Intolerance and Violence
Today it is Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth. After needless loss of lives, caused by human's (or mankind's) greed and desire for expansion, we seem to have learned no lessons. It is not "needless" when one protects one's territories and family. It always starts with a force of aggression or expansion. Sometimes they seek "Revenge" or "Blood" for something.
In the context of Free software, we see this theme a lot, even if it does not involve blood and firearms. This week we see this again, as LLM boosters try to cancel [sic] those who oppose LLMs. If this was a battlefield, they would attempt to kill or even lynch them.
Intolerance in the software world is not a new problem. We need to recognise it. █
