GlyphJeff Geerling, the affable and adorkable raspberry pi guy, was a misogynistic forced-birth tradcath extremist from at least 2009 to 2013, and as far as I know, still is today. Do not link to him and do not support his work. This is a matter of record on his own website: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/tags/abortion
I hate this kind of callout post and nothing would make me happier than to find out I am mistaken, that he's changed his views, and that I can watch his work guilt-free. But we cannot afford to allow people like this to become load-bearing fixtures of the open source community, nor can we afford to give them resources to advance their dangerous political agendas.

Dreaming of dad jazz.I've used his Ansible modules before and have recently been seeing his videos pop up online a lot more.
He does a lot of hardware testing and lab projects on youtube and he's often working with RISC boards and small radio projects.
He's burrowed his way into several niche communities.
@michaelcoyote @glyph Ah. Well. An overweening peen on gender and civil liberties would need to be ah-maaaaaazing on tech to be tolerable. Zoop out the airlock.

The dangerous thing about this dude is that he knows not to say anything about it on main.

@michaelcoyote so it’s extra awesome glyph @glyph called it out. Peer vigilance is gonna save us.
@cascheranno @glyph absolutely.
