Software and Politics
jeferson.me
I think we are looking at the wrong part of the mailing list, and the consequences could be very dangerous.

From my view, all software is political in some sense. And if a software claims that isn’t political is a political statement in itself. And with the recent dubious statement from Linus in the Kernel of Linux. I think we should either think about it or discuss about it.

What is the political intention that is happening in this.

All feedback is welcomed.

      post title: every line of code is political

      comment: the game kirby for gameboy has code written for it which polls the registers for the status of the button inputs

      reply: its a strawman (not) argument to give and example of very generic code to (not) showcase the absolutism of a statement that is all inclusive (every) to remove nuance from an argument.

      rere: nuance and also, how dare you hint that i want “to look smart”. i want to look like a comment but now you made me blush

      //== . ==// the above comment is blushing
