I don't trust Bryan Lunduke as a source. He fell into QAnon conspiracy-type stuff and MAGA politics. Not a sign of good judgment.

I knew he was a shithead, but I didn't realise how much of one.

Videos suck for topics like this. I'm not about to watch a video that should just be an article.

1 minute in, the video stops and requests that we log in...

Give us your data so we can tell you how Firefox is taking your date…

Ok, but why is this Website/Rumble so bad? I just want to see the comments but have to log in to do anything, wtf

Not going to watch a video. I am gathering from comments on the youtube video that he is taking about telemetry data. You can check out e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-telemetry.

I typically opt out of telemetry data these days, having been burned a few times.

How have you been burned? In any practical way?

This Lundluke got seems to be some kind of Qanon person.

@jeena @freeguru He really is. He was once a vaguely sane FOSS industry commentator. Then he lost/left his job, and had to monetise his blog & channel. Result: 90% of it is frothing hatred and insanity.
