Verily I say unto thee, that wispygalaxy spake thusly:
> A lot of these issues deal with ethics
That's my primary interest. Others are more focused on technical issues,
but therein lies the danger of becoming so engrossed in solving software
problems that one becomes oblivious (indeed contemptuous) to moral ones.
Take Linus Torvalds or Miguel de Icaza, for example. The former supports
binary blobs in the Linux kernel, and the revocation of our Freedom with
sinister technologies like Tivoisation; the latter poisons Free Software
with Microsoft Intellectual Monopoly, in the form of Mono and Moonlight.
