Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.
He’s very edgy, I don’t like his content. If I want someone to talk about tech, I’d rather they just talk about tech and not make wojack thumbnails and constantly making fun of politics.
If he only knew anything about politics, it wouldn’t be so bad. He seriously applauded Elon Musk for “fighting” against media bias by “the far-left democrats”. 🫠
It’s because he just regurgitates all his takes from /g/ on 4chan.
Same as Luke smith, good linux content but they both cryptofascists. Also its funny that they both turned into grifters, one with monero and one with a shitty dropshipping merch.
Anything with pepe the frog or anime in the thumbnails or anybody that says “based” is not worth it in my opinion.
Well he’s kinda ironic about that
Yeah, nah, I don’t think that’s true my dude. I’ve heard his opinions on the gay agenda, 5g, trans people, and ‘cultural marxism’ being taught in our schools. I think it’s just as serious as the place he gets alot of his views, the image boards we all know. It’s the same irony you see on 4chan
When did he ever talk about those things? Did I miss something?
You can watch the podcast, or longer form political videos, that lukesmith does where he goes onbut he also peppers it into his videos every so often. I haven’t watched in a while, so maybe he’s calmed down a bit, but he seems to do this more frequently around major events
Tech content is passable, wish he’d stick to that. Been losing points with politics, cheap merch and lazying out with what basically amounts to reaction videos.
Any other recommendations for tech content? Seytonic and The new oil are nice.
I see everyone talk about his politics but what do you expect the man to do. Not stand up for his ideological support for FOSS technology and not talk about radical new technology such as the 3D printing of guns?
It feel’s like being a genuine human being is enough to throw people off nowadays. It’s not like he’s a grifter, he has given critique on right wing social media, the “freedomphone” and republican legislation regarding tech.
Disagree with his politics, but otherwise based.
His political stance is garbage but has some usefull videos llike degoogling lineageos
Informative tech content. I’m right leaning but more towards the center so I don’t agree with everything he says politically speaking, but I have no issues viewing his content since at the end of the day he’s still libertarian and anti-establishment. I also have no problems holding conversations with the anarcho socialists on lemmy, because at the end of the day they’re also not advocating for more control over my life, we just have disagreements on the technical details of how society should work.
Holy shit as a socialist this is the most grounded and respectable take I have ever seen.
He’s a weeb. Enough said.
