    This guy was offered an insane salary for doing engineering for US defense contracts and turned it down because he felt like calling out bad practices and improving repairability on our devices was a better thing to do.

    I guess that makes him our lord and saviour then, and we can then only take him seriously because of that. Knowing this changes everything. He is so good to help us lowly people in our quest for repairable devices! And if you just keep watching his videos he can teach you how you also can be successful like him. And by the way you can buy his tools too!

    He’s right on the right to repair, but every time I tried to watch his videos (and I tried a few times, I work in tech and like the subject), I always felt like I was being… patronized.

          I don’t watch any YouTube anymore, but good try.

          Keep crying about people who are pro right to repair and actively spend resources to fight companies who want to erode those rights, loser.

          Your phone manufacturer doesn’t love you. They don’t even know you exist.

            You know it’s not one or another, right?

            I’ve been using Linux since 1999 and I’m a strong defender of free software. I’ve been rooting and installing roms on my phones for years. I’ve repaired them several times. I’m well aware of the issues and I still have the right not to like Louis Rossman, even if I support his cause with the right to repair.

            I don’t think it’s necessary to tell people they are losers because they don’t like him. We are not ennemies. Some people can actually dislike him, or his style, and still support the cause. But if you want to antagonize them…

              You’re the one antagonising lmao, get a grip and stop being a whiny loser.

              You see someone doing something good and your first instinct is to cry about it.
