Head cinema: a meme that goes „you look mad easy to draw“ followed by the offender holding up a scribble that captures 100% of the face features of the offendee
Didn’t know this guy before but it really doesn’t matter if he was literally Hitler and decides to start using Linux. It’s an operating system not a club, it really makes no difference. Maybe slightly more moderation for people on linux communities on mainstream platforms (e.g. reddit).
Yeah, that’s the nature of mass adoption, is that people you don’t like start coming into the community.
This always happens. A community stays intact so long as it stays niche, but once it reaches mass adoption, that community splinters into smaller communities.
The ‘Linux community’ will eventually cease to exist and will be replaced with communities who use Linux in specific fashions.
who even is that
A youtuber with 5 million followers and 5 billion views, and has won “Streamer of the Year” at the streamer awards in the past.
If you’re asking out of genuine curiosity: a youtuber with a lot of influence.
If you’re asking to brag how out of touch you are: someone with more influence than you.
bro, is it you? are you that streamer?
no. but asmongold, even if you dont like him is one of the larger, more influential people out there. Should he be? Is his content that good? Doesn’t matter.
“Who even is that” heavily implies “why should I care” and the answer is: because he has a fanbase of rabid morons incapable of independent thought who will do whatever he says to do. So linux spaces are very likely about to be bombarded with people who hate linux without having ever tried it because asmongold said he didn’t like it, or a bunch of people adopting linux.
It also heavily implies “Im proud of the fact that I dont know who this person is.” Which is just not impressive. “Taylor Swift? Who is that?” indicates you are living under a rock, not that you are cool. And aside from pewdiepie, asmongold is probably one of the youtube gamer names people know.
people know who Taylor Swift is tho
Imagine comparing Taylor Swift to asmongold lol
I’m proud of the fact I don’t know who that is and even more proud that I don’t care if anyone thinks that is not impressive. I hate that I learned who poodiepie is and have yet to meet any fans that weren’t mentally challenged. It is a waste of space in my brain and I would happily live under a rock if it meant I didn’t have to know about the existance of vapid, self-centered, so-called “youtube celebrities”. They add nothing to this world of any value and wouldn’t be missed.
https://socialblade.com/youtube/handle/asmontv says there’s over thousand youtube channels with more subscribers than him. He might well be large & influential in his niche, but it’s unlikely that people outaide his niche will know who he is. Do you think you’ve heard of 1,000 biggest youtubers whose channels aren’t about things you’re interested in?
Pewdiepie, by comparison, is the 12th most subscribed channel on youtube. I think you’re underestimating how much more famous that makes him with the general public.
I’ve had enough year of the linux desktop, can we put it away now please?

I hate his guts too and have mostly negative opinions on him, but check your accusations.
first of all it’s not an accusation, just facts. his twitch channel is just a Nazi hotspot full of misinformation.
second of all, you might wanna reassess rule 6 when it leads to y’all defending Nazis in the name of “defamation”. this is not a court of law, there’s no innocent until proven guilty in the public’s eye.
is this who you wanna bat for?
I’m not defending anyone. There’s enough drama in the F/LOSS space already. I’m trying to keep the community clean of inflammatory remarks that might get out of control while I’m asleep. I’ve seen your comment history – even if you’re stating “just facts”, your temper is going to be an issue.
You might well be right, but this is not a space to discuss politics. Find another community to air out your grievances and I might even join you in shitting on whoever needs shitting on.
Idk, Pewdiepie trend.

Sometimes it’s better when people don’t use Linux.
Assmonghould & his followers deserve everything not linux this world has to offer.
So that they can suffer more.
Appropriately far away from me such that I cannot smell them.
casually replies to self in agreement
i love my own opinions!
Casualty? What happened to the poor fella?
I don’t know this guy but I’d definitely watch Gardiner Bryant’s reaction to his video if he goes through with this ahah
Isn’t this guy a communist?
I can’t actually remember and I’m both curious and lazy
His followers are mostly rightwing and gobble up any comment he makes in that direction. I think he himself is a psychopath. And I mean that in the most generous way one could use that description. He doesn’t care about anything. Not himself and certainly not about other people. What little empathy he does have is learned.
Like when he called for the death of Palestinians I genuinely believe that he didn’t know why that’s bad. He learned that by backlash.
He does advocate for general basic income. So that would put him in the leftist corner. But he is quick to generate hate towards groups of people. That can mostly be seen in his comment section.
Generally he just says whatever will spark the most controversy and clicks/interactions.
That sounds like most people online
