#2Oh man... Technology has always been a refuge from politics for me. I know this is a childish view of the world, but still... Today the nerdiest of things are still filled with politics. Rust, nix, open source hardware... there is nowhere to "hide".

Everything is political, especially something like the open source world (explicitly). Trying to hide from politics is just naivety and gives space to bad actors.

Free software (that some people call "open-source") is exactly about your freedoms, i.e., it's inherently political.

I know. Though I wish those popular, influential tech people would be less interested in politics, and less vocal about it. I wish I could afford to not care about any of it.

#6It’s time we start ignoring the lunacy from the fringes of society. Nothing good comes from indulging the psychopathic lust for control on display from these types of people.

Just make sure your favorite employer's IT department is aware of this before they make a purchase order.

This kind of attitude comes hand-to-hand with performative virtue signalling. Minimizing the extent of political involvement makes any hobby or interest infinitely more enjoyable and less toxic, and I find it regrettable that people are less able to engage in communities centered around technology without flaunting their political tribal allegiances.
