Sure, ignore him being pals with the homophobe CEO and welcoming Mr. genocide because he made cool tech. Because being a developer puts you above mere ethical issues, and saying “I’m apolitical” makes you immune to criticism.
Andreas hasn’t changed, that’s half the point of my comment. The PR was sent by someone else, merged by someone else, disguised with a different title, and all after his departure announcement. Someone approached him about it later, and Andreas himself admits he hasn’t changed his mind. Did you read nothing? Where’s this change you’re so confident about?
And I’m not ruining his career, that’s absurd. I couldn’t manage, even if I wanted to. Look at the niche forum we’re in. Even so, I’ve defended his work, his skill, the very idea of Ladybird, the need for more browser engines, even the tooling. But unless people shut up and never criticize him, it’s just not enough for you.
“Don’t unnecessarily chum up to homophobes and genocide defenders” aren’t high expectations. They’re ridiculously low-hanging fruit, considering our history. Absolutely pathetic excusing of his actions.
Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren’t allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don’t share 100% of their opinions?
You’re free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that’s what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.
Anyway, I’m about done with this conversation, as I don’t believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.
Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that’s almost a week old, I wouldn’t be surprised if you do.
I really hope no one reading thinks this redditor behavior is as cool as the author does. Dude seemingly can’t get the point they’re arguing against, so this is all that’s left, I guess.
Yeah buddy, this is to sleep better at night. You’ve shown you’re not stopping the high-school tier debate club logic and the goofy-ass mic-drops.
Mic drop? He was clearly tired of talking with you and you predictably had to get the last word in lol.
Didn’t even have a counter argument.
