    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

    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

      Read some random comment saying he got a “trad wife” and basically quit the internet.

      Last post on his website seem to be from Feb 2023.

      I don’t think he had them all to begin with, but he lost the rest of his marbles. To be honest I think if he was a critical thinker and a bit more open-minded, he would have become an anarchist. But sadly he’s a Christian conservative.

      Also as I’ve learned more about linux, I realize he’s wrong about most things there too 😂

    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 [email protected] 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
