I can't stand the guy. Seems like all he does is post videos about him getting triggered about software being developed by people who are vocal about their care for others.
Like buddy, do you understand what the FOSS community mostly consists of?

Indeed, the story is funny and weird. Though he used to share lots of interesting and funny perspectives. And these days the Youtube comments underneath are way more funny and on point than all his content.
Idk, I can't find that supposed Bluesky and Mastodon discussions, I think he made that up. And he fails to mention the email address is just a text field, people can put anything in there. And while highlighting it, he also completely fails to spot the timezone which is right next to it. And that's set to UTC-4 so America east coast. And as a blogger/influencer he could at least have sent a mail and see if it bounces before reporting on it... And then he invents what the reviewer's thought process was according to him, while the real next joke is their nationality, but he doesn't spot that either. So I don't know what to make of this. Sure he has a community and reach, and brings attention to niche things. But his own take on it tends to be wrong(?) and not in an inspiring way... In the old days he used to play devil's advocate and I think that was extremely on point. But you can't really fabricate "facts" and argue against that, because it turns it from a sarcastic, Socratic dialogue into just framing, spiked with misinformation and the next 15 minutes are just rambling and bullshit... And I think that's a bit sad because we know he's able to do more than that. And there's no shortage of people rambling and talking bullshit, so there is no need for him to jump on it as well. It turns him from the troll he used to be into just your average anti-woke nut without any originality, just a Linux theme slapped on top...
If a yt channel is unpredictable enough that you can't turn it on at work where folks can hear it, it's crossed beyond "rant" and into "inappropriate" territory. I would personally question what I'm getting from this guy, but I'm not here to make your choices for you.
It was a general statement, I was using "work" as a Lithmus test of "playing the video in public".
I suppose if you're that far right the gap between yourself and other points on the political spectrum is quite a gulf.
What did Ladybird do?
Kling has promoted the nonsense white replacement conspiracy theory, whined about "leftist activists".
The answer is because just a tiny bit of looking at kling - just like with DHH - will reveal so much more far-right attitude and behavior beyond kling rejecting an offer to fix the poorly written documentation.
Kling has promoted the nonsense white replacement conspiracy theory
This is news to me. I'll look into them saying that and change how I talk about this event. Because before knowing this I would've described it similarly as the other person. But yeah, any grace I was willing to extend goes away if they're parroting white replacement.
Lets combine that with the contributing.md here as a response to "Your docs could be written better, I can do that", and how he stands with DHH (note Lunduke there btw), which was a response to DHH+Ruby....
Well it kind of paints a picture. A very specific one, imo.
Lunduke, the video of the post, is also a pretty notably tech right wing, which is why I mention to note that earlier.
I will say, I think Kling hides it better than DHH, same with Vaxry, but... yeah its pretty small and specific circles that seem to gather.
As someone who has been online since the late 80's (BBS) and early 90's (internet), I'm well aware of how things can be amplified.
However, this does not require in-depth review. These are things you can discover with a cursory search that would have taken less time than writing that comment, FYI. I don't think anyone is sitting here suggesting Kling has grand plans for a gassing center, just that he promotes far right conspiracy theories and other hard-right ideology. This is a simple, easily verifiable statement.
i will stay with a neutral “oookay….”
Just so you know, this can come across condescending. I'm not going to say that was your intention, but that is absolutely how it would be read.
Bruh
Lmao there's actually something kind of hilarious about a person trying to push gender neutral terms into documentation for a program called "Ladybird".
Did they want the project to be renamed to "Lady/Man/Thembird" too? /S
One joke
For some, sure. For me, no... I genuinely feel bad for anybody who's head is so far up their ass that they fail to see the humour around the irony here.
I am also genuinely confused as to how there can be documentation for a web browser that has gendered terms in it in the first place... Aside from the browser name, what other gendered terms would there be?
It wasn't for Ladybird. It was for SerenityOS.
The irony youre laughing about isnt there.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
Did Lunduke now entirely jump on that bandwagon? Seems he now does 3 videos a week "calling out" wokeness and "extreme" leftists and it's become quite monothematic.
