   @prettygood @scathach imo it's not only acceptable but a net positive to be a toxic piece of shit in a FOSS project that manages to deliver on something useful since all of these projects are constantly under siege by corporate interests trying to recuperate them into being basically unpaid internships

     @prettygood @scathach but there are also like pretty specific conditions where someone has earned the right to do this, like you have to be a Torvalds-tier wizard

     @nyx @prettygood My irritation with them comes from the fact that they're unwilling to compromise on boot security, which frankly matters to almost nobody. I'd much rather use Graphene than Lineage but there's no way in hell I'm buying a Google phone just for better security in an edge case that I'll never experience

     @nyx@social.xenofem.me @prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer @scathach@stereophonic.space all of these projects are constantly under siege by corporate interests trying to recuperate them into being basically unpaid internshipsHuh, now that I think of it, it seems that this is where the pushy, hippie-like attitude that many people criticize FOSS for comes from, even as annoying as it can legitimately be. In general, while software like GIMP is indeed poopy, I don't think people who have directly witnessed the gradual expansion of the surveillance state and the melting away of digital (and soon real-life civil) rights despite their best efforts to get everyone else against it before it was far too late would ever result in anything less than (valid) passive-aggressive behavior :drgn_cup:
