“Politics” Is often what people call serous issues that don’t affect them. So, maybe you’d just like open-source to be the domain of privileged people.

- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoI dislike this characterization ("privilege") as it is part of the new double-speak that is intended to stop the conversation, because, after all, how do you argue against that. Yeah, I can do some things some people can't, but I can't do some people can. You can make a reasonable argument that everything is politics, but it is slippery slope, because tomorrow I might find myself with files deleted, because I did not read fine print with vegan inclinations of the developer and his stance on this subject. It can bad really fast. It is already bad. Previously dumb pipes are being coerced to be 'smarter' and it is breaking the basic foundations of society. It is a privilege to live in a society. I think it would help if some naive activist did not undermine its foundations.
