Moral superiority. It's seems to be a strong theme around here. Why worry about others when we're all so much better then them.
assigning moral value to software is such a weird thing when you really think about it
"haha look i’m a morally superior person due to the specific 1s and 0s that run on my CPU" ok
You just described a sizeable portion of the FOSS community.
As somebody that loves FOSS, the community around it can come off like a morally superior vegan/christian/other-commilunity-known-for-this-attitude quite often. "I DID IT, WHY CANT YOU!?" Is an attitude I've encountered frequently, and it's hard to get them to understand that not everybody has the same tech knowledge level, or use cases, or can manage the loss that comes with stopping/moving away from corporate solutions.
It's also funny and weird how the epstein files are also just 1s and 0s
