Uhh, how many bizarre faces and wild hand gestures Clickbait Robertson can make in one video?

That might as well be in Swahili. It is unintelligible to my old ears. Don't you have better things to do, zapper? Try staring at a blank wall. It would be preferable to that nonsense . . .

Re: For those who like parody...

@golinux he is making fun of GNOME developers silly.

@steve_v same to you as I said to golinux.

Given your signature I would have thought you would understand after watching it.

No shit, Sherlock.
The guy is still a muppet, and his videos are still all shallow clickbait devoid of any interesting technical merit. They range from "look, controversy" to "shiny new thing released"... Both kinds of "news" I can get elsewhere without the hype and hyperbole.

Given your signature I would have thought you would understand after watching it

It's blindingly obvious what he's getting at from the title, no need to watch it.
I'll go out on a limb and guess that this is just a "reaction video" clicking through some website he found, the "joke" probably isn't even his... As usual.

Re: For those who like parody...

@steve_v  was not obvious till I looked at comments.

I didn't know muppets could put videos online, I thought only humans could. I didn't know science has now found a way to make muppets talk, walk have brains like actual people.

Other guys do the same stuff online including that Landuke guy people sometimes praise here.

Ironically, I do agree with him on rust not being a magical bullet. I saw a title that said he wasnt thrilled with rust.

Anywho, harsh as usual I see.

Re: For those who like parody...

Oh, I see how it is.
People whose politics don't align with yours or you otherwise disagree with are "assholes", "parasites" or "facists", and saying so is fine... But calling out shallow clickbait for what it is is "harsh", because you agree with the the creator's views generally.

You want to play in the "Linux news videos" corner of the interwebs, you'll find the vast majority of it is regurgitated, rehashed nonsense from other sources.
Lunduke's videos are him reading his own blog posts about things he read on other blog posts, Brodie's are him making excited faces and waving his hands around while reading release announcements or clicking around other people's websites. Neither are particularly interesting, nor particularly creative.

As for muppets, you have seen Brodie's video thumbnails, right? I mean, if you go out of your way to pose like one...

rust not being a magical bullet

Of course it isn't, and anyone with a clue about programming knows it without watching some random not-very-technical video.
Rust is a tool like any other language, what you do with it is up to you, and using it doesn't magically make your code good (though it does make it harder to write particular kinds of bad).

Re: For those who like parody...

@steve_V it was the "no shit sherlock" part.

Also the "muppet" part too.

I don't really watch brodie's stuff much but I love a good gnome dev roast.

It seems like you want to play the petty game. Shall I post some your mom jokes?

Since you seem raring to go?
