@xgranade@wandering.shopReading project READMEs is so weird now. The examples for OSS projects seem to always be a mix of a few genuinely nice but somewhat niche applications, mixed in with examples showing how to better use climate-destroying labor-betraying plagiarism machines that lie and that you can only use by giving money to eugenicist fascists who spend way, *way* too much time on LessWrong and SSC.
The ideological capture of F/OSS communities by proprietary services and binaries* that are directly designed to work against their users' interests is at once fascinating and horrifying.
(*I strongly disagree with the idea that a serialized model is "open source," unless a debug-stripped P/E file is also "open source.")
I'll at least partially blame that for a *long* time, F/OSS has been ideologically captured into effectively being a kind of free labor for giant corporations... the disconnect from labor politics is a major weakness of many F/OSS communities, IMHO.
