I’m not sure how the “general majority” could speak of FOSS as something dubious considering the general majority has no idea what FOSS means or is.

If you look down on people who are not as informed/tech savvy as you, you will never win them over. It’s an information problem and it can be solved.

I always look down on people only after they, with at least three sigma rule fulfilled, look down on me.

I start with modest explaining always.

In fact, I'm more likely to carry my point over when I start with scorn.

You should try healthier ways of communicating tbh. Catch more flies with honey and all that.

[–] rottingleaf 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't need flies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And yet you speak to them.

[–] rottingleaf 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You can never tell who's a fly and who's something else.
