PewDiePie has switched to Linux
-
Yup, fuck him, he deserves Windows 8.
-
i brought it up because it is indicative. he may not have started out courting nazis, but he developed an audience that tolerated it, and in turn got more extreme himself. mutual radicalization.
-
9 years old
There was an in-joke among him and his viewers that all the viewers were 9 years old.
-
Him deleting his whole fucking system because he refused to read something before typing yes to it and them blaming everyone but himself is the funniest shit ever.
-
great, coz I was not fully sold on Linux until I saw a nazi switch to it.
-
family content? maybe he's concerned about the future of Aryan children
-
Ok so this is the worst thing I can think of, mainly because now there will be an absolute metric assload of an influx of newbies to Linux with the reading comprehension of a fucking toddler (ie. the entire fanbase of this fucknut whose probably apparently still a fucking nazi or something? Don't know, never could stand him) flooding forums and other places after some "artificial intelligence helper" of some megacorporation told them to "sudo rm -rf /" or something. Let's just hope they'll mostly stick to everywhere else but here
-
Now ppl are gonna think I switched because of this start indian hate mf
-
Incorrect. A Nazi is a person who sincerely believes that there should be no individual freedom and that whole races should be exterminated. This, by contrast, was a standard-issue millennial ignoramus who said some silly things and then regretted it. There is a difference.
-
Everyone gets to be one of the 10,000 when they need to be.
Sounds like we should ensure people are not trusting Ai for their answers, and also maybe be sure they're asking questions properly. There's nothing that brings in better answers than a question asked properly.
Oh, this is gonna be exciting. THINK of how their reading comprehension is going to soar. We have to be great sources of info and we have to write properly, but we've got this. We can represent a great community. Right?

Awww, there you go, Mitch Hedberging so fast.
-
This kind of elitism is a good way to keep new users from even getting started
-
You think a toddler can find their way to Lemmy? We are safe
-
Isn’t his audience just edgy kids? The same kind I imagine when talking about 4chan.
-
Now that he's on a communist OS, maybe he'll adopt some other communist/anarchist views
Like not saying the N word
-
Maybe using a communist OS will radicalise them to the left
-
Yep. The reason Windows and macOS are way more accepted than Linux is because they’re essentially idiot proof. Linux is not and that’s not necessarily a good thing if you want the year of the Linux desktop to actually happen one day.
-
To be fair, running "apt install steam" and it promoting to remove the base packages is a pretty bad bug, and the safeguard they've put in place since that incident in case you remove your entire distro was long overdue. If he were using it in a professional setting? Skill issue, read the output. But he was using it... as a user!
-
He was born in 89 which is very close to my age. Most people my age that are kind of techy but don't do it as a job or main hobby probably tried Linux around 2010 or so, at which time it was rubbish for gaming, and wrote it off as impractical. It absolutely makes sense for someone that hasn't tried it since then to say "now" when referring to its ability to play most games well, because it's relative to when they last tried it.
