I ignore his video and make a shitty joke about wishing he would use his right to repair to fix his channel.

For once the username actually reflects the intelligence of a user.

He’s doing gods work. I love his wit and I can’t believe he’s single handedly fighting for right to repair.

I don’t trust this grifter after he tried to rewrite the definition of open source.

Yeah he got so much publicity with his little NY shop hating on Apple. Which is amusing because those people Apple turned away were what made him. Not citing with Apple but I’ve never trusted this dude. Most of his “pioneering” in freedoms and rights all serve his own interests and he’s always grandstanding to bolster his popularity.

You don’t have to agree to someone in full or in none. There is no 0 or 1 here.

I don’t say I trust him, don’t even know him. Having said that, his videos are mostly well evidenced, and it is still super fun to see him blasting these companies.

He also repeats himself a lot. A lot. Keeps repeating himself which is why his videos are 2h. Because he just keeps repeating himself. A lot.

Just watch the first 5-10min and once you think you’ve heard something before, find something else to watch 🤷

Can you elaborate on that? I don’t really follow him that closely. I thought he was the guy that fights for right to repair.

Thanks for that. Almost all the software I use is open source, and honestly I don’t pay close enough attention to what the license is. I should probably read up on them, but I’m not profiting off them either and I try to contribute where I can.

Started watching him repair boards back in the day, enjoyed him going after companies to start with, and it’s just become exhausting now

I get where you’re coming from, however I reckon he’s doing a huge public service in this regard, imagine someone just happens to click on one of his vids and learns how scummy corpos are. That’s why I believe he should continue with these callouts, but yeah I’d like to see more actual repair stuff in future.

This guy is a fucking hero for calling out these companies’ bullshit practices like that. I don’t really care if there’s some misstep about the open source thing. The content that I’ve seen from him is still good in my opinion.

Fuck Adobe.
