- Jare 6y agoI would say that's the sort of impossible standard the OP was probably referring to.
- rabuse 6y agoThe tech sector should not be politicized, IMO. It's the one bastion we've had from all the nonsense.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoThe tech sector has almost never not been politicized, damn, are kids these days forgetting how much open source was fought for and defended?
- pgeorgi 6y agoNot forgetting, they weren't there yet
- wizzwizz4 6y agoNeither was I. I remember. Youth is no excuse to be ignorant of recent history.
- raxxorrax 6y agoI remember that they fought for freedoms, not for corporate compliance.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoTo channel RMS: The political concern there is Free Software. Open Source isn't a political movement, it's an approach to software development that has similar ideas on software licensing.
- j-krieger 6y agoOpen Source is not influenced by political factors. Influencing factors are almost entirely economical, with the exception being decisions by lawmakers. I'd rather they kept politics and so-called fights against racism out of Software, because they were never problematic there to begin with. The terms master and slave for example are only in bad taste because people make them to be.
- mavhc 6y agoEverything is political. Silicon Valley is polluted, all your hardware is made in China, algorithms shape what we see.
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoThat hardly a reason to sink deeper.
- otikik 6y agoConsider that it might have always been politized, but the previous status quo might have been more convenient/pleasant to you (i.e. made it easier for you to ignore problems which affect others).
- rawbot 6y agoI think this sentiment is a few years too late.
