I only knew Lunduke from his Linux sucks series and was surprised to see him on this list. so I did a quick search and found lunduke keeps his own 'software politics tracker' which of course does not track all politics, but just "woke", "leftist" and "dei".

Apparently Gnome just celebrating trans day of inclusion is a bad thing. Ugh. Wish I'd never given that guy my time and attention.

according to him, the Linux foundation also 'pledged fealty to the UN'. wtf even is that supposed to mean? is this common conspiracy shit or is he completely off his rocker?

I've never used any suckless software, but it kind of sucks seeing them on here. I liked the Idea of their software philosophy, even if it wasn't for me.

(Edit: I forgot a word in that sentence lol)

Damn, I didn't know ThePrimeagen was also a weard little freak. I didn't watch his videos often tho.

I'm so glad to see homophobic catholic extremist Jeff Geerling made the cut. I resent that I followed him for years without knowing how much hate he holds in his heart for me.

Also glad Louis Rossmann is getting his due callout here. He definitely does a lot of good but he does and says some truly inexcusable shit.

hey motherfuckers, if you’re going to come at devault in this thread for doing the work, have something better than this weak fash shit, thanks

The weirdness is much less visible in Primeagen's content nowadays (albeit I've almost completely stopped watching it so maybe it's now getting more overt?), I'm not overly surprised devault has nothing concrete to point at - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he has scrubbed the more egregious things from his youtube channel.

It's never been big attention-grabbing things but more a certain level of crypto-fashy offhanded remarks and general vibes - been brought up in the weekly snarks a few months back.

The biggest recent criticism I could make is having DHH on fire over an hour with allegedly no pushback on how terrible his "distro" is given how much primagen supposedly prides himself on his technical prowess. Then again, he's not using omarchy himself so what does he care if the rubes in his audience get duped into trashing their machines?

It sucks when you see someone that you thought was doing good work turn out to be a weirdo

Rossmann's shitty YouTube comment (linked to from this list) seems to expose his insecurities about gender and obesity and how he externalizes those insecurities to judge others.

Oh damn, that's a good list of open source weirdos, most of them unsurprisingly white dudes...It really sucks that there's so many creeps in open source. I was surprised by The Primogen associations, Louis Rossmann is a guy I kinda suspected of being not good. Welp, two more people to cut out of my YouTube watching.

Friiiick, the ladybird dev? I've been keeping the project in the back of my mind until it's ready for daily use. I was so pumped for an open browser

there's a few names i'd probably add; one is peter simon, known as probono, the appimage maintainer, a professional wayland hater (he's maintaining a ginormous gist that lists the failures of wayland, most of which is not true, not true anymore or at least grossly exaggerated).

Hey, I know that art from somewhere...
