Richard Stallman pens a love letter to open-source purity, declaring #GCC won't be a library because companies might *gasp* create nonfree addons. 🏴‍☠️ It's a thrilling tale of moral high ground and corporate villainy, starring email archives and index lists. 📜✨

What do people really mean when they talk about “Christian morality”? From the myth that #Christianity invented Western morality to the violent, #patriarchal history it conveniently forgets, we need to stop pretending that #organizedreligion owns the #moralhighground.

"Who does have the Moral High Ground? You, if you’re a decent person who believes in the dignity of all people, who loves people for who they are, who believes people should love who they love. You, if you’re a person of integrity who at least mostly tries to be kind to people who have it worse than you, including at your polling place. You, if you believe in democracy and the rule of law."

"These people do not have the Moral High Ground. In fact, it’s laughable that anyone still pretends they do, in any way, shape or form. But that toxic tumor of an idea is still out there, metastasizing. Whenever it’s found, it should be mocked, ridiculed, excised, and people should make offhand comments about whether these people should be allowed to be alone with children."

"They’re desperate for somebody to want to be like them, without being forced.

But nobody does. Nobody in America, absent some kind of coercion, chooses to be a bitter, hate-filled Traditional Values MAGA Christian, and as long as people have true agency, they’re unlikely to start. Nobody looks at these people and says, oh boy, I want what they’ve got."

parece facil conocer a otras personas pero puedo dar fe que eso no es así (puedes tener ganas en un inicio pero se pasan a los 2 o 3 años 😅 )
las publicaciones que "critican" a esas apps y a los usuarios generalmente tienden a generalizar un perfil de usuario y se desestima a una minoria incurriendo en un #virtuesignaling o un "postureo virtuoso" buscando un #moralhighground inexistente, tipico de "gente joven" 🤷‍♂️
o peor aún "gente de izquierda" 😅
