Wow, that reviewer is an idiot. Who tf complains about default keybindings that can easily be changed?

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 months ago

Lunduke is a top tier moron

[-] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

Can you change the fact that you first have to hit a key combo to activate all other key combos?
Cause that is a hard no for me in any software.
Even on a laptop keyboard, you have 9 function keys and 77 others available. That's 702 possible combos without even getting into any weird 3-key-stuff. More than anyone could ever remember or use.

[-] drhoopoe 5 points 2 months ago

I don't think so, no. And I agree on that point actually, but people who are used to tmux or screen, which seems to be the target audience, would presumably be fine with it.

[-] pmjv 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, you can bind any ratpoison action, function or external program to anything you want without needing to use the prefix key.

Rats don't like rat poison. Can't blame them. And it's not a Desktop Environment. This guy is out if the loop.

I like Lunduke. He's calling out many of the hypocrisies of Free Software activists and the IT corpos.

I hope this is a swing and miss at satire, but honestly I can't tell.

[-] kakafarm 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No. I am sorry you feel that way.

[-] Elucidating@mastodon.social 2 points 3 months ago

@kakafarm @paperd So are you a nazi-adjacent monster who likes him *because* of his bigotry and vitriol, or is that just a big bonus for you?

[-] kakafarm 0 points 3 months ago

The West had replaced one set of bigots in positions of power with another. It is now taboo even suggesting these bigots' existence, but Lunduke does, and that is why I like him.

[-] Elucidating@mastodon.social 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

@kakafarm I think it's really clear that you don't understand what the word bigotry means, but you like the gravitas of saying it. That's embarrassing.

For example, it's not bigotry to point out ethnostates don't have any sound moral basis for existence.

Personally I think we should just ignore him, every mention gives him the possibility to spread his hateful message. He's spineless, let him wriggle in obscurity.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I thought you guys made up a person to satirize Linux reviewers. I did not know this person was real until I looked him up. Didn't go much futhur than checking out his name existing tho.

[-] paperd@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago

Nope, certainly a real and hateful person. He used to be cohost of the Linux Action Show, marketing manager at SuSe for a bit, and was popular for a series of talks called "Linux Sucks." Somewhere in or around the beginning of the pandemic he went down the right wing rabbit hole. He is totally useless now, he's a transphobic as fuck, and generally just has a hateful message about most things.

He religiously monitors his name, wouldn't be surprised if he see this. If he is reading this: man, you just make me sad now. Please get help.

[-] pmjv 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Are you saying he might actually be here? Shit, I wish I was wearing my good tie. You know, the one with fish?

Rat killers are people too.. with real feelings, Bryan :(

[-] paperd@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

he's def. found other fedi things that had his name in it.

[-] emr 7 points 3 months ago

I lost all respect for his technical taste when he confessed that his daily driver is FreeDOS. I know linux folks skew at least a little contrarian but at that point I don't think we're speaking the same language of computing and there's not much I can learn from ya. Not super surprised to hear he went way overboard contrarian in other ways I guess.

[-] paperd@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

"Technical taste" is the wrong angle here, and I see this a lot in FOSS. No amount of "good" or "great" technicality makes up for the fact that his personal views are abhorrent.

The first question we should ask is "are they a decent person" and the answer here is a hard no, so technical taste doesn't even matter.

[-] emr 1 points 2 months ago

I guess what I'm trying to say is that his contrarian personal views and his contrarian technical views are both expressions of some underlying contrarian-ness. Not that we shouldn't be asking if he's a decent person, just that I'm not super surprised to find out he's gone mask off weirdo.

[-] paperd@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

"Contrarian" is too nice a label.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Wait, daily driving FREEDOS!? I could see that happening in like 2007, but even after 2011???

Don't get me wrong, I have used FreeDOS on occasion to play old sierra games on a modern computer bare metal edition, but holy shit, I can't imagine DAILY DRIVING IT!!
