Can I get a link to the Jeff Geerling stuff?

[-] nagaram@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago

A lot of his posts have been pulled from his blog so he at least doesn't want people to know his thoughts anymore, but he's never apologized.

He is a devout Catholic so assuming he has church aligned takes isn't a bad call.

Well, the Jeff Geerling stuff is disappointing. I watched him only occasionally when some video title interested me, but I don't think I can watch the videos (and so indirectly support him) in good conscience.

The fact he didn't apologise is telling, especially in the context of his replies:

But as you may witness in the discourse surrounding these posts, modern social media discourse leads to a lack of charity and understanding.

The idea of one-upping someone online, ratioing someone's post, or getting quick wins through rage-bait is antithetical to what builds a just, loving, and charitable society. I see it tear apart many online communities. The only winning move is not to play.

This is a pretty old article on the site, and I'm guessing by the title (haven't read through it) it would not be deemed 'culturally appropriate' these days.

Opinions on Rape/Abortion

One must understand, as I have come to understand, that abortion is evil

Holy Christ Crackers, Batman.

The fact that he's never repudiated this shit, and apologized for the harm he did, makes you heavily believe that he suppressed this stuff for his own financial and business interests, not because of an earnest change of heart.

I was never a Geerling guy, I watched a video or two at random just because I liked the Raspberry Pi before the pricing on it went loony toons, but Geerling now has the auspicious place of being a channel I actively go out of my way to avoid.

He commented 17 years later, and did not even try to backtrack a little bit or give any further nuance... Damn, this is disappointing.

That reply screams to me "I made this post when people werent able to share information so freely and so easily attack me, but now it spreads like wildfire and thats just not fair to me and my bigoted beliefs, why can no one give me the same charity I give those child murdering sluts who have abortions?!"
