bkuhn blocked me simply for asking who is harassing him for using proprietary software (I guess he means his new Claude habit). this is sad and disappointing.

@ariadne i suppose that if you're lost in the sauce you get _completely_ lost in it
@pikhq I think it really sucks that this has become "the" wedge issue
@pikhq @whitequark from a resistance standpoint: yes, I would agree.
but at the same time, this is destroying the community I grew up in and I am sad about it
in fact the only person I have ever criticized for using proprietary software is Jim Zemlin, CEO of the Linux Foundation.
to me, software freedom very much includes the freedom to run proprietary software, and I wouldn't have it any other way. it's your computer, run whatever you want on it for all I care.
but, I criticized Zemlin because he used to give keynotes at LF events decrying that this year will be "the year of the Linux desktop" while presenting from his Mac. why I would criticize *that* should be obvious.
