@deshipu For me, it's not that I'm technophobic but that I don't get pulled by in as much by the tech industry's marketting or "hype". I understand technology, leading me to know how empty (or worse dangerous) most of that is and how much better computers can trivially be if everyone wasn't chasing lock-in.

Unfortunately saying that technology has to serve an actual purpose can look like technophobia.

Nachdem das Parlament mir meinen Auftritt verboten hat, lügt es jetzt auch noch (siehe Ende des Artikels). Mir wurden keine Alternativen für einen Auftritt angeboten.

Linus Torvalds: Git is a distributed version control system, which means even if you lose a remote, you still have your local copy, so your code is safe, unlike centralized VCSes.

Developer Community: wut?

Microsoft: Hmm. How about you use our Visual Studio Online and push it to GitHub, both hosted on our computers, so that you don't have a local copy?

Developer Community: Yaay! Such innovation! Very cloud! Much wow! 🎉

Trump: Thou shall not use US services.

Developers: Where's my code? 😭

The illogic of the "paradox of tolerance" argument is mindblowing. If we are not prepared to tolerate the intolerant, then we are fundamentally incapable of defending a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, because we *are* the intolerant, we are the people a tolerant society needs defending against. Classic example, it is on the basis of the "paradox of tolerance" that so many atheists justify their islamophobia.

Here is a bit from Abstruse Goose. This is how we sell #privacy for minor convinces or couple of bucks.

To those people who really believe Microsoft is (or even can be) a friend to Linux and Free and Open Source Software... I encourage you to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duaYLW7LQvg There may be "open source" people who think they're making a difference to Microsoft in the US... but they're deluded. They're driving a wedge that's splitting FOSS communities (and that's by design).
