If you want to find someone who is trustworthy for linux info, never trust a far right nutcase like him.

Except Luke actually includes technical, educational content in some of his videos, where the aforementioned Brodie has silly faces, hype, and clickbait.
I'll take a 'tuber with intense (but ultimately irrelevant) political leanings who knows what they're talking about over a politically "correct" one who doesn't any day of the week.

Ive learnt quite a bit from Luke, only just found out about mental outlaw. Im not aware of there political leanings nor do i care either.
Another tuber ive learnt quite a bit from is Gavin Freeborn, really good no nonsense content.

Don't forget http://deb.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt , so people have a sense of what packages might be worth making compatibility packages/patches for

I have always assumed that it was not possible to fork those banned packages for technical dependency reasons . . .

“Are you for the computer or is it for you?”

Or, "Is this a hobby or a tool?". Either is a completly reasonable approach, and there are far worse things one could spend free time on than tinkering.
Most of my computers are workhorses, others are, well, more like pets. Same goes for my vehicles TBH, and electronic test equipment...

Yeah, ChatGPT, but there is some truth in that.

Once upon a time I diligently updated, configured, compiled, then I realized that instead of using the computer for its intended purpose, running application programs, I was doing its maintenance.
 
He gave up this occupation and has since looked after himself and I work for him.
Sometimes, reading forums, I want to tell my colleagues, decide for yourself-“Are you for the computer or is it for you?”

I watch videos to learn something, not get outraged about how left/right/upside-down the presenter is.
This obsession with putting people in little "political affiliation" boxes and discarding information from outgroups is extremely tiring, and I'll have no part of it.

I mostly get annoyed by him because he uses made up concepts like BASED which means absolutely nothing of value and his stupid pictures that mean nothing of value as well.

But that being said,

I am at least glad to hear he does something of value.

Anyone seriously interested in engaging with Devuan should monitor those sources. It is that simple.

Why you 'muricans think your political infighting is everyone else's problem (and feel the need to inject it into Every. Single. Discussion.) I will never understand. I watch videos to learn something, not get outraged about how left/right/upside-down the presenter is.

DISTROBOOB! LOL! That is so awful, but this isn't the joke thread.

Although, that would be more relevant for the dude who has the channels mentaloutlaw and lukesmith on youtube.

When we are very young, we feel very attached emotionally and are sensitive to

what we appreciate are interactions that are interdependent.

Then when we mature emotionally and intellectually, we can possibly find out

that instead of building relationships based on interdependency we can be

independent of each other, and thereby fostering a more healthy relationship

regardless of changes outside of our control in reality.

...this is a personal preference; I stopped watching him (Brodie Clobbers-some...I mean Brodie Robertson) when he started putting goofy faces on his thumbnails. I could put up with the thought of his arm/hand movements slapping me in the face if I were talking to him, but those goofy faces??? No thank you.

Colour of the error screen? Who cares.
That it's clearly copied from Windows? Cringe and worth a laugh, but ultimately irrelevant.
Replacing a full page (or more, while console scrollback was still a thing) of information with "the last error" and a QR code? Dumb. Just dumb. Shall we add a sad face emoticon as well?
Overlaying the GUI or dropping to a console? Sure, now do it while using the full screen for debug output and without the QR code nonsense.
Systemd contributors needing an explanation of "archaic" VT code and text interfaces before X/Wayland "takes over"... Deeply concerning. This is an init system and low-level utilities we're talking about here, anyone hacking on it should be well familiar with those things.

very strange.
