I asked my roommate who that guy is. Showed me a 4 minute clip of rambling. Now I have brain cancer.
-
It is really a shame. His old stuff, wich you can find on YouTube was really good.
-

His YT comment section is an experience. They're breeding a unique kind of right-wing, tinfoil hat Linux extremist, whose software usage is determined solely by esoteric association and "suspicious timing" like seeing widespread adoption during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The phoronix comment section is a garden of rationality and level-headed thinking in comparison.

The phoronix comment section is a garden of rationality and level-headed thinking in comparison.
Any time Rust is brought up in Phoronix, half of the comments are bad-faith idiots making strawmen and whataboutism arguments amounting to "skill issue, C is 300% safe and nobody needs better" and thinly-veiled contrarian antagonism against Rust because it's popular.
A comment section worse than that? Impressive.
-
The more I scrolled through the comments, the more I longed for the familiar comfort of the braindead phoronix forums. It's one thing to be convinced that C is the peak of programming language design (sometimes without having ever written a productive line of code), but it's another thing entirely to be convinced that Rust is some sort of figurative (or even literal) trojan horse pushed by a global woke conspiracy and/or connected to the "planned release" of COVID-19.

I watched a video of his a few years ago, and thought "interesting take". Then I saw another video of his recently and thought "this guy's nuts. Prob a flat earther too"
-
Oh hey, the Jordan Peterson experience!

Pretty much. It seems to be the way a lot of these grifters go.
Even Tucker Carlson. I'm Canadian, so I knew nothing about Carlson when I first saw some clips about him (like 8 years ago now). And in those clips he said some innocuous and fairly reasonable things. Then YouTube's algorithm did what it does best (you watch one new type of video and then that's all it shows you for recommendations) and then I started to see the "real" Tucker Carlson and was grossed out.
Seems to be a common formula.

That's how we all met Lunduke.
-
Some stuff is interesting but the rest are just annoying hot takes that nobody asked for. He's always complaining. Dividing a fragile open source community
-
-
Let me guess, Rust is too woke? "It's being pushed onto users and not adopted naturally'?
Would fit Lunduke well.
-
He hates Rust too? What doesn't he hate now?
-
Trump?
-
Probably likes ladybird browser

-
What are his arguments against Rust? It’s not vulnerable enough to memory-based attacks?
-
"Too politicial" apparently. At least that's what he said in the 4 minute snippet I managed to endure.
-
And by his definition too political means any community saying gay and trans people are normal humans and should be allowed to exist.
-
-
Not wanting to maintain a multi-language repo, and not wanting to maintain support for rust integration
Edit: I kinda assumed the guy in the pic was that kernel maintainer who kept throwing a stink about Rust code, but it's apparently not
-
He referenced how self hosted compilers can have malicious code as part of their binary file and how it would be impossible to detect once a backdoor had been introducedin some version.
He argues since rust people are "too political" and "actively harm non-rustaceans", he doesn't trust the software built by them as he is a conservative.
This is from his video title "can we trust rust?"

Why does Vince Gilligan care about Rust in Linux? Shouldn't he be focusing on Pluribus?
-
Isn't Gilligan on an isle?

Fixed:

While I respect Marc Maron's work, why does he care what I'm using?
