Except Linus is using Claude.

I wouldn’t ve surprised if this was generated by Claude.

Why yes, let us compare corporate, proprietary, closed-source tools that inherently rely on environmental destruction, breaking licenses, and intellectual property theft in general, to basic, completely free and open source programming tools that have been in use for 50 years, and harmed nobody during their development.

Of course this guy does all his work on a MacBook. Because of course he does.

I’ve usually been with him, because he’s very knowledgeable, and quite often his takes only seem ridiculous out of context.

But this is borderline corporate propaganda. If it continues, I’m afraid we’ll all be moving to BSD.

Don’t have to be a math genius to say no to the literal smallest number. At least give me 2.

Don’t forget it’s actually beneficial for the colonized, because now their land produces 100x more goods.

(They’re getting none of that and are starving to death)

Have you even read the website you’re linking?

I went through it, and there’s nothing of note there. It basically boils down to somebody calling a bunch of people weirdos, with some arbitrary claims, and links to irrelevant, even contradictory information.

On August 3rd, 2026, Louis posted a video about openly transgender Colorado state representative Brianna Titone, and in the YouTube comments posted a remark explaining his position on transgender issues, which can be paraphrased as “I think transgender women are men but I’m willing to overlook it if we have common cause”.

The ‘source’ provided here only links to the video. Good luck reading all the 423 comments, and figuring out which one is him saying anything close to that paraphrased statement.

They’re also calling Louis a weirdo for being an associate of Eron Wolf. And if you go to Eron Wolf’s entry, he’s a weirdo, because… he’s an associate of Louis Rossmann. Yeah, that’s makes perfect sense.

Eron is the modestly wealthy founder of FUTO, an organization that funds software projects. He doesn’t like the Open Source Definition (…)

This is one of the few technically accurate claims on the page, but it’s manipulative. The relevant part of FULU’s statement is:

Our use of the term “open source” thus far has been not out of carelessness, but out of disdain for OSI approved licenses which nevertheless allow developers to be exploited by large corporate interests. The OSI, an organization with confidential charter members and large corporate sponsors, does not have any legal right to say what is and is not “open source”. It is arrogant of them to lay claim to the definition.

I think it’s perfectly reasonable.

I’m guessing the website author is hoping you won’t actually click any of the links, because none of them support their claims or the points they’re trying to make.

I’d say this just looks like a billionaire-funded smear campaign.

I’d say this is by far the biggest issue with EVs. Well, not necessarily with EVs, but with new cars in general, most of which happen to be EVs, and their share will only continue growing.

Sure, it’s a nice car, somewhat better for the environment, pretty cool. But it’s also a giant surveillance device that gathers more information on you than your smartphone, smart tv, and computer combined.

And it has a kill switch, too. If the government being able to remotely shut down your car wasn’t bad enough - this research shows that virtually any hacker may be able to do so as well.

The two bricks are besties and do everything together.

When you thought Netanyahu is the problem, but then check other Israeli political parties, and turns out he’s among the least extreme. And has better approval ratings than Hitler had towards the end of the war.

Even Gadi Eisenkot - Israel’s most likely next prime minister, whose party is apparently centrist - says any plans of a two-state solution are, quote, ‘delusions’, and openly supports the so-called settlers.

The more you learn about Israel, the better you’ll see there’s no hope for it.

ignoring climate change

More like being responsible for two thirds of all climate change, and ensuring nobody else can do anything about it.

Surely that’s enough to warrant an investigation and billions of dollars in fines. Surely…?

It’s not just Poland, but like half of the EU. Not due to faults of their own, for the most part, but as usual due to the US Empire forcing weaker countries to do its bidding, and meddling in their elections.

Poland’s current president is an obvious American asset. Whether he works or worked directly with the US or not - he has clearly demonstrated that his loyalties lie with Washington. Just like the previous president, and the one before him, and so on.

Most of the government remains very much pro-US, and pro-Israel as well, both of which are closely tied. Government officials, like the current prime minister, may publicly criticize the US, but then go back to discussing terms favourable for the US or sanctioning Chinese companies at Washington’s request behind closed doors.

The Polish government still continues to buy American-made military equipment.

Just last week prime minister Tusk publicly defended the terrorists who bombed the Nordstream pipeline, echoing both Trump’s and Biden’s rhetoric.

Last year he invited Netanyahu to Poland, completely disregarding the ICC warrant for his arrest. Just as the US was putting sanctions on the ICC for said warrant.

All major Polish companies are being purchased by American corporations, putting the entire Polish economy at serious risk in an event of a conflict between the EU and the US. The government introduced legislation to protect Polish companies from being acquired by foreign ones, but it conveniently ignores any transactions with American companies. In addition to all EU countries, which makes sense, and some more questionable ones such as Israel, Australia, or the UK.

The list goes on and on. A lot of what the current one, as well as previous governments do tends to benefit Washington disproportionately more than it does the EU or even Poland itself.

Not to mention it still appears so lost in its American delusions that it seriously thinks the US will do anything to aid Poland in case of a Russian attack.

100% agree and support your determination. Unfortunately, however, it’s not gonna happen.

Currently, Microsoft (and other companies, but mainly Microsoft in Poland) offers schools and universities discounted Windows licenses, as well as very cheap or straight up free Microsoft 365 packages for all students. It comes with 24/7 technical support, which education facilities desperately need, since staff is tech illiterate and they can’t (or can, but won’t) afford IT departments.

Furthermore, Poland is an American puppet state, and won’t make any decision that substantially hampers American interests. As we’ve been shown many times over, even in just the last two years.

It’s so obvious that children and students, especially university students in tech fields, should work mostly with FOSS, unless a FOSS option is unavailable (very rare cases). Not only would they get more meaningful knowledge and skills, but the country would reduce its dependence on the US Empire as well. If only governments ever did the obvious good thing.

It used to be the same with x86 computers, but over time a standardized interface was developed.

ARM is already getting something similar, but most companies aren’t interested, precisely because they’re perfectly fine with the restrictions.

Everything x86 is legacy hardware, but Intel and AMD abused their duopoly to make sure it’s nearly mandatory to use. Profits over progress.

TIL China has lower suicide rates than nearly all other developed countries. Honestly thought they’d be higher.

Got me there

Be careful not to swallow your spit. They may think you’re swallowing a bomb and shoot you on the spot.

Name one thing that can’t land you in prison in the US. I’ll wait.

Looking at what is blocked, it just looks like someone very much aligned with the government came up with the list.

Palworld existing and doing well is directly beneficial for Pokemon fans, because it may lead to better Pokemon games. Probably not good games, because this is still Nintendo, but an upgrade is an upgrade.
