    Oh, Louis Rossmann. Sounds good.

    Shit means electronic devices here.

    He has a non-profit now and I can hear him speak through the text of the site.

    No paywall for me btw. Here’s a screenshot of the article.

    It’s a righteous screed that feels infectious in the crowd. People cheer and call out their own ownership issues. Rossmann is a preacher at the pulpit of people pissed off by subscription services, the steady decline of physical media, and the inability to fix their stuff.

        According to the wiki page for Rossman himself it’s: Freedom from Unethical Limitations on Users

        The About Us page doesn’t say. Wikipedia says:

        This article is about the Taoist talismans. For the star in Cassiopeia, see Zeta Cassiopeiae.

      Louis Rossman? You mean the guy with an active account on Kiwi Farms?

      What’s with all these otherwise reasonable seeming people being right wing asshats deep down? It really twists up what their underlying reasoning for supporting these things are.

        What does active mean here? You linked to a profile that only someone with an account can open and quantify.

        That said, the furthest left his politics have ever been has been center-right (this is pretty clear if you’ve watched his videos) but his overall soapbox has always been about consumer rights.
