this project is a dignified non-dogmatic rationalist marketplace-of-ideas meritocracy. that is why this particular controversial technical issue is beyond discussion, and we will be moving forward with my personal opinion without any community input. it is fine for me to have this position as the BDFL because if you don't like it you can always fork our open source code and spend decades building up the institutional material support necessary to maintain this critical infrastructure

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place "It's just a tool! We are primarily concerned with technology! How dare you question the implications of what we are making and how it is made! Don't bring ethics into this you social justice warriors! La La laaa!! La la laaaa!!!" Linus is really showing himself to be just another slop-obsessed boomer who drank a little too much corporate techno kool-aid. Disappointing but not surprising.
