   "OSS does not appreciate leftism"

   I *do* think we need to pivot from

   libertarian, meritocratic, free as in "if you knew the twelve Frameworks this was written in you could just modify it yourself"

   to

   accessible, affirming, free as in "this is in one language, runs on a pi, and has plugins and config keys to lower the barriers to entry"

   radical enabling shit. So open-source purity tests just don't feel compelling to me.

      open source is a necessary but insufficient condition to being "free" in the modern sense, and is one of many aspects you mention, i totally agree!
