i don't want to watch pewdiepie, can someone explain what's his beef here
Just throwing this out there, you can open the video and expand the description and there is a button you can click on to view the transcript of the video and then you can just copy that out into a text editor or read it right there

That boy doing so much work for privacy and linux communities. I love it!
Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.

He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?

Heartbreaking: one of the most deplorable people in the world made a good point.
If pewdiepie is one of the most deplorable people in the world you know of. You must live in some kind of alternative universe and in paradise.

Listen, we don't read the article and we don't watch the video before commenting. Maybe we're reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.
Exactly!
So has anyone tried this pewpowpie recipe and does it taste any good? -

That's going to be one long arc though
He'll be crawling around xmpp chatrooms talking about anarchists soon.
-
watch the video and you will find out wink
I prefer not to use youtube

I just use down sub to pull the transcript from his video It's only 60% as annoying.
He has the normal privacy versus cost worries which are reasonably valid. Then he rambles on, plugs a product that he's shilling that's unrelated to the subject matter, says he's replacing Google search with a local LLM, does some hot takes on alternatives, does some reasonable takes on some alternatives.
To be honest, this is probably the least helpful de-googling video I've seen, other than the fact that he's a major influencer and is telling everyone they should be doing it.

I don't think it was supposed to be particularly helpful. It's more of him sharing his passion with his audience. Which isn't going to be interesting if you don't care about him.

I don't think they're including Kodi with Google maps, I think they're just continuing with the list.

To be fair, watching random YouTube videos can be demotivating. A transcript would be much nicer.
-
Same, it feels surreal.
I was typing out in the comments that he should try nextcloud before I finished the video, and towards the end I saw that he was running Nextcloud. Fantastic

It still baffles me why anyone likes him in the first place tbh
-
Let's hope so.
What's next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?
Earth ships are so cool

Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it's just someone talking, it should've been an article.

Wait for it, I bet a whole bunch of people mentioned it in the comments of this one. That will probably be the topic of his next video. Although I'm hoping for stopkillinggames.com.

started with minecraft & redstone, now linux & degoogling, can we extrapolate that in some years pewd's gonna start hrt lol

has he stopped "accidentally" naziing?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I really don't get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn't like Google anymore. That's not the kind of clown I'd want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it's really making me second guess the people here.
Edit: @[email protected] 's comment has provided info I didn't have, and recontextualizes the attitudes here I wasn't understanding, so now I get why there's support for this.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah this is why it's so offputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don't believe he's ever outright apologized and owned up to what he's said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.
