Enough of their members will care. The ultra wealthy backers are no doubt above it all, even if they’re not the kind of actively participate. But we’re heading into serious taboo territory here. Like more taboo than murder in many people’s eyes.

This one could actually stick.

When I first read this I thought the title was “tech illiterate” which I thought was a bit rude, but anecdotally true.

Sure we’ve got healthy linux and programmers communities, but I think most people are just regular degular folx.
