    Of course, that’s why I go open source, that’s what brought me here to Lemmy.

    Maybe I am wrong to mix music into it, although you might be able to pick up the glove in that aspect too: Morrissey is a narcissistic/racist asshole, yet his music brings me joy. Am I a bad person for that? Should I stop listening to him? I’ve never really bought an album, and I don’t listen to interviews, but his music. Wouldn’t having a nazi OS be the same (mind you not this one, but something without the slop)? Using Temple OS would make me weird, sure, but would that mean I am platforming the mentally deranged?

      There’s no ethical consumption under Capitalism. I get it, too. It could be easily said that this very Internet that’s connecting us have some Nazi fingerprint since the DARPA.

      Your bootleged tracks won’t make a penny to Morrissey nor bring more awareness to him. However, with FOSS, we have a choice. Don’t hatch this serpent’s egg

        I can see how propogating their product would intensify their reach, but the problem I am having is that I cannot differentiate a good app based on ideology.

        Now that I come to think of it, I might not run into that problem. Maybe nazis cannot make wholesome code, because they are not wholesome themselves. That would make my point moot. Thank you for the gentle comment.
