to each his own, but I can't really use a computer without implicating myself with software written by people with totally different ethics/philosophy/politic than myself; in fact I think that no one can.
if you find a software stack that aligns itself perfectly with any single dogma (outside maybe TempleOS) then let me know, but right now that seems like a pipe dream.
I mean, just as food for thought, is there any common-use cryptography without major ties to war parties and national security groups?
aside: I can think of plenty of more practical reasons to avoid a net-facing forum software written in asm in 2023.
- winternewt 3y agoI don't think it's a black-or-white thing. You weigh pros and cons. Linus can be a bit of a jerk but the Linux kernel is immensely useful to me, so I use it in spite of some misgivings. This software, on the other hand, is mostly a fun curiosity and the author is promoting actual genocide. So in this case I'll say no thanks.
