« From my position of privilege, I find it intellectually stimulating to reason dispassionately about the suffering of others »
~~ every fossbro ever, when confronted to a social justice issue
@mathieu computer enthusiasts were selected by the industry for low emotional intelligence (mostly to kick out women from the field); unsurprisingly, the FOSS world then started self-selecting the worst excesses of the industry, in a show of performative toxic masculinity. In short: you want a ton of Linus and Stallman clones? Because this is how you get lots of Linus and Stallman clones
@mathieu Take this as an opportunity: I don't know your gender, race, weight, anything. I don't know your nationality or affiliations. You're completely free of all that, anything you post will be judged entirely on how solid it is as an argument, nothing else will play a part in it.
Now if you want to have a serious discussion about it, I'm all ears. If you think any of what I said is not true, please tell me where it's wrong.
