Good point. Phrased another way, they can get away with shit like that exactly once, and then they're blacklisted for life, and even people who openly support the act may receive extra scrutiny from that point forward. It's a much safer play to use dominion over certain software to control default settings or stand in the way of features.
eventually he is going to fully analyze the dense web of free software cross-pollination and conclude that absolutely everything is fascism, except for the hare compiler of course (which has been rewritten with a new backend since he figured out that qbe is fascist because somebody the maintainer follows on xitter posted on the mailing list of a project whose 3rd most prolific contributor tried hyprland in 2023)
Even on HN people are wising up to devaults rather lax definition of facist. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45666239
Drew already hates HN, so this doesn't change much.
of course real drew fans have known that hackernews has been fascist for years. basically brownshirts goosestepping through polish towns and murdering anybody who has a mildly large nose
he already basically is by this point
Wait until he finds out Louis is one of those evil Kiwi Farms chuds (even if he only posts in his own thread, has distanced himself from a lot of the shit the site does and worst of all, said he wouldn't let us pet his cat)
They can't. FOSS trannies by definition have to be open and accepting of every little freak of nature, as long as he's not right wing.
I am excited for the fallout of this because Louis already just torched another tech pedo who tried to fuck with him.
Waiting patiently for either a rant video or a concise "go fuck yourself"
I really doubt that those people that see fascist under every rock are very aware of the people they try to fuck with. They go exclusively on stereotypes and hearsay because watching th target is fascism.
This guy seems to have his head on straight (archive):
Emphasis mine.
As much as I would relish such a video, as nobody can deliver a go-fuck-yourself with quite the same je ne sais quoi that a born and bred New Yorker like Mr. Rossmann can, I'd prefer Mr. Rossmann not waste his energy on Drew. A pathetic worm like Drew is beneath Mr Rossmann's notice. I'd much rather see Rossmann continue making anti-right-to-repair politicians squirm. He accomplishes more net good for the world in keeping that austistic hyperfocus than he does getting down into the mud with every pathetic faggot like Drew.
Regardless of whether Rossmann will ever forgive any of us and let us pet his cat, I think there's one thing we can all agree on regarding Drew: Drew will never deserve the privilege of petting Rossmann's cat.
This was my favourite message from that shitshow:
These little freaks absolutely don't care if they're "on the same side" in almost all respects, because it's really not about Free Software for these "people" at all. This reminds me of how the real commies kicked out feminists and integrationists for being insufficiently devoted to the true cause of worker empowerment. I'm so fucking sick of seeing disgusting fucking monsters going around literally calling anyone with whom they disagree Hitler.Sammy said:
It's really hard to think of Drew as anything but a saboteur by now, although saboteurs are usually more covert than he is.
