I have no idea who he is, never heard of him. You shall not judge a book by its cover but .. he is making it hard. His video titles are:

* Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork (Without Systemd)

* NeoFetch But in Rust and More Gay

* Chimera Linux is "Here to Further Woke Agenda by Turning Free Software Gay"

* Are Jews the Cause of DEI in Big Tech?

Yeah .. I did not watch a single video of his. But just from a short few seconds It's not anything I want to invest time in to see if he has a point or not. Life is too short.

Whatever I might agree or disagree with, this is annoying to look at, but his stuff keeps coming up in my YouTube feed. Even it looks slightly interesting, I know it will be some rant involved about a thing not related to technology, but some developer's personal opinions on non-tech ideas. I get it - people are horrible! Sheesh!

FWIW, probably not much, he said he had a Jewish background ... in, like, the one video I watched and eventually gave up on.

You can just mute/hide a channel from your feed permanently.

what's especially strange to me is that in the more distant past, he was a pretty normal guy - at least as normal as any other linux user. Heck, he had a super great podcast (Linux Action Show).

Something changed in the 2014ish time-frame when it got more and more politically extreme.

[subsistence234]

what do you think changed culturally around 2014 (I'd say it started a little earlier, maybe 2011)?

[OCASMv2]

His views are the normal ones.

* Are Jews the Cause of DEI in Big Tech?

...errrrrrrrrrrrrr, plot twist, he is a jew himself, or at least he claimed he is.

> NeoFetch But in Rust and More Gay

apt-install --fuck-yes gay-rust-neofetch

I’ll look to migrate to chimera shortly, but only if it includes gay neofetch.

Now I want to make a Woke Linux to drive this guy insane, the CoC alone will make his face melt

[FrostViper8]

It won't do anything of the sort. It will allow him to make 200 videos complaining about it, get a load of ad-revenue and sell subscribestar memberships.

The best thing to do with people like Lunduke is ignore them.

[heavyset_go]

Yeah I'm aware, reactionaries are gonna reactionary. I'm just taken aback that anyone's brain would even look at a kernel through that warped lens.

It's always horrible when your niche get poisoned by this rhetoric.

[FrostViper8]

While I believe Lunduke is a dishonest actor, he is tapping into something.

There are many people in and around tech that disagree with the direction. They want to pushing back against mega corporations, government surveillance etc. They see CoC, Woke as part of that corporate/government apparatus.

You can watch someone like Sam Bent's or Mental Outlaws YouTube channel and you will start to understand that attitude.

> It's always horrible when your niche get poisoned by this rhetoric.

Tech like a lot of areas of life has been hyper politicised. The best thing you can do is not to play the game at all.

Bonus points if you can make it non-binary.

[subsistence234]

you're at least 10 years too late with that idea
