    Like I guess I’ll just throw my computer in the lake since no matter what I do, a shithead probably had a part in it at sometime or an other. But since that’s dumb, I guess I can at least refuse to use things that are done by known shit heads, especially when the company doesn’t seem to care that they are.

    Not sure what you are trying to get at here. Are you okay with a politician being an out in the open Nazi just because some politicians are probably nazis but hiding it.

      Making yourself a slave to the caprices of news and publicity just doesn’t seem a sensible way of living your life.

      Not sure what you are trying to get at here. Are you okay with a politician being an out in the open Nazi just because some politicians are probably nazis but hiding it.

      I figure the politicians who are Nazis but hiding it are gonna be making statements that would disqualify them in my choice of candidate anyway.

      It’s a good comparison though because I’d certainly care more about the beliefs of a political candidate whose beliefs are going to affect their decisions which are going to affect me and mine if they get into power, versus someone who contributes in some way to a piece of free software (such as by being its CEO), whose beliefs might, at worst, make that piece of software worse in which case… I’ll not use it, I guess?
