He’s very edgy, I don’t like his content. If I want someone to talk about tech, I’d rather they just talk about tech and not make wojack thumbnails and constantly making fun of politics.

I spent so much of my time in the Gentoo community fixing things that have gone wrong through newbies taking his advice as gospel. I’d be happy if he never made another video, and that’s outside of, well, everything else.

His political stance is garbage but has some usefull videos llike degoogling lineageos

I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he’s got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.

Love his content, he is quite entertaining, even when just doing a cooking video, has some good takes and some bad takes but who doesnt at this point.

Tech content is passable, wish he’d stick to that. Been losing points with politics, cheap merch and lazying out with what basically amounts to reaction videos.

Any other recommendations for tech content? Seytonic and The new oil are nice.

I like his content, he covers open source tech pretty well imo. I don’t agree with his opinions on guns, but I live in a country where any sort of weapons are pretty hard to get and violent crimes are very low. I won’t understand the fear/anxiety of Americans living in open carry states, so take this opinion how you will. I don’t really have any opinion on anyone’s political opinions, including his. I do think it’s cool how he has a chicken farm, a step towards self sustaining ig.

Very much agreed, his tech stuff and farming is good content, but the rest I do not agree with in any shape or form.

Why does his political stance on anything matter? Is your mental skip button broken?

Informative tech content. I’m right leaning but more towards the center so I don’t agree with everything he says politically speaking, but I have no issues viewing his content since at the end of the day he’s still libertarian and anti-establishment. I also have no problems holding conversations with the anarcho socialists on lemmy, because at the end of the day they’re also not advocating for more control over my life, we just have disagreements on the technical details of how society should work.

I agree, come of as an american libertarian, but at least he’s not on the weirder side of the political ideology with age of consent (from my limited knowledge of him)

Is that supposed to be the name of a person?

He tends to just read a few articles and that’s boring to me. I like how schizo anti government he is.

I’m curious what political stances you disagree with because he only seems to talk about online privacy and guns.

I actually haven’t found much value in his videos lately. I followed him during the time that he was covering more informational topics like android ROMs and a smattering of how to walkthroughs. Haven’t seen anything like that in awhile. The few I have watched have basically been news bites about some event in the tech world. I guess those are OK, but still not super helpful in discovering new tech or services.

Now that I think back, he did do a video on how to switch from sudo to doas in Linux, which was awesome. One or two videos like that are enough to keep me monitoring the channel.

Overall, Based.
