  • Falling back to insults when you can’t provide a source isn’t terribly convincing.

    I can at least provide examples of them stating directly the opposite.

    I use Adobe Premiere for editing, and one of the many fun ways that Adobe is kind of ass is that it just doesn’t work on Linux.

    • Luke, “My Linux Curse is NOT Over… But It’s Getting BETTER - Pt.2 Linux 30 Day Challenge 2026”, emphasis mine

    Adobe is very clearly the party being blamed here, not linux.

    Also:

    The Proton compatibility layer has made incredible progress. Even actually during our last couple of months, it’s improved a lot. But it can’t do anything about developers who block their games on Linux.

    From “I Can’t Go Back To Windows”, again emphasis mine. Again very clearly laying the blame at the developers of the incompatible software.


  • Presumably you can point me to a specific video, since you seem so completely sure of it. I’m not scrubbing through potentially hours of footage to try to find something that I don’t think exists.

    As for your suggestion that he just reviews what he’s paid to do, sure, that seems plausible. I’m not trying to argue that it’s an impartial channel and people should be watching him. You certainly don’t need to defend a decision to not watch it.


  • There’s an important distinction between not caring about race in the sense that you treat all people you encounter with equal consideration, and not caring about race in the sense that you disregard all racially based socio-economic concerns. A person flippantly expressing a lack of caring reeks of the latter.



  • I cancelled my Netflix several years ago literally the very first time I got an error that too many people were watching or a screen wasn’t authorized or whatever the specific “you can’t share your account anymore” error was at the time.

    The fact that account sharing was tacitly allowed was literally the only thing keeping the value proposition of having the account afloat.




  • Does no one else notice that both of these responses point out that how the recipient feels makes a difference? They’re addressing the unfortunately most common experience, but also including that how you feel or if you’re okay with it is important.

    As for the “bias” being presented here, there’s nothing wrong with responding to unequal things unequally. Women are far more likely to experience unwanted touching and that’s just the sad reality.


  • also pretty wierd that he’s so about open source, and yet doesn’t consider linux a “social warrior” project

    isn’t it about giving to society? if not, what is linux about?

    He literally speaks to this point in his comment. He states that the goal of the Linux kernel project is to develop the Linux kernel, period. The social benefits from it being an open source project is a side effect. Just because it’s widely viewed as a “social good” doesn’t make it automatically a champion of every social issue that happens to show up in the course of its development.
