I didn’t assume that you weren’t familiar with Stallman, just that it’s annoying to hear the term “enshittification” be brought up as if it were something original and also many people are unaware of stallmans pioneering work.
Also I don’t read stallmans personal blog since I find stallmans writings outside of his early work the same kind of liberal trite I accuse Doctorow of here.
Yeah, he’s… really emblematic of all the tech politics in certain spaces I really hate. Lots of commies in the Free Software world, none of them with power and influence, and I fucking hate the libs but I like the software ethos and the tech politics specifically.
