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.

In case you're wondering why this post is being downvoted. Your title says nothing about what the video is about. You don't add any context or information of your own. This makes it look like some cheap clickbait to boost a YouTube channel.

That makes sense, She just randomly got recommended in my feed and her way of explaining things was enthusiastic so thought of sharing it here with the community, not affiliated with the channel or her in any way.

You are able to edit titles on Lemmy, if you'd like.

So sad to have this downvoted, the video is great

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (3 children)

She shared far right stuff during the pandemic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Which changes nothing. This is not a political video

I'm personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Why not? "We should exterminate all non-whites" seems like a pretty good reason to dismiss a person.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I'd argue that it's all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won't dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is that what she said?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The conversation moved on from that old fart to a broader point of not dismissing a person on behalf of their political views.

I gave an example of a view which is ground for such dismissal so your question is wrong because it isn't about that specific women anymore.

And they say Linux is not user friendly

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

she has a pretty unique presentation method for the camera ive not seen others do. not bad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Very chill. But this screams "dont theme my Apps/OS/Icons" so much.

Vanilla GNOME 43 on Debian 12 looks gorgeous, this looks like from 2005

Why do we need to separate somebodies core beliefs from the person?

That is the person. What they do and what they believe makes them who they are. I hate this "please just ignore this massive section of what makes up a person" trend. Sure though, you can still like this video separating creator from content, but if somebody does something terrible it's ok to no longer like that person as shown here with "I love them" followed by "I now understand more about this person and no longer love them"

@sorrybookbroke
Welcome to authoritarianism! In politics, beliefs often change over time, and often isn't a “core” belief as you state. Life experiences help with this change in so-called core beliefs. Belief is fluid.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Authoritarianism is when you judge people by their actions and beliefs, today I learned.

I'm sorry, that's incredibly funny. I love lemmy all the weirdos come out to say the wildest shit.

Sure, their core beliefs can change, as can my opinion of them when this happens.

To clarify. Authoritarianism is the belief that a singular authority should hold strong control over a system often meaning those who act against it or disagree should face punishment output by said system. I dislike people who agree with that idea, but if they change their opinion mine may too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

They're from Mastodon, even wilder things happen there.

It's not a problem to hate the far right.

Also I understand if people get uncomfortable if you say "I love..." what might be a nazi (not saying she is, because i don't care to do more research)

(also don't you think it's a little bit silly to complain about seperating politics from person if you literally have your hyper specific affliction in your bio?)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wdym these days? Would you sit at the table with a neo nazi? Thought not. I wouldn't sit at the table with someone who's undoing years of scientific progress in eradicating deadly diseases.

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted
