A #nixos bug a day keeps the *bros at bay

free ideasIs it just me or does software licensing almost feel like a religion of ideologies to practice? The license seems where we struggle to unite and for very real reasons. Solutions so far are confusing to say the least. While we all navigate the development of the fediverse and foss community growth; we can lead with examples to share.
@alcinnz offers some guidance & examples from experience with a post 'On FOSSbros' https://adrian.geek.nz/fossbros

Mima-samaWhat a typical response from #fossbros. Your criticism is automatically invalid if you "never built #FOSS software". β
β Truly an arrogant, #elitist take.
And for the record I DID work on some #freesoftware / #opensource projects. One project I spent plenty of time doing backports, getting some image support, etc. But why should I tell you specifically what it is. β:seija_coffee:β

@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online @mahenderkar@mstdn.social @monster@defcon.social So creating a youtube video showcasing a KDE bug that might be reproducable on someone else's machine is better than reporting the bug directly? At least linking a bug in the video description would be nice

Criticise fossbros.

KellynOrg A: we make and sell technology to corporations and governments.
Org B: we make technology for individuals to protect their human rights.
Fossbros: These are the same thing.

I swear anyone who explains to me what #FOSS is again gets an instant block.
Iβve freely shared nearly everything Iβve created in four decades of programming and Iβve been writing free software exclusively, at great personal expense, for over a decade. (So I havenβt been working at fucking Google or Facebook and hacking on my personal hobby project in the evenings, which seems to be a particularly common trait among #fossbros)
FOSS is just one feature of #SmallTech.
