I used to work on an SMT line, and pin in paste was the bane of my fucking existence. The parts (mainly connectors) were rarely within tolerance, and a leg or two would consistently miss their holes, if not outright rejected by the inserter.

I'm not defending anyone. There's enough drama in the F/LOSS space already. I'm trying to keep the community clean of inflammatory remarks that might get out of control while I'm asleep. I've seen your comment history -- even if you're stating "just facts", your temper is going to be an issue.
You might well be right, but this is not a space to discuss politics. Find another community to air out your grievances and I might even join you in shitting on whoever needs shitting on.
Could be, I have no idea. I'm Hungarian (not a fact I like to advertise), and in my language, "néger" is the correct word. It's not considered vulgar because the word simply doesn't have the same historical context. The variant with two "g"s is still no-no. We also have a popular hard candy called "Negró", so named because of its black color.
Wrong again. I was comparing Pewdiepie's video about Linux to LTT's Linux challenge. Felix has shown a considerable understanding of Linux and relevant components that many "tech" entertainers (least of all Linus of LTT) don't.
I was there with KSP from the early days. Squad was not in the video game business, they were a billboard advertisement company. The lead dev HarvesteR started it as a passion project. It found success with the alpha and full release in 2015.
Then in 2017 Take-Two bought the rights to the game. Squad kept working on the original, but development of the sequel was handed off to Star Theory with Private Division publishing. The game was delayed, then development was moved to a new studio, Intercept Games, which was owned by Take-Two. They also poached a third of Star Theory's personnel, which resulted in the studio's death. They fucked around for a few years, released the early access version, then sold Private Division, closed Intercept Games, and abandoned the game.
In short: corporate interests. KSP2's failure had nothing to do with KSP or its developers.
His peak of popularity was in a different era of societal awareness. His humor had an edge that was often crude and immature 15 years ago and unacceptable today, culminating in him dropping the N bomb during a livestream several years ago, and even after apologies, people just can't let go and are still trying to crucify him.
Some others are simply hating on him because he has opinions that don't fully align with theirs. Others, simply for being popular.
Personally I don't feel one way or the other about him, but the video is worth watching. He shows a deep understanding of the system and its components, and more expertise than Linus "Yes, do as I say!" Sebastian presented.
The person who decided that the case ... of statement in Bash should use unpaired right parentheses has found a soulmate and/or a mortal nemesis in abandoned-quiche.
Stop worrying about the country of origin. It's a FOSS project. The vast majority of Pop's components are developed independently of the company, and by citizens of various nations. Applying the "USA bad, so product bad" rhetoric is a seriously shortsighted approach. Consider instead the amount of influence exerted by the company. Does Ubuntu still seem like the better choice just because the company is headquartered in the UK?
Besides, if you really want to cut American software out of your life, start with Linux and GNU. Torvalds was born in Finland, but he is a naturalized US citizen, and Linux is developed on American infrastructure and includes significant amount of work from American developers.
You can say whatever you want about whoever you want, but this is not the place to litigate those issues. This is "Linux Memes", not "Linux Circlejerk". Have your Spicy Hot Takes somewhere else.
If you have an issue with a post because it's about or was made by a person you disagree with, kindly downvote and move on. Throwing a tantrum will never be productive.
The VHS was a bastard on an entirely different level. My cousin lost his The Empire Strikes Back tape because a roller got stuck and the tape got twisted around the reader head.
