   @newt @vitali64sur @element @SuperDicq >firmware for our missiles is fully open source
   Having the source code of proprietary software under a source-available (proprietary) license on a flash drive (that runs proprietary software), with the binary being burned into circuits that that make up a socketed ROM chip that go into the missile (firmware - as if you can reprogram it, it's software), that is completely destroyed when the missile explodes, clearly wouldn't be free software.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @newt@stereophonic.space @vitali64sur@mamot.fr @element@mastodon.matrix.org You know as for missiles, considering that they are weapons intended to kill people I don't think it really matters if the software is free or not.
     
     It's unethical regardless. There's such as a thing as unethical free software development.

     @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @newt@stereophonic.space @vitali64sur@mamot.fr @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @element@mastodon.matrix.org Sorry, I'm not a gnu+jihadist. I believe in the words of our prophet, Saint IGNUcius, who believes that all change in society should be democratic and not achieved through violence.

     @vitali64sur@mamot.fr @newt@stereophonic.space @snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @element@mastodon.matrix.org This is very unlikely to happen as you're asking at least five different people (and an infinite amount of potential readers who might join the thread in the future) to not forget to untag you specifically.
     
     The chances of this happening without you being tagged again is very unlikely.
     
     I suggest you press the "mute thread" button instead, and if your instance software does not have a similar button complain to your instance admin. This saves us all of us a lot of trouble, thank you.
