      TBH I feel the same way when someone sends me a source that would take a good fraction of my day to check.

      Why don’t you put in a little bit of your own time to extract the relevant parts, and explain the surrounding context?

          That’s not really what I meant.

          To do this properly, OP would have to start with the relevant timestamp and a brief transcript. The context would then be, like, why this is being mentioned in that video and at that place in the video, even if it’s as simple as “this is a prominent Linux YouTuber talking about the drama a bit in passing”. Just so that it’s not quote mining from irrelevant people and places.

          (It’s worth noting that a guy I’ve never heard of being fashy isn’t really a crazy claim, anyway. I’m not going to make final judgements based on it, but then I wouldn’t ask for a source, either)

        “If you don’t occupy yourself for 5 hours with this thing I am forcing you to do, it means you’re a fascist or an apologist (implication: and I am therefore justified in potentially harassing you).”

        I think this person is just a violent control freak IMO but I could be wrong

          WTF I never said you must watch the video… OP answered they don’t even know who it is that’s perfectly reasonable. I I won’t pressure them into learning more about Lunduke. Nobody deserves that.

            Most people online are chomping at the bit to dox and therefore murder each other on extremely flimsy pretexts IMO. Every time I see any kind of accusation against a non-famous person that’s what it turns out to be.

      If you’re unable to explain something to a child, an old person, a stupid person, or an apathetic person, you don’t really know enough about the topic to be an authority.
