I'm not that young, but far from grey still. sometimes I think about it, but when I see all that BS about "inclusive pronouns", cocks in open projects. etc I get sick and definitely don't wanna step into this all. no way. if it was about code quality, hunting down complicated quirks and bugs, making software better and more stable, doing hardcore optimization and so on I could help. I have over 30 years of C/C++ development of network server software and hardware, real-time and high-load things. but I can't stand at python and keep strict suckless priniciples in software. if FOSS needs a serious developer that won't cancel RMS or somebody else for their look, or speech, for personal opinions or whatwever - I can help. but if they're sick leftists busy with changing logo "to show more community something" like Apache does at the moment - this is not my cup of shit. I don't play that games. I'm all about "show me your code" principle, really interested in making software fast and robust. but I'm totally not interested in socializing, banging around with non code-related issues and writing shitware. I cannot stand enshittification that happens all around. I'm purist and that's it.

I’m in a completely different position to you on this, as I think that FOSS, and tech more generally, needs more humanity and thoughtfulness, not less.
