I couldn't care less about what this character says.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

It makes a lot of sense for someone like him to promote brave tbh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Seeing a lot of criticisms. Is there a better tier list then?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

I've looked into it and it's not even his tier list, just one he found online.

Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.

Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is "good enough". Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.

I rather have "good enough" tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.

Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.


Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.

Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie's advise surely is, even if its not perfect)

Sir, this is 2025, we don't do nuanced opinions here anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the "Not ideal for a normal human" at best.

I kinda think Floorp is better than waterfox

[–] [email protected] 1 points 55 minutes ago

Floorp is amazing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm considering switching to Floorp, I'll need to check of Pewdiepie has his reasons and what those are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

He barely touches on the topic of browsers, it's like 40 second segment, i don't think he even made the tier list.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Superiority complex in the comments.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 13 hours ago

Ppl focusing on the negative. It's just his subjective list. He doesn't claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it's really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.

Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn't fully watched the video so maybe I'm wrong and he made a big disclaimer)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.

Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

How sorry didn't know, so that make him really one of the biggest expert in FOSS 100%

Where's ladybird

Edit - I didn't know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean ladybird certainly would be lowest tier, considering you first have to compile yourself 😂 also it's pre alpha state...

But it'll be interesting to see how far they've come on 1 year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Ladybird Trattoria? About 10 minutes away from Linus Media Group.

Not sure why you asked but you now have an answer, hope it helps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

Still in development

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

In the trash with the rest of the transphobes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, something happened with ladybird? Or is just a joke?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Thx :D That was a good read. I didn't know about that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago
