? Are podcasts a partisan thing now?

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 would subscribe to Emily if she made a separate channel. They were so chill how they talked about Linux and I she could easily teach how to understand it.

There’s a Floatplan exclusive from two months ago, and I think another one from a little further back. As for the other comments about her leaving LTT, I’ve heard those rumours as well but never managed to find any source for them, so not sure.

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

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

It was always about Kenny (Outlaw) since they have similar voices and views. But Brodie? rofl

I just checked his YouTube channel and a lot of his videos have alt-right rhetoric or dog-whistles in the title or thumbnail.

he does not strike me as a nice person :/

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
