    Why do we always have to make everything political? Software shouldn't be political.

      Politics are what led me to this passion. Politics and software development, right to repair, etc. are deeply connected.

      You may not care about politics, but politics care about you.

      Russians on the frontlines are pinnacle of "I don't care about politics".

      People generally say that, but then they shove their politics in our faces whenever they have the opportunity.

      Free and open-source software is by definition about the users' rights. Fighting for rights can't be non-political.

      The atom bomb wasn't built because people loved nuclear technology.

      Software is a choice and select software isnt neutral.

      Anything people choose to make is political when, like the atom bomb, it conveys power.

      Go ahead, announce how you have an atom bomb then tell people its an apolitical tool!
