I thought you guys made up a person to satirize Linux reviewers. I did not know this person was real until I looked him up. Didn’t go much futhur than checking out his name existing tho.
Nope, certainly a real and hateful person. He used to be cohost of the Linux Action Show, marketing manager at SuSe for a bit, and was popular for a series of talks called “Linux Sucks.” Somewhere in or around the beginning of the pandemic he went down the right wing rabbit hole. He is totally useless now, he’s a transphobic as fuck, and generally just has a hateful message about most things.
He religiously monitors his name, wouldn’t be surprised if he see this. If he is reading this: man, you just make me sad now. Please get help.
Are you saying he might actually be here? Shit, I wish I was wearing my good tie. You know, the one with fish?
Rat killers are people too… with real feelings, Bryan :(
I lost all respect for his technical taste when he confessed that his daily driver is FreeDOS. I know linux folks skew at least a little contrarian but at that point I don’t think we’re speaking the same language of computing and there’s not much I can learn from ya. Not super surprised to hear he went way overboard contrarian in other ways I guess.
“Technical taste” is the wrong angle here, and I see this a lot in FOSS. No amount of “good” or “great” technicality makes up for the fact that his personal views are abhorrent.
The first question we should ask is “are they a decent person” and the answer here is a hard no, so technical taste doesn’t even matter.
