This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.
This is a genuine concern that I have.
I don’t daily drive Linux (though I use Tmux and Vim 8 hours a day if that counts for anything) so take this with a grain of salt. Would those companies jumping to Linux really be a problem? Steam is embracing Linux and it seems like it’s legitimized Linux gaming in a way that people never thought was possible. I hate Adobe, but how would Photoshop Linux edition prevent you from using open source alternatives?
I DON'T CARE WHAT THIS NAZI BURNOUT THINKS
Oookie dokie... 👀
Why is everybody hating on him ?
Typical lemmy dumbassery. This behaviour is so fucking boring that the people still acting this way must be children that have a 1-bit processor acting as their brain.
He's had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said "death to all Jews". Pewdiepie didn't think they would actually do it.
They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he's a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.
Not every country finds saying n word offensive and he's not American.
Nobody really uses that word other that in the US. Everyone on the internet that knows that word knows it with the context already.
Have I got some news for you,
Im Australian aboriginal and grew up in Northern Australia.
Our uncles used to call us little niggers when we were young.
When they were kids just after we were recognised as Australians and allowed to vote people would refer to them as niggers too
Ironically no one cares about the word the way Americans do
It also means Brown in French
Furthermore here's a Monash university excerpt with a link to the whole thing for your consideration
"case was brought by an Aboriginal man in relation to the name of a spectators stand at his local football ground -the 'ES "Nigger" Brown Stand'. This name was displayed prominently on the stand and in addition was used in frequent announcements during football matches at the ground. The decision records that the stand had been named (in 1960) after a local football identity, ES Brown, who during his childhood in the early 1900s acquired the nickname 'Nigger'. The decision also records that ES Brown was of Anglo-Saxon descent. In the view of the applicant, the word 'nigger' always carries a culturally racist meaning and there are no contexts in which it has a neutral or nonderogatory meaning.58 In this case, the respondent led evidence from other Aboriginal people to the effect that they were not offended by the name of the sports stand. The Federal Court judge hearing this case determined that the use of the word 'nigger' in this context did not have any racist connotation or message.59 After articulating that s 18C called for an objective test, the judge determined that the use of 'nigger' here was not 'reasonably likely in all the circumstances to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate an indigenous Australian or indigenous Australians generally."jO Graycar's work prompts us to ask how the judge formed this (objective) knowledge, particularly in the context of the conflicting opinions expressed by the complainant and Indigenous people called by the re~pondent.~' By what processes and mechanisms did the adjudicator here come to this understanding of the (reasonable) Indigenous response to the use of the word 'nigger' in this context" https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/MonashULawRw/2004/2.pdf
Decent human beings in every country find that word offensive (with the exception of the people of color slang culture saying it among each other). The people not finding it offensive are mentally ill hate-filled racists.
Yeah, but as a swede myself I definitely know it's a no no word especially as by that time other YouTube's already had their own n-word controversies.
echochambers and then left will complain why they are loosing
This seals it, I should never use Linux again.
I'm not a tech guy
Yeah I think he's a tech guy...he just doesn't know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).
He did Linux much better than Linus of LTT fame.
Yes but he's obviously far more qualified. LTT was trying to give real-world impressions of someone with a technical mind but also zero experience with Linux. Yes, he did something dumb and was clearly not paying attention, but also he never should have been put in that position in the first place. Every distro probably needs to automatically force an update as part of the setup process.
By saying he's not a tech guy probably just means he's not a programmer. But with how he's done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.
He seems to be a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.
I remember when he played minecraft and made a redstone contraption to auto-feed villagers or something. He started by saying that he wasn't good at redstone and proceeds to show something so complex that I would have to follow a tutorial to make it.
I am a programmer, and I can barely put together a latch in redstone. Anyone that programs redstone is a "tech guy" to me (whether they can build a PC or not).
He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it's computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.
I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume "kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses" and stop teaching general computer courses. That's a problem.
