   @VIPPER Lunduke is not aligned with free software - "Lunduke is negative in the freedom dimension" - Richard Stallman
   
   The idea is that there is 2 proprietary sides, that have the same goal in the end, so by choosing either you lose - but you can win by choosing freedom again.

     It's kinda funny how right-wing and center-right people like Bryan Lunduke are more ideologically aligned with free software, user freedom and "sticking it to the man" in general, supporting underdog projects like Xlibre, while FOSS people who are nominally on the Left tend to support IBM/RedHat-controlled technologies like systemd, GNOME, Flatpak etc. as well as Canonical's Rust rewrites of the coreutils, and consider people like Richard Stallman to be "chuds" and the GPL to be outdated or impractical.
     
     I'm not making a judgement on whose choices are better objectively or who's morally right, I just find it really funny that this is the state of the affairs. We live in la-la land.
