Hector Martin is the archetypal bullshitter as defined by Harry G. Frankfurt in his magnum opus, "On Bullshit".

For those not familiar with "On Bullshit", Harry opines that there's a clear difference between the liar and the bullshitter: the liar accepts that the truth exists and deliberately opposes it. As counterintuitive as it sounds, the liar has respect for the truth.

On the other hand, the bullshitter has no respect for the truth or the lie. They create their own narrative from the ground up, which frequently includes a kernel of the truth; often by design, but sometimes completely by accident. This is why the bullshitter is so dangerous, especially when they have a platform.

tl;dr: the bullshitter rejects your reality and substitutes their own

If that's the kind of person Hector Martin is, that sounds a lot worse than simply being a liar who spews lies. That description of what it means to be a bullshitter sounds oddly like what "fact checkers" do.

Let's say for a minute, that this is all true - that this is an evil place that solely exists to fuck with famous people, around my subscriber count. After news came out about it, I searched for myself, and wow, a 15 page thread on me!! What can I do at that point?

I hope you understand Louis that your thread isn't lolcow-based, but rather an appreciation thread in our technology board (there's more to the farms than just lolcows, we like to talk about video games, films, shows, music, and of course technology). Many of us here at the farms have a lot of respect for you, both techies and non-techies alike (even our dear feeder likes you). You are looked-up to by us little kiwis, and we consider you as our right-to-repair daddy.

I don't think he's lying to others, or to me. I think that on this particular issue, he lies to himself, and then tells others the truth as he believes it. We've all done this at one point in our life. Self deception is an art form.

If you were to take this specific accusation, then yes, you could come to that conclusion. The problem is this isn't the first time he lied, knowing full well he lied (for example Byuus supposed suicide). But you can keep a hopeful attitude about him if you so desire. It's admirable. I'm probably more jaded than you

I don't blame Louis for not finding any of this fun anymore, because he's absolutely right... it's really NOT fun anymore, especially when companies and manufacturers make it a fucking hassle and a half to fix even the simplest shit.

There is absolutely no fucking reason for parts that used to be easily replaceable to now be fucking soldered to the entire motherboard. And apple isn't the only one that does this shit too. I remember Lenovo Laptops back in 2016/2017 where the job I used to work for couldn't fix the thing and only a specialized Lenovo tech had to do it, so the IT department had to just sit with their thumbs up their asses and wait for the tech guy to finish.

You take a look at the back of laptops from like 2005 (e.g. Dell Inspiron 9300) and compare it to now and the difference is night and day. Each part has a specific square/rectangle door that can easily be opened and looked at that is separate from the rest of the board so you can replace that AND ONLY that.

Fixing computers back then was fun because it was also a rewarding learning experience, especially if you did it as a hobby. Also the parts were easily recognizeable that any joe-shmo could figure what goes where and what it does. Now, it's like why even bother? After encountering roadblock after roadblock, the only reward you'll get is a massive headache.

This. So much this.

And I talk to them. not even the "certified techs" find it that enjoyable either.

At some point you start to wonder whether you should just punch yourself in the nuts in save yourself the trouble.

I doubt he will bother making a video on it if too many other content creators respond. The man is allergic to bandwagons.

You're probably right but I'd like his balanced input. He's a buisness owner himself, one that takes care not to go overboard with how fast he could go, instead focusing on quality. I don't think it's likely, but his perspective would be appreciated
 
Livestream of our guy repairing a sex toy some goober mailed to his shop:


He has a brief comment on LTT from 1:43 - 2:19 (mostly how Eli the Computer Guy made a bet back in 2020 shit would happen someday).

Seems the NYC saga is never ending. Hope he puts the state and city on blast again when things settle down.

In recent community happenings, Louis Rossman (@larossmann) has had enough and has decided that TNYD must be enacted and he will be the head of it.
"Hey everybody, how it's going. I hope you're have a lovely day."

"So today I wanna talk about how I'm going to kill New York. Behead New York. Roundhouse kick New York into the concrete. Slam dunk New York into the trashcan. Crucify filthy New York. Defecate in New York's food. Launch New York into the sun. Stir fry New York in a wok. Toss New York into an active volcano. Urinate into New York's gas tank. Judo throw New York into a wood chipper. Twist New York's head off. Report New York to the IRS. Karate chop New York in half. Curb stomp New York. Trap New York in quicksand. Crush New York in the trash compactor. Liquefy New York in a vat of acid. Eat New York. Dissect New York. Exterminate New York in the gas chamber. Stomp New York with steel toed boots. Cremate New York in the oven. Lobotomize New York. Mandatory abortion on New York. Grind New York in the garbage disposal. Drown New York in fried chicken grease. Vaporize New York with a ray gun. Kick New York down the stairs. Feed New York to alligators. Slice New York with a katana."

"Anyway, that's it for today. As always, I hope you learned something. I'll see you all when New York is Past York. Bye now."

NGL, I laughed way too hard at this because I could totally hear it in his voice.

Also "when new york is past york" too.
