GNU hot take

Sometimes I wonder if I want to write about how GNU was never about users freedom, but just about some nerdy hackers wanting to mess with stuff (which is cool! no disagreement here).

But what I dislike is how all those GNU fanbois make it sound like it's the most important thing in tech and how it would solve all the issues.

Like... 99% of all users lives won't change the tiniest bit by using GNU software.

It always felt like a "rich white bois screaming at clouds" movement.
