What are your thoughts on Louis Rossmann?
-
good, but man his videos on the SteamDeck are really over negative for no reason. For someone who really supports Linux he doesn't seem to much appreciate the thing getting Linux to mainstream popularity
-
I think I agree with most comments here.
He's usually right and I agree with him, I just find him a little hard to watch. His videos are a bit long winded.
I 100% support him. I think his heart and mind are in the right place.
-
I don't think there is such a thing as over-the-top with this issue. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. And we're already miles past that point.
-
wow not a single mention of how he has a Kiwi Farms account in the comments here, surprising
-
Ah yeah that's pretty solid evidence. My own experience has been with my own comments getting removed, and it happening far too quickly to be manual moderation. If you actually saw someone else's comment, and then noticed it gone, it's hard to call that anything other than a deliberate silencing of their viewpoint.

We are allowed to guide the growth of things and show where they need work.
Didn't you people have report cards?
-
Soo, what? Does he actively participate in harassment?
-
I was just saying the other day it feels like he gets through all that needs to be said in the first half of the video and then spends the rest ranting/reiterating himself. But I think he has good talking points
-
He fights the good fight but I don't like his videos very much because he's very whiny and annoying.
-
Lol, him screaming quietly pisses me off.
-
The TTS uses whisper and absolutely dominates. But it is garbage still as a swipe interface. It direly needs to catch up on that front before I can recommend it full-time to friends. I spend SO much time retyping things it gets wrong.
-
He's doing some really good stuff for right to repair; he get's a bit overly dramatic sometimes but you can tell that he's just very passionate about those things.
I think he's the best type of influencer; rather than money or fame he strives for an end to the constant enshittification by exposing bad actors and not giving a shit about it.
-
If you're looking for a reasonable FOSS swipe keyboard, try AnySoftKeyboard. While still a step below the non FOSS keyboards I've used before like Swiftkey, it gets the job done reasonably well
-
He said he wasn't going to use GrapheneOS anymore because Daniel Micay threatened to blackmail him because Rossman had made a comment on a video describing his behavior online.
-
This comment shows your stripes..
-
First half is generous imho. From the one I just watched it felt like 3/4 was spent rehashing the same thing over and over.
-
"Source available" grifter.
-
I respect the effort he's put into right to repair, and agree (in general) with most of the points he makes about it.
But I also think he's an asshole and we need a better voice for the RtR movement. I've seen him get into fights and strawman people on reddit as corporate shills just for calling his attitude abrasive.
-
Blackmail?
-
I long wondered how he manages to identify as a libertarian despite what he spends all his time talking about, now it's starting to make more sense lol
