●● [Meme] How Corporate Monopolies Demonise Critics of Their Technically and Legally Problematic ‘Products’


Posted in Deception, Free/Libre Software, IBM, Microsoft at 6:23 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz


Are critics of systemd bigots or just opponents of monopoly/monoculture (i.e. proponents of technological diversity)?


> Image: It's bloated; It's unsafe; Microsoft proprietary trap; IBM controls it... That's racist!


Applicable to many projects, not only systemd or projects that reject reciprocal licences


Summary: When the technical substance of some criticism stands (defensible based upon evidence), and is increasingly difficult to refute based on facts, make up some fictional issue — a straw man argument — and then respond to that phony issue based on no facts at all


fictional issue
