@Shamar you're not wrong. But if you pay attention it's about a reflection about structure and behavior.
@Shamar dropout g some folks from this subthread to ask a honest question:
"Hackers are not your slaves."
What does this mean to you? I mean, what point do you intend to make by saying that statement in your toot here?
That there is no way to say an #hacker what he should #hack or how.
In the context of that toot, I simply meant that while everyone is always welcome to open an issue and/or fork a #FreeSoftware, a single "#No" from the programmer should always be enough to close an issue.
Hacking is not a matter of #power, it's a matter of #curiosity and #creativity.
It's sad I cannot draw like #VanGogh, but I wouldn't try to force him to draw what I cannot.
He's not my #slave.
