From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

De-arrow is a godsend for these thumbnails.
That being said, I set a "Don't recommend channel" on Brodie Robertson because he took part in harassing a developer about some barely nsfw furry art being hidden in some software but refuses to block Nazis from his mastodon profile. It seemed like a double standard that demonstrated tolerance for said Nazis.
Fuck Nazis. Raw. With a rusty iron cactus. Dry. In the ass.
If that's what gets you going :s
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Can you elaborate on what software and developer? That's funny af. Harassing someone for it is really stupid
Its trickier to piece together what happened now but if you search "thorium browser furry", you'll probably find a few posts about it. There was a hell of a lot of misinfo including about it being CP for some reason when iirc it was just an anthropomorphic dog with the camera facing upwards towards them wearing panties or something like that.
So I did some digging, and it actually goes a little deeper than just a furry image. There was some anti-circumcision stuff on the developers site it seems, not in the browser itself. Apparently they weren't even linked. They were all removed with a single commit. I took a look on the commit history, and there were some pictures of circumcised penises. Including some extremely botched ones, some belonging to babies. I didn't take a look at all of them, but once I did are hardly labelable as CP. If anything, they're educational content. Wikipedia contains some similar pictures as well, you can't label Wikipedia as a CP website for those either, can you? They were running a campaign against circumcision, as one should. It's unethical genital mutilation (speaking as someone who was circumcised). Labeling this anti-circumcision stuff as CP is really stupid imo. Fuck circumcision. And imo harassing someone for this is even worse than sneaking a furry pic in a browser.
You can take a look into the commit here if you want too
Agreed. Circumcision is fucked up.
~~Circumcision~~ Genital mutilation
Fixed that for you
This tells me enough about a person to dissociate completely from anything they say or make.
That techlore guy just confused furry art with CSAM and dropped that in a video as if it was nothing.
Chris Titus did a really stupid video about that too.
I dont remember Brodie actively harassing them. But of course that whole thing was not nice.
Chris Titus convinced Brodie not to make a video on it after Brodie took an active role and Chrisb took a passive role in the dogpile on Twitter.
Just installed that extension in Firefox and instantly recognized the difference. Thanks so much!
He has a great content though. Some of his takes are a bit strange, but he didnt cross the line yet for me.
What does "block nazis on his profile" mean, like block comments?
@CatTrickery @perishthethought do you have any proof of what you assert ?
Whoa - Hey, I am not asserting anything here about the vlogger. I just don't like the image they used for the video. I don't know anything about this channel.
@perishthethought sorry for mentioning you too 🙇
I was answering to @CatTrickery regarding his message asserting that Brodie “harassed people but did not block nazis” (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/6985902)
All good. Just making sure that's clear. Cheers,
