That's a false dichotomy if I've ever seen one! And out of the blue.. the author seems ashamed but trying to justify why they shouldn't be.

- Karrot_Kream 5y agoA lot of anti-crypto technical people are also very interested in a subculture I like to call "ethical computing" and part of that subculture is constantly talking about how ethical you are, how much FOSS you use, and how evil tech $TECH is destroying the world (where you can substitute "ads", "blockchain", "GUI interfaces", or "Golang" in depending on what you want to cast as unethical/what you dislike). There's usually (though not always) a grain of truth to these positions, but I personally find the movement to be facile and adherents are usually zealous in their ideology.
