Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape'

some people in here are apparently perfect and don't believe others can grow and learn from their mistakes. what a childish self-centered perspective.

Funny how the comments in this thread went from "haha he's degoogling on YouTube?" to "do you believe in rehabilitation?" - "HE'S A NAZI!!!".

It truly feels like back in the good old Reddit days. You either get popcorn or your pitchfork. There's nothing in-between.

i don't really know if the linux community should be claiming the guy who casually drops the n word like he breathes air as our guy.

edit: JESUS FUCK y'all have too much time on your hands

YouTuber…Degoogling

Nobody tell him.

I love his new path in content. Seems like he grew up to be a positive influence in the ethical tech regard.

I am not a follower of his, but I am certainly an advocate for de-<insert mega tech company name here>ing having just finally rid myself of Micros**t, which was preceded by getting rid of almost all of the family streaming subs.

The Steamdeck is actually a great device for this simply because it is a very functional pc in desktop mode. Throw in a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with even a generic dock and it can rival most laptops, especially with the added video capabilities it already has.

I find myself using it as a pc almost as much as a gaming device, just because it works so well for both.

Pretty interesting usage of his Steam Deck. I feel like it was overkill lol. But as he said, sometimes it's cool to just use what you have.

If he’s “going all in on deGoogling”, perhaps he should be using a Youtube alternative?

Any idea of this guy made any significant impact when he installed Linux recently?

This thread is killing me. I'm really tired of how open-source people and gamers are so quick to forgive and move on, all under the veil of we don't care about politics. Well, how fucking lucky for you then! What, do you think the people who care are having autistic hyper-fixations on politics? Is that it? Like, I don't have less depressing hyper-fixations to have, maybe? Well, I'm glad to see that it's all working out great for you! Now, if you could stop looking at yourself for a minute, that would be great!

Fuck. Bigots.

We should not allow them in our spaces like that. We should not welcome them with open arms because they have lots of subscribers and it gives us exposure! We have enough far-right dipshit in our communities as is.

Oooh, but what about redemption?! What about rehabilitation?!

Listen people, I grew up in a far-right home. I was a far-right dipshit for a long time because of that. But the difference is, I haven't been called out for paying some guys to write some heinous antisemitism on a sign, after I've been called out for dog whistling to Nazis in an apology, after I've been called out for shouting out a Nazi in a video about channels, my name wasn't dropped live by a Nazi shooter, and I certainly didn't invite fucking Ben Shapiro on my program to review memes to my millions and millions of followers!

Come on! We're not talking about a guy who said something cringe on Twitter 12 years ago here. It's not about believing that we're perfect and being self-centered, as I have read in this thread. It's about having some fucking standards. I am forgiving. I know that people can change. But there are fucking limits as to what I'm willing to accept.

This is so tiring.

"Degoogle!"
~ Someone on YouTube, a platform owned by Google

On the Steam Deck there is Google too, there is the sponsored Chrome install and cloud saves uses Google servers

maybe this might revive Pewdiepie grow again???

What a roll model.

Im obviously misunderstanding what they mean by "note taking" app, right?
