Thank you, Tux. I will take your advice and create new leftists. Should I tell them about Foss too, or should that wait?
Well everyone's journey is different. I started with just finding out how cool programming is, learned about foss, and then one day said "why doesn't everything follow foss principles?"
and the answer, as with all things, is "because developers have to eat"
my dad bought me a samsung galaxy ace, because an iphone was too expensive. now i run around with a fairphone telling people how great linux is (i never used linux for more than a day)
Tell them about Arch Linux.
FOSS is a good way to convert techbros to leftism.
How can somebody who can hack into any corporation, think Ayn Rand had anything clever to say?
Delusions of self-confidence in their skills due to having an in-demand job. Once supply meets demand and their wages fall to the norm, tech bros won't have that insane level of confidence in having "won" Capitalism.
