I don't get this. I know the person on the left is the trans employee from Linus tech tips, and I saw in the comments who the person on the right is but I don't get this meme at all

This is a common meme that you either end up as trans or a right winger when you use Linux for a long time.

Not sure about the history, but [email protected] is one classic example and enough public figures like Luke or Brian Lunduke incorporate the other side.

Soo, I've been daily-driving Linux for 6 / 7 yrs, and occasionally using it since 2013... How much time do I have before I have to choose? Although, given my lack of self-organization, I probably should've already chosen but missed the message notifying me of an upcoming / missed deadline

Example № 1 here.

I love how you can see his right-winginess by just his website

podcast

Am I missing something? Are podcasts a partisan thing now?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Only in combination with the 2 above

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

At least I have seen countless podcasts with the only goal to shit out right wing content. And it's perfect for that. Be a nazi, get some other nazi to join you for an hour and talk pure shit about LGBTQ/Migrants etc. Nobody will stop you, and most people aren't willing to actually debunk a one hour stream of "arguments". If there even is a comment section.

You've consumed countless right wing podcasts?

Didn't know they?/she? was trans. That's awesome for them/her! :D

She came out about two years ago or so. Sadly no new videos with her moderating since then, as far as I know.

She goes by Emily now.

It's ok, we don't do the lmgtfy anynore. In the future there won't be a Google and all the links will be broken. If we didn't change, all the questions would be answered by "just Google it" even though Google will be gone.

I'm using duckduckgo so that is probably why it didn't appear for me, idk I searched "did emily young leave linus tech tips" and couldn't see the results.

I appreciate your google fu! Thank you! 👍

Dang. Must be the reason why I stopped watching. Even just behind the scenes she was invaluable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Right? She was the best!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Damn that sucks that theyve not been moderating since then...

She's probs the most knowledgeable seeming talking head on the team.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

She was pretty much the only one who pushed for Linux content afaik. So if she’s left LTT, that really sucks…

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

Super smart. Def had the most technical knowledge from the videos she was in. Nerd levels, but that's a good thing!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

I think she's actually left LMG, I either saw a YouTube video from her or am just imagining she uploaded one announcing she had left the company.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

There's a Floatplan exclusive from two months ago, and I think another one from a little further back. As for the other comments about her leaving LTT, I've heard those rumours as well but never managed to find any source for them, so not sure.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Oh shit I didn't realize they were trans
