Really enjoyed the recent @LateNightLinux episode 267 where they interview Chris Barnatt from the outstanding #explainingcomputers Youtube channel around some of the unfortunate aspects of the #linux community, gatekeeping, and why being more pragmatic about our open source evangelism.

Big up to these folks in general. The Late Night Linux family are, the only Linux podcasts I listen to. Can't recommend them highly enough.
@feoh @LateNightLinux
I encourage free software links that filter adverts on google youtube, therefore the channel link for LateNightLinux is:
https://invidious.fdn.fr/channel/UCbiGcwDWZjz05njNPrJU7jA
(use these filtered links -
LateNightLinux doesn't even use them on their own podcast page)
@invidious
@freeschool @feoh @invidious Chris is running a YouTube channel so we linked to his YouTube channel. Don't try to FOSS shame us with your bullshit.
"Don't shame me"... reaction (FOFF with your FOSS!)...
@LateNightLinux @feoh @invidious
Ok guys! I pointed out #betterpractices and well your reaction or not is probably accordingly to that reality and somewhat rejection of it (not being so open to someone else).
Make no mistake you are also part of it / I.T. even if linking for others. I was merely suggesting...
Didn't feel like I was shaming...
Interesting you felt that way.
Please... Don't feel too much shame - unless you are also part of doing things that way.
If you're not so much for FOSS (or can't consider it modestly)
you can also FOFF
(Feel Or Forget / Forgive!) :)
Take it more modestly - (shame is also ok - but only if you feel it).
Trying to inflame stuff or call it bullshit is a distraction.
I do get your "no thanks" and missing the point of the opportunity for you to take it more logically and choose better practices. Unless you think it isn't.
Either way...
YOU have a choice. Nothing much more than that.
If you think #FOSS is bullshit then that's also ok - create your way as your own standards and what you support in the world
(or don't).
Cheerio - and I don't mean this too seriously. My first contact with you, so I'll have to believe a bit more about how you do things or are nice as Feoh says (or maybe that gives you right, but anyway).

"Don't shame me"... reaction by LateNightLinux...
@LateNightLinux
Linux-loving people blocking without saying why 😕 🤔
People just telling people to FOFF with their FOSS idea- even though I said it wasn't intended...
https://mastodon.cloud/@LateNightLinux is about Linux and moderated logical speech towards understanding... BUT THEN BLOCKS COLD.
Does this generate more feelings-
YES I think it does and what many don't want and why it's perpetuated ... (kind of like "I know why you want to hate me, because hate is all the world has ever seen lately").
Anyway I've been blocked (you can unblock me) just because I shared logically my measurable feelings - BLOCKED and WITHOUT reasoning...
So it is like "whatever" can move on but the nails are hitting home to people about the people work not being done with these examples and part of almost everything is futile for any work without better human contact / communication and better care who you block.
Or just not blocking as first thing lol. That is unfortunate.
