   FYI, I staunchly disagree with Bryan Lunduke's general views.

   However, I also don't think anyone should be discriminated against on account of ethnicity or religion.

     @hankg BL was always a shouty controversy-seeker. He's an alt-truther now as well? Ok.
     
     I went from zero to negative interest when he went on anti-wokism tirades against Mozilla, as if wokism were, even if I agreed with diversity programs being a bad thing which I don't, in any way the greatest concern with the directions they're going.

     @atomicpoet @chronrevisited I was a regular follower of his YouTube channel until 2020 broke his brain (maybe it was always broken but he hid it better) with COVID denialism/conspiracy theory nonsense, cancel culture pearl clutching, and anti-LGBT stances. I get enough alt-os and computer history content from elsewhere, including your awesome blog.

     @atomicpoet @hankg Oh, certainly one should always investigate allegations of this nature. I was just speaking for myself, and I certainly have no dog in this fight.

     @atomicpoet @chronrevisited Since these aren't anonymous allegations, the person making them is known to the community, and that person supposedly has receipts I'm hoping that people will take investigating it seriously. I wouldn't take anything Lunduke says at face value at this point but the good news is in this case we have enough information to properly investigate it.

     @atomicpoet The problem is that he doesn’t have any credibility with me, so why would I believe him now?

     @Adderbox76 He alleges that SuSE discriminated against him on account of him being Jewish.

     Meanwhile, Lunduke also went off the right-wing deep end as well.

     @atomicpoet I haven't followed Lunduke since my very early days of Linux. And I don't generally keep up with Suse news. What am I missing?

     @clacke @atomicpoet @hankg In the case of promoting Linux and FOSS it's especially self-defeating to launch these "anti-woke" crusades. It's not like we should be turning people away!

     @atomicpoet I imagine at best you'd get a he said, she said situation because his claimed documentation doesn't show what he says that it did. Hopefully the other people mentioned who experienced similar things step forward as well. OpenSUSE has a CoC and SUSE has a DEI group so I would imagine these sorts of things wouldn't be taken lightly if they have any enforcement of these things.

     @hankg If he's lying, then SuSE should sue him.

     @atomicpoet Crap I thought he was breaking a story about someone who had been discriminated against by SUSE for being Jewish. I didn't realize that this was autobiographical. It should still be looked into and investigated that the receipts are real and SUSE address it if they are.
