The article doesn’t explain why using the Rust programming language would be some kind of punishment to developers.
Lunduke mentioned, fundamentally unserious.
And what is wrong with Rust again?
Nothing. Lunduke hates it because woke. His fanboys hate it because sheep.
It is humor. :-)
Seventy comments and not one soul has defended Perl…
It’s not 2006 anymore
I’ve only ever been told that perl is a write-only language :D
Perl users don’t have souls.
Why would I spend my time defending it to !believers? “Laziness is a virtue”. I could spend the time writing even more perl code and piss off everyone else working on the project. Also I don’t have a soul, that is 1.
There’s probably fewer than ten of us here
Fake.
Linus Torvalds would never feel bad about punishing developers for incompetence.
You can tell it’s fake because he’d never warn them.
Thanks for looking out for those who did not immediately see it as a whimsical fabrication.
I suspected, but I have no idea what’s happening in that world, and the entire planet is such a weird place right now, that literally anything is possible, no matter how whacky.
Edit: I am an idiot. Sincere apologies, Digit.
I had no thoughts of you one way or the other at all, let alone that. Though I do now… Way to show your narcissism shaft, conjuring hostile poor-me self-aggrandising drama from nothing.
I was just thanking you.
Oh, jeez! Okay, I owe you an apology. This one is on me - I misread and just did what I accused you of doing. Sorry, Digit. I’ve got no excuse.
Hoovering accepted. ;D
I would also have expected to see some mild insults (he has improved quite alot in terms of toning himself down).
Been saying this for years. rustc is basically the compiler equivalent of a parent making the house rules stricter to reign in bad habits.
“Alright, from NOW ON, EVERYONE USES A BORROW CHECKER!!!”
“But mooooom~”
“No buts, Mister.”
I’m not a programmer, but I find satire around programming easier to parse these days than satire around politics.
i think… floorp is in the process of replacing spidermonkey with deno… which is… v8
This is a real sentence a (allegedly) real human being wrote. :)
Not even a fucking made up sentence. That was a real developer expressing a real problem.
“Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.” is a real error.
Terragrunt?
It’s Brian Lunduke. It’s likely not satire depending on date.
Dude’s so fucked up. I remember watching him I think a year or two years ago, but I stopped because since he started to post fascist stuff. Last time I have looked on his channel, it was only bat-shit crazy far-right bullshit.
It’s Schrödinger’s satire.
The difficulty with all satire is those in power or with loud megaphones are doing stuff that was satire ten years ago. The stuff being made up by either side is hard to tell from reality

Just FYI Lunduke is a fascist or at least very fascist adjacent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhqeuO9RKKk
I found this pic on duckduckgo, didn’t even visit the website to save it.
And I’m not watching a 1h+ video with a title that has nothing to do with your claim, to find out if some dude I don’t even know or care about is a fascist.Fair response. I just hope you’ll have it in mind if you stumble on other of this guy’s stuff. He’s terrible.
Lunduke is mentioned 10s into the video and Linux Sucks is his series of videos.
… “The end of Linux has already happened”, and he’s serious about it, complaining about pretty much everything.
He’s definitely anti-woke in all its colorful facets, self-confesssed “conservative” and hides behind constant “I’m not political” statements to continue pushing clearly political opinion.
He is the Alex Jones of the Linux community.
All this becomes very clear in the first 10 min of the video.
Why the defensiveness? They didn’t accuse you of anything, just made you aware.
TBH I feel the same way when someone sends me a source that would take a good fraction of my day to check.
Why don’t you put in a little bit of your own time to extract the relevant parts, and explain the surrounding context?
He gave us the context
or at least fascist adjacent
That’s not really what I meant.
To do this properly, OP would have to start with the relevant timestamp and a brief transcript. The context would then be, like, why this is being mentioned in that video and at that place in the video, even if it’s as simple as “this is a prominent Linux YouTuber talking about the drama a bit in passing”. Just so that it’s not quote mining from irrelevant people and places.
(It’s worth noting that a guy I’ve never heard of being fashy isn’t really a crazy claim, anyway. I’m not going to make final judgements based on it, but then I wouldn’t ask for a source, either)
“If you don’t occupy yourself for 5 hours with this thing I am forcing you to do, it means you’re a fascist or an apologist (implication: and I am therefore justified in potentially harassing you).”
I think this person is just a violent control freak IMO but I could be wrong
WTF I never said you must watch the video… OP answered they don’t even know who it is that’s perfectly reasonable. I I won’t pressure them into learning more about Lunduke. Nobody deserves that.
Well, that’s a little too far the other way. It was still a single comment.
Most people online are chomping at the bit to dox and therefore murder each other on extremely flimsy pretexts IMO. Every time I see any kind of accusation against a non-famous person that’s what it turns out to be.
