Comment on Immich Is Now Stable!

  Futo’s CEO being a alt right piece of shit is a better reason.

  I didn’t down vote ya but, I am quite certain that if we knew all the little idiosyncrasies, personal core values, or private lives of both open source and closed source software devs, teams, sponsors, equipment manufacturers, components, et al, we’d probably never turn on our computers. I mean, I get it, you are free to make choices. I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, until the dev teams start writing that into their software, I’m ok with them being an alt right piece of shit. It’s kind of like, I enjoy Ted Nugent’s music. It comes up in my playlist every so often. I can’t stand his political stance, but I am able to separate the two without condoning his political core beliefs. Gosh, if I were to listen to only those artists that align with my core beliefs, it’d be a mighty slim playlist. ymmv

    Its always amazing how people defend platforming, at best, a white supremacist.

    Also, that’s fair from the only complaint in that post with receipts.

    Just look at other comment chains replied to you.

      defend

      No, I am not defending anyone or anything.

      It is the easiest thing to give freedom and equality to those we like. It’s much, much harder to give freedom and equality to those we don’t like.

        Yes you are defending it, by saying it’s okay.

        You should look up the tolerance paradox.

        Tl;Dr the ONE thing a tolerant society must be intolerant of is intolerance itself.

        I don’t care about your opinions on a lot of things. But intolerance of people for inherit traits is the one thing I don’t stand for.

  Is there any other info on this besides drew devault’s blog post?

    It has links in it. I’d recommend starting with them.

      OK, thanks.

      Not really that helpful, it’s just more he said/she said.

      Grapheneos is a pretty poor choice of example, has their own issues, they have conflicts with many others (see France pullout), they have openly fought with Murena, e/os, fairphone, among others. Plus, grapheneos likes to throw shade on “less permissive licenses”, which is really weird, considering they use an MIT license, whose loose terms is abused by many not-so-great companies.

      The lead of grapheneos is just as controversial as futo, gets into public spats with others, generally difficult to work with, etc.

      I say this using GrapheneOS myself.

      The people running these companies aren’t perfect. Sometimes they aren’t ideal, either. But I’d rather use Immich than Google photos and heliboard than Swiftkey.
