Unless you go all the way with privacy, it doesn't mean anything. Don't call it privacy!

Why the fuck are we still listening/watching this fucknut?

He has a very large audience of regular people so if he promotes Linux, free software and privacy then this is a very good thing. The community wants adoption but as soon as regular people try their hand at it there is always something to complain about. We'll never get anywhere with behaviour like this. Wider adaption means that many people you don't like will participate as well. I haven't seen this video though so I don't know if he does a good job or not.

100% agree on the adoption angle. The "all or nothing" mindset actually scares newcomers away from even trying. Privacy is a spectrum, and every small step someone takes (even if imperfect) is still better than doing nothng at all. Most people start with baby steps before diving deeper.

No press is bad press, is that it? I, for one, prefer to see the bigger picture: don't handwave the bullshit for quick returns. That's how we got here in the first fucking place.
