    This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.

    Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)

    Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago…

    I haven’t kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?

    Ppl focusing on the negative. It’s just his subjective list. He doesn’t claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys

    I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.

    It makes a lot of sense for someone like him to promote brave tbh

        I don’t mean this in a mean way, honestly curious – fascist how? As far as I know he made a couple of distasteful jokes a decade ago and apologized for it. Not great but we should stop using words like fascist and Nazi unless we can back it up.

    Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.

    Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.

    I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.

    Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.


    Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.

    Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)

    That’s a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it’s really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.

    Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn’t fully watched the video so maybe I’m wrong and he made a big disclaimer)

      If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.

      Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS
