I understand that I am perceived to have some manner of technology reach and influence based on my shitposting, for which I am grateful!

But I do not understand where people think they will get yelling at me if I even just mention using something that's a tech product instead of idk, as a classic example let's say, using some open source thing I have genuinely never heard of run by 2 strangers in a basement, one of whom has a years-long history of bigotry online. I will not do it.
