Mentions

“I don’t share the same perspective as most ‘fossbros’ and organizations like the FSF. Software freedom is important because it gives people agency instead of delegating control to an authority; it’s not valuable in and of itself, and promoting a ‘fosssh’ alternative that has vulnerabilities and accessibility issues is sometimes counterproductive.” ➡️
