    So, your argument is merely that the point he blogs about does not matter?

    No

    Or do you somehow not want people to discuss it?

    No

    I wrote that I don’t want to invalidate his points. I think they are valid.

    All that our efforts did

    That statement is just too strong.

    Not to invalidate his points but:

    We won the debate, and gained little for users or developers. All that our efforts did was to make it easier for big corporations build things more cheaply and for billionaires to become trillionaires.

    We have free software. We have Linux. We have Graphene OS.

    Everybody can build whatever they want. That’s a huge win.









  • Our interactions should be detailed enough that you know that I am not a bot.

    This leaves the well-informed part. The full quote is:

    They have different values and may be willfully ignorant about the cruelty of the USSR but the debates I had with them were well-informed.

    Further down:

    Cheering for Russia is a consequence from different values but that’s not automatically sheering for violence. Your quote doesn’t show that they are cheering for violent action, only for the other side. The quote calls it horror of war. That’s the opposite of sheering on violent actions.

    As you see I only state that you haven’t proven that they cheer for violence in Ukraine.