If you’re unable to explain something to a child, an old person, a stupid person, or an apathetic person, you don’t really know enough about the topic to be an authority.
A lunduke post without whining about wokeness, you must have pulled this out of an ancient tomb
it’s not obvious but, i’m pretty sure this meme (and its creator’s vehement opposition to rust) is in fact substantially motivated by queerphobia.
While I’m sure you’re right because that’s what I’ve seen too, I am also aware that there is a nonzero number of people who accuse people of fascism for no reason other than to harass them, so I’m going to need you to drop a source that will take me less than five minutes to understand.
I feel like its usually not with the intent to harass but a misapplication of the term born of genuine ignorance about what makes someone or something fascist, which is itself subjective in certain contexts.
A cursory glance at his Twitter profile shows him using the R slur, defending the fascist paramilitary group ICE, sharing an image that appears to depict Canada and Mexico being entirely conquered and subsumed by America, here’s an interesting little post of him glorifying literally fascist art, being a general transphobe (unsurprising), and im sure there’s lots of other heinous stuff i missed.
Really it was very clear from one single glance at his Twitter page. Come on now, you can manage that much on your own surely.
Doesn’t twitter force you to make an account to see posts?
No… I don’t think I could have taken a glance at his twitter/x page. I don’t have an account. Every time someone tries to show me something from twitter I just get the login page. I’m not going to go through the trouble of making a sockpuppet account just because you gave me a chore I clearly don’t care about. If you need me to see it so badly you can take a screenshot. You’re the one who cares about this guy so talking about him is 100% your responsibility. If you want me to care about him too, that’s on you to accomplish, because I don’t care about him naturally.
If you’re the person who states a fact it’s up to you to prove it, it’s not up to your listener, who btw isn’t going to care until you give them a reason to care. You are a stranger and we don’t have a built in social contract so I have even less motivation to do something in order to please you than I would if we actually knew each other.
I tried to click on your link but it took me to something called X cancel, which I navigated away from. Thanks for sending me a phishing link instead of a screenshot, now I’ve got to go change my passwords.
Xcancel is an alternative frontend for twitter to specifically avoid having to create an account to use Twitter. Again you could’ve gotten this information with a simple google search lmao “what is xcancel” 😂 there, I even typed it for you.
I also wasnt the person you responded to initially.
I also think that you’re a startlingly uncurious person if doing even a cursory glance at a google search is too much for you. Maybe these kinds of discussions just arent for you to begin with. If you really couldnt care less whether someone is a fascist or not, certainly not to the point of wanting to actually find out for yourself, then yeah maybe dont partake in the conversation.
You’re more interested in defending being lazy than you are in discussing the subject. I’m sure you’ll say something like “its the principle that matters”, which is the most boring possible answer you could give. I’m more than willing to see if someone hates trans people and/or is a white supremacist. I would absolutely prefer to know that so I can avoid them. It took me very minimal effort to find that information for myself. Less than 2 minutes.
I’m going to need you to drop a source that will take me less than five minutes to understand
that sounds like sealioning 🤡 but i'll bite, once:
are you asking for evidence that lunduke is queerphobic, or that the rust community has a disproportionate number of queer people in it?
or, do you acknowledge both of those things, and are actually suggesting that lunduke’s vehement opposition to rust could maybe conceivably be entirely coincidental and perhaps he dislikes it for purely technical reasons? 😂
in any case, i’m not going to link to lunduke but i just checked and confirmed that (as i assumed) if you simply search his twitter for the word rust you can find many tweets (and i only went back a month) where he is in fact complaining about people being queer.
Ok. You didnt post anything, but whatever. I’m gonna block you, please don’t stalk me for years.
that little triangle means you need to click on the the text in the comment to read the rest of it, because it’s wrapped in a spoiler tag. also fyi you can search twitter without a login using xcancel.com; it takes much less than 5 minutes to do so.
I mean, Rust does have a pretty inclusive community…
As soon as I saw the name Lunduke - the Linux community’s Alex Jones for at least a decade - just not sure how much parody and how much trolling this is.
Last time I heard about Lunduke, he made pretty funny “Linux sucks” talks. I feel like I’ve missed stuff.
Ho boy. Don’t ruin the good ol’ memory of the dude. Some things should be left untouched, just like the movies you watched as a child.
Yes, please more unhinged Torvalds memes
Careful, if you push them too much someone might make their own Linux, with Javascript (and hooks).
Do we have a rule 34 analogue for Linux distros?
Linujs
Jinus
We might all start using Ironclad.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day thank you.
Quit screwing around. You all screw around too much!
If nothing gets through to them why would Rust or Perl go through?
