    This just reminds me of how Hitler stole and used the Buddhist symbol for his whole Nazi regime. This guy has nothing to do with Linux, but because it’s him, people are now all of the sudden willing to listen. The fuck?

      I don’t understand your comparison; how does the misappropriation of a symbol equate to one using their popularity to increase awareness of a subject?

    Really wish, Drew Gooden or Danny Gonzalez try Linux. They have been very openly critical of bog tech and AI for a while. But unlike pewds I’m sure they would call out a lot of cons cause they seem more relatable to normal people than pwd who calls everyone a normie.
