I’ve seen people call it slacktivism, and I would like to clarify his point: knowing that there are countless people who feel just a strongly as you do about an issue is a necessary prerequisite to actually making a change.
except his SteamDeck video. Still salty about that one.
edit: for context he complained about how it’s not user repair-able and valve said not to touch the battery because it might explode (which isn’t exactly accurate) for legal reasons
however… COMPARE IT TO THE NINTENDO SWITCH! in terms of repairability the steam deck is miles ahead and you can actually install stuff in the hardware you paid hundreds of bucks for
he had all food points in a vacuum but like Nintendo is over there just setting stuff on fire and he’s complaining about the SteamDeck boiling water
Valve made the Steam Deck super repairable, gave us a literal disassembly tutorial, and partnered with iFixit, and the only thing they mentioned is that opening a device with thread lock will make it weaker and that batteries can be dangerous.
Louis doesn’t actually like that users don’t need his input to repair this device, and feels threatened by iFixit, so suddenly repairability isn’t enough and Steam Deck = bad.

Lois Rossman can be annoying but dammit, he is right a lot.
I changed my avatar to clippy. Cant find the link but it was a thing he was pushing.

Exactly
If you feel that you’re alone on an issue you’re less likely to stand up about it.
And the more visibility an issue gets the more likely that the issue is gonna gain traction with passionate people who will put boots on the ground.
I kinda like this chaotic good personality. I feel we “needed” somebody like that.

Louis does that a lot.
