Dear Mastodon commenters:

When someone describes a systemic problem with a technology in society, you dickheads have an awful habit of Kramering into the mentions proposing to solve the problem with some lump of open source with an interface bad enough it's a list of reasons to become a terrorist.

Apart from how nobody fucking asked, you are also being too obnoxiously self-centred to realise that INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS DON'T SOLVE SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS that are not a matter of people not being enlightened to the existence of a particular lump of FOSS that isn't going to work for that user in that situation anyway.

Your reasons for thinking this is in any way appropriate behaviour trace directly back to the libertarian origins of open source and the Californian ideology as outlined as far back as the 1990s. Many of you are absolutely not libertarians and you *still pull this shit*, and that's where you got it from.

This is a perennial fucking pattern. I realise that posts like this reach everyone except the fuckheads who really need to read them, but to sum it up:

NOBODY ASKED FOR YOUR SOFTWARE REC FOR THIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM.

TRY SHUTTING THE FUCK UP AND NOT ACTING LIKE A FATUOUS BOZO.

Feel free to link back here when someone does this to one of your posts.

I think this shows how @linuxfoundation is not necessarily on our side.

@panther_modern I'm gonna steal that phrase: "It's a perfect storm"

It's unbearable. The Free Software community can no longer remain silent about the #genocide in #Palestine.
As the author and project leader of @gnuhealth , I ask any freesoftware project to join forces and publicly condemn this atrocity. Our values must go beyond coding. â¤ī¸
