   It's finally the day. I've worked on this video for a month. Countless hours went into it. I can't wait for y'all to see it.

   It premieres today, 10pm UTC, or 4pm Central. On Youtube. I would love to have you there, it's going to be a wild trip.

     @popey @simon that could be true. I reflected a lot on that, and eventually I think my video can have a positive overall effect. I'm actually seeing too many people I know that are not fully aware of how toxic Lunduke is, whilst - given my audience and the video content - I don't think anyone watching the video will want to have anything to do with him. Thus, I believe I had to point out, loudly, about not just his political issues but also how he misleads and makes data up. I might be wrong

     @niccolove @popey @simon FWIW I don't follow Lunduke but knew of him and was completely unaware. While I do think this video took it's time a little too much in getting to the point, it was informative, at least to me.

     @simon oooh. I'm not using that as a meme. The video is about him. You can get it from the title, as "Linux Sucks" is his show, and my video is called ""Linux Sucks" sucks", so I'm evidently criticizing him.

     @niccolove @simon Still giving him the oxygen of publicity. As someone who is very aware of his constant grifts, public anti-trans behaviour and other problematic issues, this is completely unwise on your behalf.

     @niccolove lunduke is a very toxic divisive character and any mention of him, his memes, or his image should be discouraged. it really doesn't sit well with the KDE COC https://kde.org/code-of-conduct/

     @popey he is being given the oxygen of publicity the last few months already in other channels. In the last few months he went from a solo show in some "weird" corners of the Internet, to show up on some tech podcasts/yt channels.

     recently he seems to be trying to rehabilitate his image (after years underground), with this: journalist persona that: "investigates tech companies spending", etc.

     At least there is an educational video about who he is.

     @mkljczk that sort of things tend to happen when you mention that someone is an antivax
