Wow, that guy is an absolute putz. Like, postmarketOS literally tells you that their shit is not ready for prime time and to be ready for it to be a little bit wonky right now. And this guy is acting like they're advertising it as it is ready for Freddy and it's just garbage or something. Not to mention the way he installed it was just stupid. My 8-year-old niece could do this better than he did.

I think I'll find a video made by somebody more competent.

He's a comedian. His videos aren't meant to be taken seriously.

Comedians really need to stop using that line to justify being putzes, as it ignores the fact that they have a very real influence on people's perceptions, and therefore the decisions they make and the overall trajectory of society.

Every media personality needs to recognize this responsibility, regardless of whether or not their content is intended to be "serious."

"It's just a joke, bro." Yeah, well your "joke" is actively harming the development and adoption of one of our only potential ways out of this duopoly of walled gardens.

The channel description says

SAMTIME is probably the only channel on the internet not smelling the farts of the big tech companies! From Apple to Samsung, Huawei to OnePlus, we make fun of everyone and tell it like it is (aaand maybe exaggerate just a little if it's funny).

and that seems about right from the handful of videos I've watched. He spends a lot more time mocking big tech firms than poking fun at Linux.

If his intention is to mock big tech, then mocking linux and the only viable alternatives to big tech is kinda misplaced.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The intention is to mock everything in tech. He mostly mocks big tech, but nothing is immune.

Is that why Resonosity posted it as a hyperlink questioning whether it's the best option we have at the moment?
