There was a time when us tekkies of a more libertarian bent hoped Linux represented classic conservatism (less govt dependency/intrusion in our lives).
even if they were independent- or libertarian- but for them to be liberal? Doesn’t compute- liberals always tax the snot out of them yet they still hold onto liberal ideals?
I always hoped so also, their leaning toward no nonsense tight security in the OS is very (less govt dependency/intrusion in our lives) and have donated quite a bit when I could since using it.
I have to make a call, But this Mr Wood just might be one of my long time genius programmer friends. And if it is, he is indeed a long time Libertarian and strong Trump supporter.
Then came that stupid show "Freaks and Geeks" and teen geeks were taught that they should be one with the freaks.
I wonder if this show actually had a significant effect on turning geeks into freaks.
I realize it was never very popular, but if a large percentage of geeks watched it, it would still have had low ratings.
Taking my tin hat off now.
