                  FOSS/privacy community

                  These are not the same community. The actual free software community has been a thing for 40 years, and the privacy/security people spend as much time attacking free software as they do big tech. I’ve come to believe no security or privacy guy is trustworthy in the free software space. Reject Rossman, return to Stallman.

                  edit: security guys will say “free software isn’t always more secure!” and privacy guys will say “freedom, what is this freedom? it has no internet access, that’s the only thing that matters!” and meanwhile stuff like WEI is being implemented, that we’ve been warning about for the last 40 years. The security and privacy guys will say you don’t need freedom, just the “best tool for the job” - Chrome was the best browser when it came out, now it’s being used to subjugate the free web. WEI is the end result of treating freedom as a second thought behind security.
