Your own viewpoint is pretty biased too Drew. Your entire software philosophy is based on your own model of ethics and admitting that the software megacorps might not be the very epitome of evil would invalidate most of the reasons for the existence of sourcehut and your other projects.
I hope you continue to explore other places in the design space, but calling people evil because you disagree with them makes people disengage. It makes you look like just another zealot screaming his viewpoint into the uncaring masses.
- ddevault 6y agoI have called no one evil. I have spoken of behaviors that I believe are unethical, and necessarily if someone in this thread is doing these behaviors then they may be offended by this. If we are unwilling to talk about ethics for the risk of offending someone who doesn't meet them, then we are inevitably going to fail to uphold our ethics at all. Some of the stuff megacorps are doing is so unethical that we would use it as a grandiose example for the purpose of debate. If there is a point at which it's acceptable to call behavior out as unethical, and we aren't there yet, then I don't know where it is.
