If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.
Of you didn't watch the full video, which is fair enough, it's a point Linus makes which the comment refers to. So Linus is either newborn or braindead? I mean ok maybe. ๐ฟ
I'm downvoted for pointing out what Linus said in the video, why exactly?
You have watched his videos, he is not the brightest bulb in the shed. Even on technical topics he sometimes spouts really awful things. Remember when he accidentally made racists remarks because he got confused about the meaning of the words he was using?
No I don't, care to share?
Here, not only did he admit he used to call people the R word, which, nice of him to not do that anymore, but so uncool to have done it in the first place. He also didn't knew that Hard R refers to a racist slur. Which tells you the kind of background and mind space he comes from. Again, good of him to want to do better, but he has a lot to of catch up to do.
Alright, that clip was funny but he said he used the R word, not that he called people it. And it wasn't an uncommon word at all twenty years ago. There are better points to make.
It's OK. I also used to use the N word. I didn't call anyone it, I just used it. It wasn't racist, I don't use the word anymore, but I never called anyone that.
