He’s a libertarian who is, self admittedly, hard to work with. He’s also petty and a pedant.
Great for right to repair and digital sovereignty, but there’s a lot more arguably real issues in the world than making sure my tech is upgradable. Like I’m pretty sure he talk about supporting RFK Jr in 24 [citation needed]'. I don’t follow him as closely since he made a 20 minute video trying to argue that AOC is wrong about there being no such thing as unskilled labor by explaining the exact point.
I really don’t wanna know his thoughts on trans rights or the mass racist deportations.

Don’t watch his content, but my main concern would be that he worked for FUTO (literally moving to Austin to work for them), which is funded by a right-wing billionaire with connections to Curtis Yarvin, and that he’s somewhat active on Kiwi Farms.
I also admittedly find it a bit sus when tech people move to Texas given all the people that go there because of their political views.

Actually yes, given that Yarvin is a psychotic techno-feudalist and Wolf (the billionaire) seems to be a big Trump and Musk fan. IMO anyone who supports the current US govt is either a PoS or a fool.
FUTO also tried to redefine the established meaning of “open source” until they finally changed the term to “source first” since they didn’t want to call it “source available.” Perhaps this was in good faith, perhaps this was them trying to trick people into thinking their products are something they are not. There’s also recent claims that their claimed donations to open source projects have not been done in the official way and have basically been tiny one-offs to (potentially) singular developers. Everything around Wolf is just sketchy.
