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.

    Tbh, we got lots of people overanalyzing single sentences. Torvalds is one of the select few programmers who changed the entire world with his project. And he ain’t stupid. He must be aware of it. Despite him, or other people claiming arbitrary things.

      This is what I want to believe, that he is aware.
      Yet he decides to use a expression in quotes with a intent, and this is what scares me.
