I hate how they've corrupted the Free Software/Open Source movement. People, evidently, can be corrupted. Fortunately the message is not the people.

Unfortunately the leaders of the ideological side (RMS and ESR) were ousted because of their careless defense of Epstein. And the leaders of the practical side (like Linus) were corrupted and brainwashed by SJWs.

However, the entire ideological point behind these movements is that we shouldn't have software vendors deciding how we should live and what we can use our devices for. Proprietary technology is a problem. Vendor lock-in is a problem. The threat of "Fear Uncertainty and Doubt" tactics are also still a problem. Even though the spearheads are gone, the ideal of making our software to defend the freedoms of its users is NOT in vain.

We must not let the corrupt oligarchs win through such chicanery. Even if those who first voiced these goals fell to their own folly, we mus still fight for the freedom to decide what we want to do with our own devices free from the vagaries of the people who write the software.
